The Endeavor astronauts continued to try to free the robotic arm

The main part of the work was arranging the new Japanese component and getting supplies out of it to the station

Yesterday, Sunday, (actually the night between Saturday and Sunday) the second spacewalk was carried out. Tomorrow the third spacewalk is planned out of the five programmed in mission STS-123.

Space Shuttle Endeavor and the 16th crew members of the space station began the seventh day of mission STS-123. They continued fitting out the Japanese compressed logistics component (JLP), and moved supplies from it into the station, as well as arranging shelves inside the component.
The JLP is the first compressed component that will be part of the Japanese space laboratory Kibo, and the newest component on the station. The component symbolizes the beginning of Japan's scientific work inside the station. The astronauts entered this component for the first time on Friday.

Astronauts Rick Linneman and Mike Foreman completed the assembly of Dexter, the last component of the station's mobile service system, on the second spacewalk. On Sunday during the mission's second spacewalk, crew members will test the brake system on Dexter's robotic arms.

Linman and Robert Behken will end their day sleeping in the station's airlock where they will release the nitrogen from their bodies and breathe clean oxygen in preparation for the third spacewalk that will take place on the night between Monday and Tuesday Israel time.
