Friday’s cable work on the PMA-3 will prepare it for its relocation from the Tranquility module to the Harmony module on March 30. The relocation opens up the Tranquility port for the future installation of the new International Docking Adapter-3 set to be delivered on a future cargo mission.

There are 2 Whitson Landings in this schedule, on June 2, and Sept. 3rd. I know she gets a lot done up there; did they clone her?
March 24 – EVA1 (EPIC MDM and SPDM LEE Lube) March 26 – PMA3 Relocation from N3 to N2 March 30 – EVA2 (EPIC MDM and Shields) April 2 – OA7 Capture/Berthing April 6 – EVA3 (ExPCA R&R) The OA7 launch date is currently under review. Once OATK and ULA determine their launch date, then we will re-assess the Apr 2 OA7 capture/berth date and the Apr 6 EVA date as required.

Confirmed by NASAhttps://blogs.nasa.gov/orbital/?linkId=36154058QuoteNASA, Orbital ATK and United Launch Alliance (ULA) are now targeting April 18 for the launch of Orbital ATK’s seventh contracted commercial resupply services mission to the International Space Station. ULA has developed a plan to resolve an earlier booster hydraulic issue, and is moving forward with launch vehicle processing. Both the Atlas V rocket and Cygnus spacecraft remain secure. Several tons of cargo including crew supplies and science experiments packed aboard Cygnus remain in good shape.

Do I read correct?Whitson will not stay until the landing of Soyuz MS-04 in September 2017. Her landing will be on June 02, 2017 with Soyuz MS-03.Correct Salo?
NASA and the Russian space agency Roscosmos, signed an agreement to extend Peggy Whitson’s stay on the space station into Expedition 52. Rather than returning to Earth with her Expedition 51 crew mates Oleg Novitsky of Roscosmos and Thomas Pesquet of ESA (European Space Agency), in June as originally planned, Whitson will remain on the space station and return home with NASA’s Jack Fischer and Roscosmos’ Fyodor Yurchikhin. That landing is targeted for September.
