Astronauts Scott Parazynski and Doug Wheelock spent a six hour spacewalk preparing the Harmony module for installation into the International Space Station a few hours ago, Harmony is a substantial addition of living area on ISS, and will be the gateway to the European and Japanese laboratory modules to be brought out on subsequent shuttle flights.
Much work remains for the crew of STS-120, however. Before finally attaching Harmony to ISS, a solar panel array needs to be moved to its permanent position on ISS and made operational. NASA has had problems properly deploying such arrays on previous missions, so the astronauts responsible for that task, Stephanie Wilson and Daniel Tai, have their work cut out for them.
