00:00:04,950 --> 00:00:03,110
good afternoon and welcome back to the

2
00:00:06,789 --> 00:00:04,960
johnson space center for today's mission

3
00:00:09,030 --> 00:00:06,799
status briefing on atlantis flight to

4
00:00:11,350 --> 00:00:09,040
the international space station another

5
00:00:13,589 --> 00:00:11,360
day another eva and with us today to

6
00:00:15,350 --> 00:00:13,599
discuss the day's activities are emily

7
00:00:18,230 --> 00:00:15,360
nelson the lead international space

8
00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:18,240
station flight director for sts-132

9
00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:20,160
and lisa shore the lead spacewalk

10
00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:21,840
officer for the mission and we'll start

11
00:00:27,830 --> 00:00:24,480
off with emily thanks rob

12
00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:27,840
well today was obviously eva 2 we headed

13
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:29,199
out the door a little more than 30

14
00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:30,720
minutes ahead of the timeline and that's

15
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:32,640
after we shifted the entire timeline 30

16
00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:35,040
minutes early to try to get a jump start

17
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,719
on the overall sleep shift we have to do

18
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:38,719
for the mission in order to have the

19
00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:41,840
crew awake at the right time for landing

20
00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:43,920
we ran a little long with the eva so we

21
00:00:48,389 --> 00:00:46,000
ended up coming inside right on time so

22
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:48,399
we're back on our our timeline at this

23
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:49,440
point

24
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:52,320
the tasks that we were doing

25
00:01:00,470 --> 00:00:53,360
the

26
00:01:02,389 --> 00:01:00,480
truss

27
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:02,399
these were really hard ahead of time

28
00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:04,159
pre-flight for us to judge exactly how

29
00:01:08,190 --> 00:01:06,400
long they were going to take based on

30
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:08,200
a lot of the lessons learned we had with

31
00:01:12,390 --> 00:01:10,320
sts-127s experience

32
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:12,400
and what we learned from that what we

33
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:13,760
learned from our training on the ground

34
00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:15,920
it was difficult to tell how how well

35
00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:18,080
these were going to go so we had book

36
00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:21,200
kept three battery installations today

37
00:01:25,270 --> 00:01:23,439
we managed to get far enough ahead that

38
00:01:27,030 --> 00:01:25,280
we went for a fourth battery so we're

39
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,040
ahead for tomorrow for

40
00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:29,840
the last eva of this mission

41
00:01:33,749 --> 00:01:31,360
before we even got to the batteries

42
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:33,759
though we had the cable issue with the

43
00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:36,240
camera on the orbiter boom we

44
00:01:40,630 --> 00:01:38,560
started the eva with this task steve

45
00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:40,640
stopped off at about the midpoint of the

46
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:42,880
truss jumped in a foot restraint we

47
00:01:46,389 --> 00:01:44,960
brought the camera over to him tony did

48
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:46,399
and

49
00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:49,520
he plucked the cable out of the

50
00:01:54,789 --> 00:01:51,439
location where it was stuck near a hard

51
00:01:55,910 --> 00:01:54,799
stop tie wrapped it to itself and a

52
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:55,920
quick check out of the camera

53
00:01:59,030 --> 00:01:57,600
demonstrated that that was sufficient to

54
00:02:00,630 --> 00:01:59,040
give us full functionality of that

55
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:00,640
camera back so

56
00:02:05,670 --> 00:02:03,040
the orbiter boom is back in a good

57
00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:07,350
then we went into the batteries we

58
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:08,800
finished up the batteries and cleaned up

59
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:12,000
the work site quickly enough that

60
00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:14,160
we were able to give a go for them to go

61
00:02:18,070 --> 00:02:15,760
back to the antenna that we were trying

62
00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:18,080
to work on on eva one and they managed

63
00:02:22,710 --> 00:02:19,599
to fix that as well

64
00:02:24,869 --> 00:02:22,720
so we had a really successful eva today

65
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:24,879
we're all incredibly excited i don't

66
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:26,720
think mission control could be any more

67
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:27,840
proud

68
00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:28,720
and

69
00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:30,319
inside the station tj was working on

70
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:32,080
some maintenance of our oxygen

71
00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:34,480
generation system soichi was working on

72
00:02:39,190 --> 00:02:36,480
a lot of of water samples and science

73
00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:39,200
and and tc was uh tracy was working on

74
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,400
getting the crew out the door and back

75
00:02:44,869 --> 00:02:42,720
in again so the whole crew was was was

76
00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:44,879
real busy today and and it was a really

77
00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:46,560
successful day

78
00:02:50,710 --> 00:02:48,400
tomorrow the

79
00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:50,720
both crews have fairly light days the

80
00:02:55,110 --> 00:02:53,840
shuttle crew will be working on

81
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:55,120
transfer mostly in the morning and then

82
00:02:59,110 --> 00:02:56,720
they'll have the afternoon off and the

83
00:03:00,550 --> 00:02:59,120
station crew will be working on some

84
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:00,560
science some transfer and some

85
00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:02,480
maintenance activities as well

86
00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:04,720
and that will set us up in preparation

87
00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:07,120
for a very busy day on eba 3 flight day

88
00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:08,000
8.

