STS-133 Report #10 5:30 a m CST Tuesday, March 1, 2011 Mission Control Center, Houston, Texas

HOUSTON � By the end of the day, the International Space Station will have an extra 2,472 cubic feet of storage space, following the installation of the Leonardo Permanent Multipurpose Module

Discovery�s crew members got their wake-up call to begin flight day 6 at 4:57 a m CST, to the tune of �Happy Together� by The Turtles The song was played for Mission Specialist Steve Bowen, who completed his sixth spacewalk on Monday

Preparations for the second spacewalk of the mission will occupy several hours of Bowen�s and fellow spacewalker Alvin Drew�s time, culminating with a crew-wide procedure review and another overnight campout inside the Quest airlock

But first, Mission Specialists Mike Barratt and Nicole Stott will use the station�s 58-foot robotic arm to remove the Leonardo module from Discovery�s cargo bay and fly it to an installation on the Earth-facing port of the Unity node That work is scheduled to begin just after 7 a m and wrap up by 9:38 a m

With the decision that a focused inspection of Discovery�s heat shield won�t be necessary, extra space opened up in the crew�s day As a result, they�re now scheduled to enter Leonardo for the first time today Pilot Eric Boe is scheduled to be the first to float in, just before 6 p m

Barratt and Stott, along with Commander Steve Lindsey and station Commander Scott Kelly, will also take time out of their duties to talk with reporters back on Earth 3:23 p m They�ll be interviewed by KTRK-TV of Houston, and KING-TV and KOMO-TV, of Washington, Barratt�s home state

The next status report will be issued near the end of the crew�s day or earlier if warranted The crew�s sleep period is scheduled to begin at 8:23 p m

STS-133 Report #11 Tuesday, March 1, 2011 - 5:30 p m CST Mission Control Center, Houston, Texas

HOUSTON � The International Space Station has a new room, filled with equipment, supplies and a new device that could be a precursor of spacewalking robots The room was christened at 5:17 pm when the hatch was opened and Expedition 26 Commander Scott Kelly was first to enter

The Permanent Multipurpose Module Leonardo was installed on the Earth-facing port of the station�s Unity node Tuesday at 9:05 a m If it had windows, it would be a room with a heck of a view

The PMM adds 2,472 cubic feet of pressurized storage space to the station It also brings to the station, in addition to a humanoid robot called Robonaut 2, a payload of about 28,000 pounds It includes an express rack capable of housing a variety of scientific experiments, five resupply stowage racks, six resupply stowage platforms and two integrated stowage platforms

The new module was unberthed from Discovery�s cargo bay at 7:26 a m by the station�s arm Mission Specialists Michael Barrett and Nicole Stott used arm controls in the station�s cupola The module had made seven previous visits as a cargo carrier

One of three such carriers built in Italy under contract to the Italian Space Agency, its conversion to a permanent module included adding shielding and rewiring

Preparations for Wednesday�s spacewalk by Mission Specialists Steve Bowen and Al Drew included tool configuration and a spacewalk procedures review by eight of the shuttle and station crew members The spacewalkers were to begin the standard campout in the Quest airlock at 6:48 p m

Barratt, Stott, shuttle Commander Steve Lindsey and station Commander Scott Kelly talked with media representatives from KTRK-TV of Houston and KING-TV and KOMO-TV, both of Seattle, at 3:23 p m

Commanders of both spacecraft were told about 10:15 a m that a proposed Soyuz flight at the station would not take place Discovery will still get an extra day at the station, to be used for PMM outfitting Landing is now scheduled for 10:36 a m Tuesday, March 8 Transfer work continued Tuesday, and is now about 60 percent complete

The next status report will be issued after crew wakeup at 4:23 am Wednesday, or earlier if warranted
