Now comes the part of spaceflight, I don't want to simulate in SSU... Did somebody ever read the checklists for the next hours after docking? Boring stuff and lots of it. Install this, remove that, check atmosphere there, equalize this.

Discovery Arrives at Space Station

Space shuttle Discovery docked with the International Space Station at 2:03 p.m. EDT, delivering the STS-124 crew, a new Japanese module and a new crew member to the orbital outpost.
Discovery carries with it the second component of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Kibo laboratory, the Japanese Pressurized Module (JPM). The 37-foot, 32,000-pound JPM will be attached to the left side of the Harmony connecting node by shuttle and station crew members during a series of three spacewalks. The JPM will join the first component of Kibo, the Japanese Logistics Module, which was launched on the last shuttle flight, STS-123, in March.
Also traveling with STS-124 is a new Expedition 17 crew member, astronaut Greg Chamitoff, who will replace Flight Engineer Garrett Reisman.
The STS-124 and Expedition 17 crews will conduct pressure and leak checks to prepare for the opening of the hatches between the two spacecraft at 3:52 p.m. They will then greet each other to begin nine days of joint operations.