89
00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:10,720
and that about sums it up

90
00:03:13,910 --> 00:03:12,560
lisa

91
00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:13,920
thank you

92
00:03:17,589 --> 00:03:15,840
as emily said i mean today was just an

93
00:03:19,750 --> 00:03:17,599
incredible incredible

94
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:19,760
we accomplished more than we ever hoped

95
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:21,440
going out the door

96
00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:23,280
it's also a tribute to

97
00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:26,400
just how hard our crews train and how

98
00:03:31,030 --> 00:03:28,159
well the ground and the

99
00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:31,040
on-orbit teams work together

100
00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:33,519
going out the doors emily said

101
00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:35,120
we had altered our timeline to have

102
00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:38,239
steve uh go out and pluck the cable and

103
00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:40,879
wire tie it back to itself on the boom

104
00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:43,120
in order for that to happen and keep the

105
00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:44,720
eva moving

106
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:46,480
we still wanted to

107
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:49,280
get a jump on our p6 battery prep so

108
00:03:53,190 --> 00:03:51,760
bueno went ahead and headed out to the

109
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:53,200
p6 truss

110
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:55,120
and performed tasks that nominally would

111
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:57,200
have been steve's so

112
00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:58,560
the cross training that we did through

113
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:01,200
our training flow just paid off there

114
00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:03,120
bueno was able to get a jump on moving

115
00:04:07,149 --> 00:04:04,879
the foot restraints from the other side

116
00:04:09,350 --> 00:04:07,159
of the truss where 2ja

117
00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:09,360
sts-127 had done

118
00:04:14,229 --> 00:04:11,840
the battery rnr work

119
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:14,239
and then by the time steve had finished

120
00:04:18,069 --> 00:04:15,920
the cable repair

121
00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:18,079
and was able to head out

122
00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:20,880
we were well over probably about halfway

123
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:21,759
through

124
00:04:25,189 --> 00:04:23,360
that task

125
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:25,199
and were able to pick up almost on our

126
00:04:30,070 --> 00:04:28,320
nominal timeline by that point the crew

127
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:30,080
then went into

128
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:31,759
temp stowing the battery

129
00:04:35,590 --> 00:04:33,280
as we had planned pulled the first

130
00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:35,600
battery out of the truss

131
00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:37,840
temp stowed it down there on the

132
00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:41,120
bottom or nader side of the truss and

133
00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:44,560
is actually still there right now

134
00:04:48,710 --> 00:04:46,560
and we will plan to put that battery

135
00:04:51,030 --> 00:04:48,720
back into our carrier

136
00:04:52,469 --> 00:04:51,040
on eva3

137
00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:52,479
and then what can i say about the

138
00:04:57,110 --> 00:04:54,800
battery rnr's the crew just worked

139
00:04:58,710 --> 00:04:57,120
together flawlessly they showed great

140
00:05:01,029 --> 00:04:58,720
teamwork

141
00:05:03,590 --> 00:05:01,039
all of their calls were crisp and clean

142
00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:03,600
and they helped each other when one guy

143
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:05,360
had a you know

144
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:06,960
nothing but battery in his face the

145
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:08,240
other guy was

146
00:05:12,070 --> 00:05:10,320
helping him you know guide the battery

147
00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:12,080
either into the truss or back into the

148
00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:13,120
pallet

149
00:05:17,830 --> 00:05:15,840
um just just flawless execution of the

150
00:05:19,350 --> 00:05:17,840
eva like i said better than we could

151
00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:19,360
have hoped for

152
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:21,919
um towards the end of the eva then we

153
00:05:26,070 --> 00:05:23,600
cleaned up

154
00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:26,080
that all went really well

155
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:28,320
or we left our tool bags out there for

156
00:05:34,790 --> 00:05:31,680
use again on eva3 as we continue the

157
00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:34,800
r the last two batteries to go into the

158
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:37,039
truss from the pallet

159
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:39,440
when we came back in uh since we did

160
00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:40,720
have a little bit of time and our

161
00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:42,320
consumables were still looking good on

162
00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:43,759
the spacesuits

163
00:05:47,749 --> 00:05:45,280
uh we had given the crew a heads up

164
00:05:49,189 --> 00:05:47,759
before we went out the door that we

165
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:49,199
would probably

166
00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:51,840
um or not probably that we would like to

