1 00:00:05,110 --> 00:00:03,350 good afternoon and welcome to nasa's 2 00:00:07,909 --> 00:00:05,120 johnson space center this is the mission 3 00:00:09,750 --> 00:00:07,919 status briefing for the sts-132 flight 4 00:00:11,589 --> 00:00:09,760 on flight day 10 which featured the 5 00:00:13,589 --> 00:00:11,599 undocking of the space shuttles from the 6 00:00:15,509 --> 00:00:13,599 international space station to give us 7 00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:15,519 the status of today's activities we have 8 00:00:19,349 --> 00:00:17,039 the mission operations representative 9 00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:19,359 from mission control brian lenny i'll 10 00:00:23,189 --> 00:00:20,640 turn it over to brian for opening 11 00:00:25,189 --> 00:00:23,199 comments and then we'll take questions 12 00:00:26,710 --> 00:00:25,199 okay thank you kylie well things are 13 00:00:28,710 --> 00:00:26,720 going really well in space we've had a 14 00:00:30,950 --> 00:00:28,720 really great day in space so far also 15 00:00:33,670 --> 00:00:30,960 had a really great docked mission 16 00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:33,680 with the undocking today we had just to 17 00:00:37,590 --> 00:00:35,040 wrap up some of these things we had 18 00:00:39,670 --> 00:00:37,600 three very successful avas as you know 19 00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:39,680 all six of the new p6 batteries were all 20 00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:41,360 online and doing really well performing 21 00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:42,559 normally 22 00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:45,360 all the plan transfer has been completed 23 00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:47,200 uh including the mini research module 24 00:00:49,350 --> 00:00:48,000 which i'll go ahead and give you the 25 00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:49,360 numbers because i think some folks will 26 00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:53,760 ask which weighed about 17 670 pounds 27 00:00:57,189 --> 00:00:55,360 that is activated and is looking like 28 00:00:59,670 --> 00:00:57,199 it's in really good shape the cargo 29 00:01:02,869 --> 00:00:59,680 pilot was transferred over of course 30 00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:02,879 going up it had about 7 500 32 pounds at 31 00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:05,920 7 532 pounds coming down 32 00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:07,200 we brought it back and put it in payload 33 00:01:11,910 --> 00:01:10,080 bay of course it's going to have 6 466 34 00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:11,920 pounds so with just the batteries on 35 00:01:14,789 --> 00:01:13,520 there it lost about a thousand pounds 36 00:01:17,109 --> 00:01:14,799 give or take 37 00:01:20,950 --> 00:01:17,119 the mid deck transfer we transferred 38 00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:20,960 about 1 325 pounds of water to iss 39 00:01:27,109 --> 00:01:22,880 in addition for cargo we transferred 40 00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:27,119 about 2 192 pounds to the iss and on the 41 00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:29,119 way back the shuttle is bringing home 42 00:01:34,469 --> 00:01:30,200 about 43 00:01:36,870 --> 00:01:34,479 1763 pounds of station cargo 44 00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:36,880 undock occurred today at 10 22 local 45 00:01:41,429 --> 00:01:39,040 time and the final separation burn was 46 00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:41,439 complete about 1205. 47 00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:42,960 everything was nominal is a beautiful 48 00:01:46,469 --> 00:01:44,960 fly around performed by our pilot tony 49 00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:46,479 antonelli 50 00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:47,759 prior to undock 51 00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:49,280 there were some call downs from the crew 52 00:01:52,550 --> 00:01:50,560 that the space shuttle lights that 53 00:01:55,590 --> 00:01:52,560 illuminate the docking target 54 00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:55,600 for undocking would not work so the crew 55 00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,000 tried some troubleshooting with that had 56 00:02:02,550 --> 00:02:00,079 no success so they went ahead attached a 57 00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:02,560 flashlight to the area that was 58 00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:04,000 illuminating the target for them and 59 00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:05,360 that worked really well 60 00:02:08,869 --> 00:02:07,200 so that little ifm worked well and we're 61 00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:08,879 glad the crew was able to take care of 62 00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:10,239 that for us 63 00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:12,160 sunday undocking was accomplished with 64 00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:14,400 no issues it was very clean 65 00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:15,840 of course tomorrow is late inspection 66 00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:17,520 day and all that will be executed with 67 00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:20,480 