The vestibule for the Kibo Japanese logistics module, or JLP, is being depressurized. This sets the stage for astronauts Karen Nyberg and Greg Chamitoff to use the space station robotic arm to unberth the JLP from the top port of the Harmony node and move it 30 feet to its permanent location on top of the Kibo Japanese Pressurized Module, or JPM. The JLP had been delivered to Harmony during STS-123 in March. Unberthing is planned for around 3 p.m. EDT and installation for about 4:30 p.m.