167
00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,800
take a look at the escant given time and

168
00:05:57,990 --> 00:05:56,160
crews attitude was great they were

169
00:06:00,870 --> 00:05:58,000
feeling good so

170
00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:00,880
we sent them to the airlock to retrieve

171
00:06:06,070 --> 00:06:03,600
the tools necessary in a bag

172
00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:06,080
to take a look at the escant and

173
00:06:10,390 --> 00:06:08,639
they went up there again bueno doing a

174
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:10,400
task that he had not nominally trained

175
00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:12,960
for but we had done some cross training

176
00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:14,560
because you just never know how things

177
00:06:18,950 --> 00:06:16,080
are going to go

178
00:06:21,110 --> 00:06:18,960
up in space and and you know again they

179
00:06:22,629 --> 00:06:21,120
just work together really well

180
00:06:25,029 --> 00:06:22,639
we're able to

181
00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:25,039
get those bolts torqued back down we

182
00:06:30,550 --> 00:06:28,240
didn't see any motion uh in the dish uh

183
00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:30,560
when we did our wiggle test

184
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:32,400
and we're given the go to remove the

185
00:06:38,309 --> 00:06:35,280
gimbal locks so as far as i know now

186
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:38,319
that piece of hardware our new 14-foot

187
00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:39,680
structure up the center of the truss

188
00:06:42,629 --> 00:06:40,800
there

189
00:06:46,230 --> 00:06:42,639
should be good to

190
00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:46,240
go for checkouts later in the stage

191
00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:48,800
and then crew came back inside uh talked

192
00:06:54,629 --> 00:06:51,599
to him afterwards they're feeling good

193
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:54,639
and we're ready to go perform eva3

194
00:07:00,870 --> 00:06:57,360
i did bring a little prop with me

195
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:00,880
and everybody thinks oh you know you

196
00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:02,880
you know you fix the cable on that boom

197
00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:05,680
and it seems like a little thing but the

198
00:07:10,390 --> 00:07:06,720
the

199
00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:10,400
putting a wire tie

200
00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:11,759
on

201
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:12,960
a

202
00:07:38,309 --> 00:07:35,840
uh

203
00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:38,319
tape kept on tape here and then another

204
00:07:41,990 --> 00:07:40,400
wire tie that created that loop so those

205
00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:42,000
pieces are actually still outside now in

206
00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:45,280
one of our trash bags

207
00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:47,840
zoom back out there you go

208
00:07:50,710 --> 00:07:49,199
and uh

209
00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:50,720
we'll retrieve those when we bring our

210
00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:53,039
our bags back inside on eba 3.

211
00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:55,440
anyway i'm just as happy as can be

212
00:08:01,990 --> 00:07:57,360
like i said the guys perform flawlessly

213
00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:02,000
and and we're ready to go for eva3

214
00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:04,080
okay we'll take questions uh here in

215
00:08:07,589 --> 00:08:05,759
houston we also have reporters on the

216
00:08:08,469 --> 00:08:07,599
phone bridge uh

217
00:08:12,469 --> 00:08:08,479
mark

218
00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:12,479
i'm just wondering during the third

219
00:08:17,189 --> 00:08:14,400
spacewalk if if there are other

220
00:08:19,909 --> 00:08:17,199
activities you can add to it if if the

221
00:08:24,869 --> 00:08:19,919
first two battery changes go as well as

222
00:08:31,589 --> 00:08:29,350
um we actually where we are now for eva3

223
00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:31,599
remarkably enough is back to our

224
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:34,240
original plan

225
00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:36,560
originally we had planned to r r two

226
00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:39,519
batteries in the third eva do a full

227
00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:41,360
cleanup of the p6 truss which we will

228
00:08:46,230 --> 00:08:43,839
now do and then retrieve the

229
00:08:47,590 --> 00:08:46,240
grapple fixture from the payload bay so

230
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:47,600
all of those items will be in the

231
00:08:53,110 --> 00:08:51,040
timeline for eva 3 and then we also have

232
00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:53,120
a couple of get ahead tasks

233
00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:55,040
reconfiguring

234
00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:56,640
an ammonia jumper doesn't have any

235
00:08:59,509 --> 00:08:58,800
ammonia in it right now just nitrogen

236
00:09:02,710 --> 00:08:59,519
and

237
00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:02,720
stowing some of our eva tools as we

238
00:09:07,509 --> 00:09:06,000
perform evas things tend to come inside

239
00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:07,519
so we need to take some of our tools and

240
00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:14,310
uh bill harwin cbs this may be a

241
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:17,040
question for rob is there an update from

