once coming out from under the old MLI
right did you took off okay otherwise it
goes to the right hand of the
replacement magnetometers each have four
turn knobs to lock them in place over
the top of the existing magnetometers
okay getting a good noodle we have a
very good picture Jeff okay
cy was the one that was on top that's
the first one that I noticed was
actually sort of sitting about like like
so and
I guess we'd get our lights off crews
now are getting their worksite setup
getting their tools in order and making
sure that all the tethers are in place
during a spacewalk the crew can be
distinguished from one another by the
fact that mission specialist Kathy
Thornton will be riding on the arm while
a KERS will be free-floating in addition
Thornton's suit has a broken red stripe
around the legs while Akers suit has a
diagonally broken red stripe around the
legs James one of the things we've been
able to enjoy watching as the
choreography between the crew member
operate and the mechanical arm and the
person that's out on the end of it is
Kathy is here the canadian-built
mechanical arm with a footer string in
it is a marvelous way to do business if
we didn't have that functioning or
available to us we would have to have
foot restraints placed throughout the
payload Bay when the crew members would
have to get in and out of those and kind
of leapfrog the handling of the various
different instruments to and from this
telescope as here doing the work this
saves a tremendous amount of time
altogether
stitching the top stitching toward me a
little bit to you right there okay
looking good
why don't we stop that decade to you I'm
comfortable with the position to watch
you come back in within about six inches
or so they look at it didn't touch
anything coming out
on the west
Debra houston we've got a good shot of
your time from the elbow they want a way
to pay and the girls sorry I just saying
that we got a great shot of Tom there we
can see his face very clearly I thought
he might want to wave to home
that's good for out now right someone
opening
it's like the picture stretchy okay
let's go into the telescope cloth okay
blow me down a little more I know we're
gonna need that when we get to okay
mention some calories we'll just stop
stop I think you may be ditching me down
whisper all right okay hey sorry yes
there was 42 42 turns it sucks to get
this guide start out I can't believe me
so that's like start like 42
okay I'm just starting each of them a
couple turn story
make sure lined up all starting other to
it down large cut eating down slowly
from the a flash side not touching the
sticky stuff
well I guess we have to close this
pretty picture up safety very closing
the thermal cover story
I get bitter water next does that ride
you want to reduce the Yukon I'm getting
the thermal cover now
I do have some good news for you Jeff
and for everybody the Palos folks
informed me that the D F and the
coprocessor have gone through a complete
checkout and are fully functional great
news
well almost home-free that's right the
way I see it then we've got a basically
a new telescope up there and it should
be real exciting for the astronomical
community I guess for the whole world to
see what really could do with a good set
of eyeballs endeavour Houston more good
news
coprocessor is checked out fully
verified
this is Mission Control Houston aboard
endeavour at present the crew is just a
little more than five minutes away from
an engine firing that will serve to
reboost endeavour and the Hubble Space
Telescope raise the orbit to circular
orbit of 321 nautical miles above Earth
Debra's moving toward sunset about five
minutes away from a store where you
think about you putting your tether on
to hold the door open
he's gonna catch up
in progress the manual deploy of the
second solar array down to the open
position the secondary drive mechanisms
that actually roll out the new solar
array blankets is not done until after
this EBA is completed or this spacewalk
the payload community commenting that
they're relieved to see this solar array
being opened
Deborah Houston the GRS is ready and
awaiting space telescope operations
control center has turned off any
electrical connections or an electrical
power to the Goddard high-resolution
spectrograph and cruise been given a go
to install the redundancy kit the
cabling kit that was designed for this
task once they get the doors open
there's four latches on the doors that
protect the the instrument along with
the faint object spectrograph
I can do
back to the top of the telescope story
Musgrave and Jeff Hoffman again to
install some fabricated insulation boxes
over the old magnetic sensing systems as
the orbiter moves up the northwest coast
of Australia and Kyle those two
gentlemen on the end of that arm are
having the view of their lives right now
looking over the top of the scope down
at the earth you heard story even remark
about it I can tell you this is this is
probably a moment they'll remember for
many many many many years and we have
got an unbelievable picture from the
elbow camera right now
