Harmony moved to final location
14 November 2007
Astronauts on board the International Space Station have relocated Harmony to
its final
position on the forward facing port of the US Destiny laboratory, preparing the
way for the
arrival of the European Columbus laboratory.
The Italian-built Harmony module, also known as Node 2, was delivered to the
International Space Station (ISS) during the recent STS-120 mission. During the
mission's
first spacewalk, Harmony was installed in a temporary location on the port
facing side of
Unity.
Following the departure of STS-120 the Expedition 16 crew proceeded to relocate
the
Space Shuttle docking port, PMA2, from its location on the forward end of
Destiny to the
end of Harmony.

On 14 November, Expedition 16 crew member Daniel Tani used the Station's robotic
arm,
Canadarm2, to move the Node 2 connecting module, with PMA2 attached, to its
permanent
location on the front of the ISS.