242
00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:19,360
mmt on inspections and any thinking

243
00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:21,600
along those lines i'll leave emily to

244
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:22,720
talk to them

245
00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:24,880
that's fine too yeah i checked in uh

246
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:26,320
before coming over here from the control

247
00:09:31,350 --> 00:09:29,680
center and this morning they didn't

248
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:31,360
officially make or this afternoon i

249
00:09:33,430 --> 00:09:32,480
guess they didn't officially make a

250
00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:33,440
decision

251
00:09:37,430 --> 00:09:35,279
as i understand it the challenge that

252
00:09:39,670 --> 00:09:37,440
that folks are having is that

253
00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:39,680
we've been gathering imagery from a

254
00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:41,360
variety of sources we're not used to

255
00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:44,240
using for clearing the vehicle for

256
00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:46,640
for entry for example garrett took some

257
00:09:49,590 --> 00:09:48,240
fabulous photos while he was stuck on

258
00:09:51,190 --> 00:09:49,600
the arm the other day and they're using

259
00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:51,200
those

260
00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:53,040
as part of the data set that they're

261
00:09:57,590 --> 00:09:56,000
using to confirm that the vehicle is in

262
00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:57,600
tip-top shape

263
00:10:01,430 --> 00:09:59,440
as i understand it the

264
00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:01,440
vehicle is looking great but because

265
00:10:07,509 --> 00:10:04,720
it's an unusual set of data in terms of

266
00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:07,519
it's not from the usual sources not from

267
00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:09,600
the usual procedures folks are wanting

268
00:10:12,389 --> 00:10:10,880
to take their time to make sure that

269
00:10:14,150 --> 00:10:12,399
they're getting all of the information

270
00:10:14,870 --> 00:10:14,160
that they need to make those decisions

271
00:10:17,269 --> 00:10:14,880
with

272
00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:17,279
so meanwhile we do have folks still

273
00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:18,399
looking at

274
00:10:22,389 --> 00:10:19,920
um

275
00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:22,399
whether we could fit and what kind what

276
00:10:28,069 --> 00:10:25,360
amount of inspection would fit into to

277
00:10:29,910 --> 00:10:28,079
the flight day 9 timeline without

278
00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:29,920
making having any violations of our

279
00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:31,360
rules in terms of keeping the crew up

280
00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:33,519
too long or having too many work hours

281
00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:35,760
in the day

282
00:10:40,630 --> 00:10:37,920
but i expect a decision tomorrow

283
00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:40,640
formally to determine whether we'll do

284
00:10:43,990 --> 00:10:42,160
any further expression

285
00:10:46,069 --> 00:10:44,000
inspection during the docked mission or

286
00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:46,079
now that the boom camera is fully

287
00:10:51,509 --> 00:10:48,000
functional and you expect to get a fully

288
00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:51,519
nominal post undock late inspection

289
00:10:54,310 --> 00:10:52,640
it's

290
00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:54,320
possible that they'll decide to forego

291
00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:55,760
any further imagery during the flight

292
00:11:01,030 --> 00:10:58,000
and just rely on that late inspection

293
00:11:03,509 --> 00:11:01,040
okay thanks and uh and for for lisa

294
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:03,519
maybe or for you i'm not sure which um

295
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:04,800
looking down the road you know we were

296
00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:06,160
trying to get ahead items before this

297
00:11:10,150 --> 00:11:07,760
thing started if you get what you've got

298
00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:10,160
planned on eva 3 done

299
00:11:14,150 --> 00:11:12,240
um can you give me a sense of what's

300
00:11:16,150 --> 00:11:14,160
left out there i mean i remember lots of

301
00:11:17,430 --> 00:11:16,160
evas where things have fallen off and

302
00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:17,440
you know things that you might add to

303
00:11:21,030 --> 00:11:19,600
133 for example which

304
00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:21,040
i know there aren't if spacewalks

305
00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:22,240
officially plan for that mission but

306
00:11:25,509 --> 00:11:24,160
they may add some i guess what what sort

307
00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:25,519
of things will still remain after this

308
00:11:33,829 --> 00:11:31,990
not a good feel for what's on the list

309
00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:33,839
right now

310
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:35,519
i i would characterize the list of

311
00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:40,160
what's remaining there's not a lot of

312
00:11:43,829 --> 00:11:41,920
the same kinds of tasks you've been

313
00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:43,839
seeing that are normally associated with

314
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:46,320
joint missions the the big installation

315
00:11:51,829 --> 00:11:48,240
tasks or the big

316
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:51,839
fix tasks we've got an eva currently on

317
00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:53,600
the books for this summer

318
00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:55,760
that's supposed to take the pdgf that

