Marking its first remodeling since the end of the shuttle program in 2011, the International Space Station’s Permanent Multipurpose Module (PMM) “Leonardo” was moved from the Unity node to Tranquility on Wednesday (May 27) to free a port for cargo freighters and make way for future Boeing and SpaceX commercial crew spacecraft to dock at the outpost. The PMM, which serves as a storage closet, was first installed during STS-133, the final flight of the space shuttle Discovery, four years ago.
