Hmm, what is with the delay? Not that I mind, the JLP is empty now so it should not be a big deal.

Also would like to take the time to say good bye to the Harmony zenith CBM, I am pretty sure that it wont be used again....

Not sure, PAO said it.

This is a great day for Japan to see Kibo and and the JLP being assembled at the ISS.

It is unfortunate that the PAO keeps using the term “permanent home” of the JLM, rather like rubbing salt in an open wound for JAXA.

JLP is now berthed! All ready-to-latch indicators are indicating that they are, of course, ready to latch!

GO for Second Stage capture!

Not sure why Monday, but for the meantime...leak checks etc. From the article I'm drafting (note the past tense, as it's for after the move.)

"Before the JLP Vestibule Pressurization and Leak Checks, the PPRV (Positive Pressure Relief Valve) sample cap was removed. Following the completion of all bolts - 60 minutes after A-bolts - the pressurization began. A Fine Leak Check will be setup for overnight and terminated the next day. "