319
00:11:59,509 --> 00:11:57,279
we're the grapple fixture we're bringing

320
00:12:00,949 --> 00:11:59,519
in from the payload bay on flight day

321
00:12:02,069 --> 00:12:00,959
eight and

322
00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:02,079
after

323
00:12:05,509 --> 00:12:03,920
making some modifications to it inside

324
00:12:08,870 --> 00:12:05,519
the space station it'll go back outside

325
00:12:11,590 --> 00:12:08,880
to get installed on the zarya module

326
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:11,600
so it's kind of smaller tasks like that

327
00:12:16,550 --> 00:12:14,480
that are left on the list so beyond the

328
00:12:31,269 --> 00:12:16,560
the

329
00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:31,279
none that are real urgent that i'm aware

330
00:12:34,949 --> 00:12:33,200
of

331
00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:34,959
robert

332
00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:40,000
collectspace.com um for lisa i think uh

333
00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:42,160
given how simple the tie

334
00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:44,079
wraps look can you give just a sense of

335
00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:45,519
how many people were involved in

336
00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:46,959
developing that were their competing

337
00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:54,069
i wouldn't say there was competing

338
00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:56,639
designs uh there was if i can't give you

339
00:13:01,030 --> 00:12:58,320
an exact number but there was a large

340
00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:01,040
number of people involved uh in the

341
00:13:07,269 --> 00:13:03,920
design of the thai wrap um we actually

342
00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:07,279
uh had people out in the ksc area that

343
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:08,959
had been out there to watch the launch

344
00:13:12,389 --> 00:13:10,560
and we were able to call

345
00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:12,399
on some of those folks it turned out

346
00:13:16,389 --> 00:13:13,920
that the

347
00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:16,399
pan tilt unit flight hardware was

348
00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:18,160
already out at ksc

349
00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:20,240
so we were able to utilize some of those

350
00:13:25,350 --> 00:13:22,800
folks out there um immediately i think

351
00:13:26,629 --> 00:13:25,360
on sunday we were able to get them in

352
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:26,639
or saturday i can't remember which day

353
00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:28,320
it was at this point i think it was

354
00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:29,440
saturday

355
00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:31,040
and get them over there to start looking

356
00:13:35,190 --> 00:13:33,120
at the hardware

357
00:13:36,949 --> 00:13:35,200
and uh start working a fix right there

358
00:13:38,550 --> 00:13:36,959
with the actual um

359
00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:38,560
flight hardware and then we had a full

360
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:41,360
team of people eva people anyway

361
00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:42,320
um

362
00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:44,000
starting to work packages and put it

363
00:13:48,870 --> 00:13:46,000
together with us and

364
00:13:50,470 --> 00:13:48,880
we have one team working the uh outside

365
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:50,480
fix you know actually actually how to

366
00:13:53,670 --> 00:13:52,160
install the tie wrap there's another

367
00:13:55,189 --> 00:13:53,680
team working

368
00:13:57,110 --> 00:13:55,199
to develop

369
00:14:00,389 --> 00:13:57,120
you know what the crew needs to do

370
00:14:02,790 --> 00:14:00,399
inside what tools need to be gathered

371
00:14:04,870 --> 00:14:02,800
since we wouldn't typically interface

372
00:14:07,030 --> 00:14:04,880
with the boom or that laser there was a

373
00:14:09,829 --> 00:14:07,040
whole host of inhibits and safety

374
00:14:11,189 --> 00:14:09,839
precautions that had to be considered so

375
00:14:13,030 --> 00:14:11,199
there's quite a fair number of people

376
00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:13,040
involved in even something that seems to

377
00:14:17,910 --> 00:14:16,240
be a very simple task

378
00:14:21,990 --> 00:14:17,920
okay let's go to the phone bridge now

379
00:14:25,189 --> 00:14:22,000
for questions clara moskowitz space.com

380
00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:25,199
yeah hi this is a question for emily um

381
00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:27,680
can you talk a little bit about what the

382
00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:30,720
crew will be doing with the mrm1 module

383
00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:32,320
tomorrow i understand they'll be

384
00:14:36,150 --> 00:14:34,560
installing an air duct but if you could

385
00:14:37,430 --> 00:14:36,160
offer a few more details about that

386
00:14:39,189 --> 00:14:37,440
that'd be great

387
00:14:42,069 --> 00:14:39,199
certainly we'll start out with a leak

388
00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:42,079
check of the interface between mrm1 and

389
00:14:48,150 --> 00:14:45,360
the zarya module once we've

390
00:14:51,509 --> 00:14:48,160
confirmed that that interface is solid

391
00:14:54,150 --> 00:14:51,519
we'll open up the hatches and then

392
00:14:56,389 --> 00:14:54,160
all egg is going to sample the air and

393
00:14:58,710 --> 00:14:56,399
then put in an air filter and

394
00:15:00,790 --> 00:14:58,720
close the hatch back up or maybe not

395
00:15:02,310 --> 00:15:00,800
solidly closed but just close the volume

396
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:02,320
so that the air filter can do its thing