the nominal procedures followed by the 68 00:02:23,990 --> 00:02:22,080 flight day 12 which will be our standard 69 00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:24,000 entry minus one day 70 00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:25,760 check out of all the entry systems and 71 00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,760 then of course we're going to have a 72 00:02:31,670 --> 00:02:29,280 hopefully landing successful landing 73 00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:31,680 there at ksc weather allowing on 74 00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:32,959 wednesday 75 00:02:37,509 --> 00:02:34,879 the iss is returning to normal ops with 76 00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:37,519 the undocking the expedition 23 crew of 77 00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:40,560 oleg kotov tj creamer and soichinoguchi 78 00:02:44,949 --> 00:02:43,280 are prepping for a turn on june 1st 79 00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:44,959 return prep does include a few extra 80 00:02:49,430 --> 00:02:47,519 things packing a little extra exercise 81 00:02:51,589 --> 00:02:49,440 for them a little extra prep time for 82 00:02:53,430 --> 00:02:51,599 them to get ready for the soyuz landing 83 00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:53,440 um in addition i understand there's an 84 00:02:57,830 --> 00:02:55,840 iss d boost of about .8 meters per 85 00:02:59,509 --> 00:02:57,840 second planned in a couple of days and 86 00:03:02,550 --> 00:02:59,519 that'll set up the landing targeting for 87 00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:02,560 the soyuz 88 00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:04,720 and finally also the oxygen generation 89 00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:07,120 assembly that shut down the other day 90 00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:08,640 they have not done any troubleshooting 91 00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:10,480 on that since then we'll pick up with 92 00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:11,920 some troubleshooting with that tomorrow 93 00:03:14,390 --> 00:03:13,680 and discussions here on the ground and 94 00:03:17,110 --> 00:03:14,400 then 95 00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:17,120 probably do some troubleshooting tuesday 96 00:03:21,509 --> 00:03:19,519 right now the early early indications 97 00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:21,519 are it's probably a pressure transducer 98 00:03:24,630 --> 00:03:23,120 but folks are going to look at that if 99 00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:24,640 that's what it is we do have that spare 100 00:03:29,190 --> 00:03:26,640 part on board and can do a replacement 101 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:29,200 if necessary 102 00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:31,280 i think that's all i got if i'm ready to 103 00:03:36,869 --> 00:03:34,400 take questions okay we'll start here 104 00:03:38,390 --> 00:03:36,879 hi robert perlman with collectspace.com 105 00:03:40,229 --> 00:03:38,400 um 106 00:03:41,670 --> 00:03:40,239 with regards to oxygen and there was a 107 00:03:44,149 --> 00:03:41,680 problem yesterday with transferring 108 00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:44,159 oxygen from the shuttle to the station 109 00:03:48,149 --> 00:03:45,680 is that related and was that resolved 110 00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:48,159 before they undocked it i think that 111 00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:49,519 when the mission status briefing 112 00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:50,959 occurred yesterday there was about 20 113 00:03:56,309 --> 00:03:53,519 pounds of oxygen out of the 70 that they 114 00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:56,319 wanted to transfer over we did transfer 115 00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:57,840 all the oxygen that we had planned to 116 00:04:01,429 --> 00:03:59,599 transfer to space station some of it 117 00:04:03,509 --> 00:04:01,439 went directly into their iss high 118 00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:03,519 pressure oxygen tanks and some of it was 119 00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:05,280 transferred directly into the stack 120 00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:06,400 atmosphere 121 00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:08,480 about 40 pounds was pushed into the 122 00:04:12,229 --> 00:04:10,640 tanks and the balance of that 70 pounds 123 00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:12,239 so about 30 pounds was pushed into the 124 00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:15,599 atmosphere as part of a planned transfer 125 00:04:19,030 --> 00:04:16,720 as far as 126 00:04:21,270 --> 00:04:19,040 related to the oga problem that there 127 00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:21,280 were no issues with the oxygen transfer 128 00:04:24,710 --> 00:04:22,800 and there would not be any association 129 00:04:26,469 --> 00:04:24,720 between the two things 130 00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:26,479 the oxygen transfer into the station was 131 00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:28,720 all nominal and it takes a little bit of 132 00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:30,160 