STORYLINE
Two space walking astronauts wired up the International Space Station's newest room on Tuesday and kept the next shuttle visit on track for early December.
Commander Peggy Whitson and Daniel Tani spent hours hooking up power and heater cables and fluid lines between the space station and the Harmony compartment that was delivered by the space shuttle last month.
It was tedious, hand-intensive work.
"Yay! Got it," Whitson exclaimed after making a particularly difficult connection.
The fluid lines - for carrying the coolant ammonia - were in an 18 and a half-foot (5.6 metres), 300-pound (136-kilogrammes) tray.
The space walkers removed the tray from its storage location on the space station, then lugged it over to Harmony and bolted it down.
The next shuttle, Atlantis, is due to blast off on December 6 carrying the European laboratory, Columbus, which will dock with the Harmony unit.
One of Harmony's other parking spaces is reserved for a Japanese laboratory.