397
00:15:06,389 --> 00:15:04,480
for a number of hours

398
00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:06,399
then

399
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:08,000
they'll install

400
00:15:12,389 --> 00:15:10,480
as you said the

401
00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:12,399
the ductwork that allows for ventilation

402
00:15:17,829 --> 00:15:15,360
to flow from the zarya module into mrm1

403
00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:17,839
and back out again and that's the i

404
00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:19,440
think that most of what they're going to

405
00:15:22,470 --> 00:15:21,040
be doing tomorrow and then later in the

406
00:15:25,670 --> 00:15:22,480
mission they'll install

407
00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:25,680
some clamps one last set of

408
00:15:30,629 --> 00:15:28,160
structure to ensure a good physical mate

409
00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:30,639
between the module and the station then

410
00:15:33,189 --> 00:15:32,000
at the very end of the mission we'll

411
00:15:35,189 --> 00:15:33,199
start

412
00:15:37,189 --> 00:15:35,199
getting out the cargo carriers from

413
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:37,199
inside the moduling and

414
00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:39,920
and begin unpacking the module at least

415
00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:40,959
a little bit we don't have a lot of

416
00:15:45,430 --> 00:15:43,360
space inside the iss right now with six

417
00:15:47,430 --> 00:15:45,440
extra people in all of their luggage

418
00:15:49,189 --> 00:15:47,440
so we won't actually unload the module

419
00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:49,199
yet and it's full of us cargo so it's

420
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:51,040
destined for the space it's very busy

421
00:15:53,829 --> 00:15:52,560
right now but

422
00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:53,839
they're going to get started on

423
00:16:00,069 --> 00:15:55,360
organizing what's inside of it so that

424
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:02,150
thanks also you mentioned that the crew

425
00:16:05,509 --> 00:16:04,000
will be working on transfer activities

426
00:16:06,710 --> 00:16:05,519
in the morning i was just wondering sort

427
00:16:08,710 --> 00:16:06,720
of what kind of cargo they'll be

428
00:16:10,949 --> 00:16:08,720
transferring over

429
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:10,959
um let's see we've got

430
00:16:32,629 --> 00:16:12,399
a

431
00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:32,639
things

432
00:16:38,069 --> 00:16:33,519
some

433
00:16:40,389 --> 00:16:38,079
spare parts we've got

434
00:16:44,949 --> 00:16:40,399
some pieces of our regenerative life

435
00:16:48,949 --> 00:16:46,470
trying to think what other big items

436
00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:48,959
it's it's a lot of bags full of a lot of

437
00:16:54,550 --> 00:16:50,720
kind of the cats and dogs you need for

438
00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:54,560
six people living in space to be honest

439
00:16:58,310 --> 00:16:56,399
great thanks becca for me

440
00:17:01,269 --> 00:16:58,320
okay marcia dunn of the ap is next

441
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:01,279
marcia yes hello um i'm wondering if

442
00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:03,199
either of you were surprised to learn

443
00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:07,120
that that little green tie wire tie was

444
00:17:10,630 --> 00:17:08,880
was the culprit for all the hanging up

445
00:17:12,949 --> 00:17:10,640
of the um

446
00:17:15,750 --> 00:17:12,959
of the boom equipment on the end and was

447
00:17:17,590 --> 00:17:15,760
that wire tie meant to be there

448
00:17:19,909 --> 00:17:17,600
i wouldn't say that the wire tie that we

449
00:17:21,029 --> 00:17:19,919
saw moving around was the cause of the

450
00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:21,039
problem

451
00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:26,069
once steve pulled the cable out and then

452
00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:27,760
they started moving the unit around we

453
00:17:31,830 --> 00:17:29,440
found that

454
00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:31,840
that cable that was already installed

455
00:17:38,310 --> 00:17:33,919
and the cable that we in the tie that we

456
00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:39,990
not in locations that you would design

457
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:43,039
the system to be in but i i wouldn't say

458
00:17:47,029 --> 00:17:44,320
that that tie

459
00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:47,039
caused the problem no i i think it's it

460
00:17:51,590 --> 00:17:49,440
was definitely clear at least just from

461
00:17:52,950 --> 00:17:51,600
looking at it that that tie didn't cause

462
00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:52,960
the problem

463
00:17:56,310 --> 00:17:54,640
um because if you looked at the way

464
00:17:59,270 --> 00:17:56,320
those wires came out of that connector

465
00:18:01,270 --> 00:17:59,280
that where that one tie was coming from

466
00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:01,280
it it may have constrained the motion