never Houston we're ready for free drift
and we need a camera view of the array
please we do not want to leave and we do
not want to delay the egress of the MFR
however back over on here a org or 3
trip
or a checkup - you're right you're gonna
hit him help story hit their rock 101 is
good I'll mark it off
the second solar array wing process of
being deployed as endeavour moves off
the southeastern coast of Madagascar
again the flex in the arrays is designed
to account for any tolerances in
movement of the solar arrays
high gain antenna deploy is in progress
aboard endeavour and aboard the Hubble
Space Telescope this is a simultaneous
deploy of both antennas one on this side
of the telescope and 180 degrees around
on the backside of this telescope this
is about a seven minute in duration
process very slow and deliberate
in view the to grapple fixtures that are
available for the shuttles robot arm to
retrieve and deploy the telescope for
servicing this is Mission Control
Houston we now have live television from
a cameras in endeavours cargo bay
Dever currently above the Southern
Pacific Ocean on a track that will have
it to make landfall above Central
America this view showing the solar
panels the new solar arrays that were
installed by the crew on the second
spacewalk of the mission and that were
unfurled yesterday Kubby we'd like you
to go ahead and not perform the maneuver
that you've got loaded up for 1800 and
I'll tell you why we have been spending
a lot of time looking at Diu 2 telemetry
and we now conclude that we do see more
than just data dropouts and that
telemetry we're looking at the signature
of the power control unit and it is
indicating that there is some
troubleshooting that it's worthwhile to
perform before we deploy this thing
primarily having to do with the a side
of the Diu so what we want to do is
spend the next 2 to 3 revs doing this
troubleshooting it involves going to
internal power once we get to our next
sunset and then swapping to the B side
of that Diu
and in addition to that we're also
checking out the functionality of the
battery charge relays all of this is
going to take at least 2 revs to
accomplish and because of that we are
definitely going to delay to deploy by 2
revs during the next couple hours we're
going to be looking at all of this
troubleshooting information and by m ET
of 20 hours we hope to have a decision
of whether or not we will actually
deploy today this will of course depend
on what we see over the next couple revs
in the meantime we'd like you guys to
sit tight don't perform any maneuver
like the attitude we're in right now we
will give you a call for the internal
power step and we want you to just relax
for a while and in bask in the glow of
all the great work you've been doing the
last week okay well we understand
understand Susan we've got plenty of
work to do other than a deploy we're
taking care of that stuff now get back
together and we'll continue working
those things my understanding is there's
nothing at the white plan that you want
us to do then until you give us a call
that's correct Covey if we decide that
we need to put you to work on something
else in order to make our time more
efficient for the next couple days we
will call you this is the Space
Telescope operations Control Center at
the Goddard Space Flight Center in
Greenbelt Maryland with that call from
mission specialists Kathy Thornton
confirming that the Space Telescope has
now been switched to its own internal
power sources the next step in this
troubleshooting procedure during this
night pass endeavour now is on the
nighttime side of Earth with about a
little under 33 minutes left to go
before sunrise comes again for the
spacecraft the next step is
disconnection of the umbilical through
which electrical power has been fed to
the telescope throughout its stay in the
cargo bay and the Space Telescope but
now already operating off of its own
battery power on board endeavour Houston
with the final chapter the big picture
final chapters now quick welcome you
I've got good news we have taken a look
at that data from the B side and it all
checks out the HST project would like to
deploy today and so we are going to go
ahead and press toward a relief we are
going to uplink to you a nuri planned
flight plan that has moved all of your
activities for that Rev 121 deploy and
we just want to let you know that right
now there's no activity required from
you until about 21 hours even when we'll
be talking about a group B powerup we
are hoping to get the uplink through
tips of your new flight plan within the
next half hour great do it and
understand that at the 2100 hours which
will be the scheduled activity and we're
as EoE that's good copy
this view from the camera at the end of
the arm is the fixture is lined up
and the Pinto deploying or evil systems
officer here the position with the
responsibility for the mechanical arm
reports that telescopes now securely
captured laches continue to open again
once all the latches are open the next
step will be for claude nicollier to
lift the telescope from its platform to
