The module was freed up after the European Space Agency’s fourth Automated Transfer vehicle departed on Monday.
The move of their Soyuz spacecraft made way for the arrival of another three-person crew set to arrive on Nov. 7, which will be the first time since 2009 that the ISS has had nine crew members.
