Hi,<br /><br />I was wondering why Atlantis cannot connect to the ISS power system and I had to register myself here to ask the question: <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />http://techluver.com/2007/11/25/astronauts-hooks-up-module-in-lengthy-spacewalk/<br /><br />The last chapter of above document:<br /><br />"That decision to even attempt a fix will be largely dependent on how much power Atlantis uses on the flight to the station. Unlike the other two shuttles — Discovery and Endeavour — Atlantis cannot plug into the space station’s power system and must rely only on the power stored in its fuel cells, limiting its time in space." <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