467
00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:03,600
somewhat but what caused the initial

468
00:18:07,590 --> 00:18:05,600
problem was the wire that or the cable

469
00:18:08,710 --> 00:18:07,600
that we wire tied was actually wedged

470
00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:08,720
into

471
00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:11,280
a couple of stops hard stops on the

472
00:18:15,350 --> 00:18:12,840
rotation

473
00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:15,360
mechanism do you have any idea yet how

474
00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:17,760
that all happened to be what was the

475
00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:20,400
root cause of all this

476
00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:22,880
i haven't seen the results of any even

477
00:18:26,310 --> 00:18:24,960
preliminary investigations into that i

478
00:18:27,990 --> 00:18:26,320
know that folks are going back and

479
00:18:30,630 --> 00:18:28,000
looking at photos of the unit while it

480
00:18:32,390 --> 00:18:30,640
was still at the cape and they'll be

481
00:18:35,110 --> 00:18:32,400
looking to determine

482
00:18:37,029 --> 00:18:35,120
at what point in time

483
00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:37,039
the cable was in that configuration and

484
00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:38,720
then they can try to work backwards from

485
00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:41,120
there to determine how it got that way

486
00:18:46,390 --> 00:18:43,600
thanks a lot that's all

487
00:18:48,950 --> 00:18:46,400
okay mark kirkman up next

488
00:18:50,870 --> 00:18:48,960
hi mark kirkman interspace um i think

489
00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:50,880
i've got three questions all for emily

490
00:18:55,029 --> 00:18:52,480
uh first i'd like to follow up on

491
00:18:57,350 --> 00:18:55,039
clara's question about mrm ingress i saw

492
00:18:59,190 --> 00:18:57,360
a note earlier that oleg was preparing

493
00:19:00,870 --> 00:18:59,200
some protective gear or garments i was

494
00:19:03,430 --> 00:19:00,880
just wondering if you can explain uh

495
00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:03,440
what that entails absolutely anytime we

496
00:19:07,430 --> 00:19:04,880
ingress a new module whether it's a

497
00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:07,440
russian module us module or from any of

498
00:19:11,029 --> 00:19:08,240
our

499
00:19:11,830 --> 00:19:11,039
international partners in case there

500
00:19:13,750 --> 00:19:11,840
were

501
00:19:15,510 --> 00:19:13,760
bits and pieces of what we call fod

502
00:19:17,909 --> 00:19:15,520
foreign object debris that were in the

503
00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:17,919
module in the 1g environment and you

504
00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:19,840
didn't happen to catch them once of

505
00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:21,440
course you get to zero g then they're

506
00:19:25,110 --> 00:19:23,440
bouncing around all over the place so we

507
00:19:27,510 --> 00:19:25,120
take standard precautions every time we

508
00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:27,520
do an ingress to put on eye protection

509
00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:29,440
in some cases we'll put on a mask and

510
00:19:35,270 --> 00:19:32,559
it's really just to protect

511
00:19:37,190 --> 00:19:35,280
to protect the crew members from any

512
00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:37,200
flakes or

513
00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:39,600
even something as small as a screw or

514
00:19:44,470 --> 00:19:42,080
flakes of paint or or tape or any of the

515
00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:44,480
kind of things that you work with

516
00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:46,160
when you're building something

517
00:19:48,630 --> 00:19:47,200
and

518
00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:48,640
to prevent that kind of thing from

519
00:19:53,909 --> 00:19:50,480
getting in your eyes or

520
00:19:58,390 --> 00:19:56,150
um my next question is about the cold

521
00:19:59,669 --> 00:19:58,400
spare status of the antenna

522
00:20:00,870 --> 00:19:59,679
during the pre-flight early things i

523
00:20:03,430 --> 00:20:00,880
think you actually went into this but

524
00:20:05,190 --> 00:20:03,440
somehow i must have tuned you out

525
00:20:07,990 --> 00:20:05,200
what exactly do you mean by cold spare

526
00:20:09,510 --> 00:20:08,000
how cold is it in terms of how long does

527
00:20:11,270 --> 00:20:09,520
it take to get that antenna up and

528
00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:11,280
running if you need to and are you able

529
00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:13,440
to do any kind of functional checks of

530
00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:16,080
it before you put it in the spare status

531
00:20:20,149 --> 00:20:17,760
we will uh

532
00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:20,159
right now the configuration on the space

533
00:20:26,149 --> 00:20:23,200
station is such that the cabling inside

534
00:20:28,230 --> 00:20:26,159
the vehicle is not yet set up to allow

535
00:20:29,990 --> 00:20:28,240
the system to work fully those cables

536
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:30,000
will be installed here in the next

