S116-E-05750 (11 Dec. 2006) --- The International Space Station's new P5 truss section is moved out of Space Shuttle Discovery's payload bay by a cabin-bound STS-116 crewmember, using the shuttle's Remote Manipulator System (RMS) robotic arm. The truss section will be handed to the station's Canadarm2 and will remain suspended over Discovery's port wing overnight, awaiting installation in the first of three planned spacewalks on Dec. 12.
