Spacewalkers Mike Fossum and Ron Garan are ahead of their timeline, continuing to outfit the exterior of the Kibo Japanese Pressurized Module, JPM. They removed a large thermal cover from a common berthing mechanism, or attach point. Friday, the space station robotic arm will move the Kibo logistics module from its temporary home on the Harmony module, to it's new home atop of the Kibo JPM.
Inside the space station, astronauts continue with the internal outfitting of Kibo, moving racks into their new location. The second Kibo power channel also has been activated.
