Astronauts Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and Robert "Shane" Kimbrough have completed moving two equipment carts on the front side of the space station's solar power truss. Stefanyshyn-Piper now is positioned on the right side of the power truss, resuming work to clean and lubricate the starboard solar array rotary joint. Kimbrough is located toward the center of the truss, working to lubricate the capture snares on the station's robot arm. Once he is done, he will join Stefanyshyn-Piper at the starboard SARJ to help clean, lubricate and install new bearings.