time you have to start and stop as the 133 00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:32,080 tanks the pressure within the tanks and 134 00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:33,759 the temperatures in the tanks recover 135 00:04:39,350 --> 00:04:35,280 during the transfer but it was all 136 00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:41,590 and a follow-up there was a call soon 137 00:04:45,189 --> 00:04:43,759 after um i guess after separate the 138 00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:45,199 separation burns 139 00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:47,759 that um there was a accidental deletion 140 00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:50,560 of 138 images uh did you ever find out 141 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:52,800 what was on that card and um presumably 142 00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:54,479 you can recover it 143 00:04:59,510 --> 00:04:56,479 after it gets down to the ground 144 00:05:02,070 --> 00:04:59,520 uh yes during after sep uh 145 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:02,080 we we did we were doing our regular oca 146 00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:03,680 transfers or downlinking of all the 147 00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:05,680 pictures from the shuttle that the folks 148 00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:07,199 on the shuttle had taken of the space 149 00:05:11,189 --> 00:05:08,560 station as we flew around at the 150 00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:11,199 external survey so when the crew puts 151 00:05:14,710 --> 00:05:13,120 the camera card into the laptop and the 152 00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:14,720 folks here on the ground go to downlink 153 00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:16,560 those pictures they have a procedure and 154 00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:18,320 process they go through and we downlink 155 00:05:22,150 --> 00:05:20,560 thousands of pictures every flight as it 156 00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:22,160 turned out in this case there was a 157 00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:23,919 mistake on the ground that occurred and 158 00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:26,880 we did accidentally delete 138 pictures 159 00:05:31,350 --> 00:05:28,639 those were pictures again of the iss 160 00:05:33,350 --> 00:05:31,360 external survey there were another 40 or 161 00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:33,360 so pictures on that particular card of 162 00:05:37,749 --> 00:05:35,360 the survey that were successfully 163 00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:37,759 downlinked and we have another couple of 164 00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:40,720 cards with 250 pictures each that we i 165 00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:41,840 don't know what's in them yet we haven't 166 00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:44,400 gotten uh uh ku ops to be able to look 167 00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:46,160 at those so we may have more pictures 168 00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:48,400 available to us of the external survey 169 00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:50,560 of the 138 that did get deleted we did 170 00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:52,479 ask the crew to take the camera card to 171 00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,560 bag it stole it bring it back to houston 172 00:05:58,469 --> 00:05:56,160 and hopefully we can recover those 173 00:06:00,309 --> 00:05:58,479 picture files from that card 174 00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:00,319 even though they were told to be deleted 175 00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:06,550 with that i will computer to our 176 00:06:10,550 --> 00:06:08,319 reporters on the line first bill harwood 177 00:06:13,029 --> 00:06:10,560 please 178 00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:13,039 uh yeah hi brian can you give us a 179 00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:14,160 little sense of what the weather is 180 00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:15,520 looking like i realize it's three days 181 00:06:18,830 --> 00:06:17,440 out but uh the forecast looked a little 182 00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:18,840 iffy to me 183 00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:21,520 thanks uh bill i have not looked closely 184 00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:24,000 at the weather it's florida uh

there's a low pressure 188 00:06:34,390 --> 00:06:32,720 that's hundreds of miles out into the 189 00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:34,400 atlantic and we don't think that's going 190 00:06:38,070 --> 00:06:36,560 to play too much but again we're four to 191 00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,080 five days out 192 00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:40,240 get my numbers right four days out so 193 00:06:43,909 -->

00:07:45,520 some of the resolution wasn't quite as 223 00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:47,120 close as we would have liked and we're 224 00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:48,479 going to get that with tomorrow's 225
