After Node Hatch is open

- Vestibule Outfitting: Installation of air ducts and removal of equipment needed to bolt Cygnus in Place.

- Removing MLI ("multi-layer insulation") from the hatchway and set up of the tools for the procedure.

- Before openning Cygnus Hatch ,the 4 CPA "Control Panel Assemblies" (used to drive the CBM Bolts) are removed and Cygnus  is connected to ISS Data and Power Systems via redundant jumpers.

- Hatchway covers were installed and the pressure equalization valve was opened in preparation for Cygnus hatch opening.

- Once the two Hatches are open, wearing protective mask and glasses, the crew perform Air Sampling as part of initial ingress operations and they inspect the interior of the spacecraft for any damage or FOD ("Foreign Object Debris").

Pizza Delivery!
(I wouldn't want to think of the delivery tip required!)

Space delivery: Astronauts get ice cream, make-own pizzas

 CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Astronauts got a mouth-watering haul with Tuesday's Earth-to-space delivery -- pizza and ice cream.

A commercial supply ship arrived at the International Space Station two days after launching from Virginia. Besides NASA equipment and experiments, the Orbital ATK capsule holds chocolate and vanilla ice cream for the six station astronauts, as well as make-your-own flatbread pizzas.