537
00:20:33,909 --> 00:20:32,000
several weeks after undock

538
00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:33,919
they're on a long list of activities

539
00:20:37,909 --> 00:20:36,240
that the expedition crews have to

540
00:20:40,230 --> 00:20:37,919
execute

541
00:20:43,029 --> 00:20:40,240
so what we mean by a cold backup is that

542
00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:43,039
you don't have a software functionality

543
00:20:47,590 --> 00:20:45,840
or in this case even connectivity to

544
00:20:49,270 --> 00:20:47,600
automatically fail over from one system

545
00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:49,280
to the next

546
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:51,360
in this case what we have to do is if we

547
00:20:54,149 --> 00:20:53,280
have a failure of our existing ku band

548
00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:54,159
system

549
00:20:59,270 --> 00:20:57,280
we would instruct the crew to disconnect

550
00:21:01,510 --> 00:20:59,280
some connectors inside the laboratory

551
00:21:03,110 --> 00:21:01,520
module move those over to some different

552
00:21:04,710 --> 00:21:03,120
points and and plug them into a

553
00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:04,720
different place and at that point we'd

554
00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:07,520
be able to activate the system so right

555
00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:10,080
now there is power and and data

556
00:21:14,950 --> 00:21:12,320
connectivity to the module or to the

557
00:21:17,750 --> 00:21:14,960
unit that we have confirmed we'd

558
00:21:19,350 --> 00:21:17,760
confirmed that after the first eva

559
00:21:21,669 --> 00:21:19,360
we do still have a couple of steps left

560
00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:21,679
to verify that the gimbals that you were

561
00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:23,360
able to gamble the dish and direct the

562
00:21:27,029 --> 00:21:25,280
dish as we

563
00:21:29,110 --> 00:21:27,039
as we desire we can do that in its

564
00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:29,120
current configuration then we'll do a

565
00:21:32,789 --> 00:21:31,200
full functional check out of the system

566
00:21:36,630 --> 00:21:32,799
this summer after we get those cables

567
00:21:40,390 --> 00:21:38,789
uh my next question uh just uh

568
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:40,400
want to know if you've learned anything

569
00:21:45,110 --> 00:21:43,679
more about the cnc dropout on monday

570
00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:45,120
do you still believe it was the cap

571
00:21:47,990 --> 00:21:46,880
removal or do you have another view of

572
00:21:50,630 --> 00:21:48,000
that now

573
00:21:53,430 --> 00:21:50,640
yes i think we're zeroing in that the

574
00:21:55,750 --> 00:21:53,440
cap was the issue

575
00:21:58,630 --> 00:21:55,760
i haven't actually myself seen the

576
00:22:01,029 --> 00:21:58,640
details of which bus exactly it was and

577
00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:01,039
how the computer software is designed to

578
00:22:06,070 --> 00:22:03,600
respond to that one or multiple buses

579
00:22:07,190 --> 00:22:06,080
that are flowing through the one cable

580
00:22:09,350 --> 00:22:07,200
um

581
00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:09,360
how the the loss of those buses would

582
00:22:14,630 --> 00:22:11,520
have caused it although in general if

583
00:22:16,149 --> 00:22:14,640
the command and control computer loses

584
00:22:18,149 --> 00:22:16,159
several buses and

585
00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:18,159
on a given bus you'll have several

586
00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:20,640
remote terminals several entities that

587
00:22:24,070 --> 00:22:23,200
it's communicating with on a on a data

588
00:22:25,750 --> 00:22:24,080
bus

589
00:22:27,590 --> 00:22:25,760
if it loses all everything off of a

590
00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:27,600
given bus then it knows that that bus

591
00:22:30,710 --> 00:22:29,760
has a problem if it loses multiple buses

592
00:22:32,390 --> 00:22:30,720
then it

593
00:22:34,149 --> 00:22:32,400
suspects that it has a problem and so

594
00:22:36,470 --> 00:22:34,159
then it will fail over so i think at

595
00:22:39,430 --> 00:22:36,480
this point we're we're thinking that

596
00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:39,440
there were several buses that got

597
00:22:44,789 --> 00:22:41,360
too many errors on them and that's what

598
00:22:45,909 --> 00:22:44,799
caused the mdm to fail

599
00:22:47,430 --> 00:22:45,919
all right that's all i have thank you

600
00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:47,440
very much for your time today all right

601
00:22:51,190 --> 00:22:50,000
thanks mark any questions back here i

602
00:22:52,390 --> 00:22:51,200
don't think we have any more questions

603
00:22:54,470 --> 00:22:52,400
so we'll close with a couple of

604
00:22:55,909 --> 00:22:54,480
