Astronauts driving the space station robotic arm have attached the 9500-pound Kibo Japanese logistics module to the top of the 16-ton Kibo Japanese Pressurized Module, JPM. The logistics module was brought to space in March by STS-123 and temporarily placed atop the Harmony node. Karen Nyberg and Greg Chamitoff extracted it from Harmony at 3:16 p.m. EDT and moved it 30 feet away onto the JPM. First contact occurred at 3:49 p.m., and official installation occurred at 3:58 p.m.
