Node 1 CPA docking mechanism installation
ISS043E256577 (05/26/2015) --- Expedition 43 commander and NASA astronaut Terry Virts is seen here closing the hatch to the Leonardo Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM.) The PMM was moved on May 27, 2015 from the Unity node to the Tranquility node. This freed up a docking port on the Earth-facing side of Unity for visiting cargo vehicles and was the latest activity in the ongoing upgrades to the station to prepare for future U.S. commercial crew vehicles.