position just above the cargo bay
position called a low hover there the
petal deploy retrieval systems officer
reports telescopes now about two feet up
above the platform as Nicole a continues
to slowly raise it up to first a
position paused above the cargo bay at
low hover
commands are being sent now to open the
telescopes aperture door and to activate
the mechanisms control unit for the door
emergency closure
we have a good release Pig Sepp was one
our zero minutes 22 seconds copy one
hour zero minutes 22 seconds cubby and
we have to say that through your superb
efforts you have really shown that NASA
can do all that we promise to do and
more and we very much appreciate it the
sentiments of the payload community and
in fact the all of the flight control
team expressed on the model in front of
the flight director console HST reopened
for business completely completely
renovated that now that the telescope is
locked onto the tracking and data relay
satellite transmitting data on its own
oh it's not bad
and I got to tell you these views are so
spectacular
but over the course of the last week
we've seen so many spectacular views
that you almost get none to it
they're still incredible though we know
what you start the top the one from the
day before you're right about that
okay we really appreciate being allowed
total offense
we got a kind of seat is really
spectacular Mediterranean past at night
and we're looking at what looks like the
brightest morning star you ever saw over
here trailing behind
in this view showing the entire island
of Madagascar off the east coast of
Africa in the Indian Ocean
go ahead endeavor Roger you get downlink
video of the dump that's firm we're
watching it right now looks pretty
interesting kind of like a cycle and
basically what flavor thinking
well this view showing the arm as it
descends down into the cradle along the
left-hand edge of the bay once it's in
the cradle laches will latch it in place
and then it'll be totally powered off
that's firm we sure are okay well what's
the plan now is awesome
Santonio at the top of the screen
Houston at the bottom and Austin on the
right side alright that's a great view
this view showing actually a Houston
Texas and we can only imagine and we're
all jealous hey hey well we're getting a
great picture of Fort Walton Beach and
we'll pass that along
looks like a good place to play golf
in a Denver Houston for Jeff all of
America would like to know what you've
got in what you're doing with it well
this is the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah
and there's various ways that we
celebrate it and one of the games that
that we play is a little game with a
dreidel and it's something that you spin
and then you see which side comes up and
according to that you either win or lose
and I was just trying to see how you
might reinterpret the rules for
spaceflight since there's no up or down
and I guess on the subject note the
celebration
I also brought along the other thing
that we do
panic is the festival of lights' it
lasts eight days and to celebrated we
light a little menorah which has eight
candles and you like one more every day
until finally on the eighth day you have
eight candles and so I bought a little
traveling menorah for supper in the
shuttle we're not going to actually
light the candles to help the
celebration of the season I brought it
along it's a little little silver
travelling menorah and so with that in
the dreidel
I'm all set for my onboard Hanukkah
celebration we are getting a spectacular
view of all of Florida at this moment
out the window
I believe we have here the signatures of
all the personnel of particular surgery
and people that's gonna be those on
University can we see it close thank you
endeavor it looks like the entry team is
going to come in and take our hours for
the rest of the mission so orbit one
would like to say at you and good luck
and we will talk to you at Ellington
this is Mission Control Houston this
television view from endeavours flight
deck at the cockpit of endeavour shows a
commander dick Covey as he prepares to
work with the pilot to in-flight landing
operations trainer it's a simulation of
landing that Covey and then that pilot
Ken Bowersox will both work with
Bowersox here right - behind Covey as
Covey works with it to hone their
landing skills
that was a very nice approach yeah tacos
down here taking notes
and finally from the orbit 2 team we
would like to convey our thanks to you
guys for doing just a stupendous job it
was great for us who watch you
professionals at work up there and for
me down here to watch the professionals
of work down here it was a heck of a
team and we're all proud of how well
this has turned out and we wish you
Godspeed in a safe trip home thanks Greg
and melt and all of the rest of the
orbit 2 team that's there we appreciate
that the work that you put in being a
part of the team helping us through the
things we had to do in order to get to
the end of this mission which hopefully
will be tomorrow and we'll see y'all at
ellington later on in the morning see
that company will see you at Ellington
