Whitson and Tani will hook up more electrical and fluid connections between the Harmony Node 2 and the Destiny laboratory. They also will move another 300-pound, 18.5 foot fluid tray, the Loop B fluid tray, from a temporary location on the station’s main truss to the Destiny lab. The Loop B fluid tray will be placed on the opposite side of where the Loop A fluid tray was placed on Tuesday.
The Expedition 16 crew took a break Wednesday but continue preparing for Saturday’s spacewalk. Preparations include conferences with ground controllers, timeline reviews and readying the spacesuits.
