PMA-3 ready to be moved














The unbolting of pressurized mating adapter 3 is complete, and the docking device is ready to be moved to its new location 90 degrees downward on the earth-facing port of the Unity node.

The movement by robot arm, which will take about a hour, is similar to this graphic animation. Ground controllers have given clearance for docking on the new port.
