The shuttle crews are in the Russian service module for safety breathing after entering the space station. What is the safety breathing? Think there is no air pressure variation between shuttle and the station.

That's safety briefing. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />They go over the emegency procedures, even though they all know them, just so the information is fresh in their mind. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

WRT shuttle maintenance crews;<br /><br />Obviously, S_G's right, he knows his <expletive />. But to kind of compare it, its similar to a Navy squadron, or an airline maintaining their aircraft. There's a certain one each person favors, and (we've had this debate before) each vehicle has its own personality; qualities, temperment, willingness to cooperate, etc. Since Endeavour's a little newer, she might have great structual qualities, like parts fitting with no issue at all, but a PITA with its avionics for some reason, whereas Discovery or Atlantis, being a little older, might have issues with hydraulics, or maybe avionics. The maintenance guys have their favorites, I'm sure. <br /><br />An example from experience; we had a plane in my (DC-9) squadron that I perferred, but it's personality was such that it's APU was problematic, even when a new one was installed. Some "ships" are just picky.<br /><br />We continue with your regularly scheduled thread. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
BUNO 159458: Diamondback 104. To hell with that pig. I spent 6 weeks re-wiring the back seat of that POS. Then there was BUNO 162702: Diamondback 102. Ahhh, she was sweet.<br /><br />Sorry, I am dating myself. LOL<br /><br />Respectfully,<br />Rocket Scientist 327
If ive read the Flight Plan correct, the P6 arrays are deployed after the end of the EVA?<br /><br />If they arrays become stuck, can they go out and manually help deploy them?
If they get stuck, a EVA member will give them a shake, rattle and roll (them in and out, commanded from within the ISS or ground). IIRC they have found that if that rotate them back and forth while rolling in and out, they don't seem to stick. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------- </p><p>Wanna see this site looking like the old SDC uplink?</p><p>Go here to see how: <strong>SDC Eye saver </strong> </p> </div>
The only thing I have seen about it says that if the wires get stuck again they will probably have a tougher problem than last time because they won't be able to get very far out along the array to jiggle grommets.<br /><blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p>Last December, attempts to stow the folding blankets making up one side of the P6 array ran into problems when several of the slats making up the blankets folded the wrong way along their creases. The astronauts ultimately were successful and engineers don't anticipate major problems re-extending the arrays.<br /><br />They'd better be right. The station's robot arm will be fully extended just to attach P6 to P5. It will not have the reach necessary to position a spacewalker beyond the lowest few feet of the huge arrays if any major problems are encountered.<p><hr /></p></p></blockquote> <br />http://spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts120/071021preview/<br /><br />My guess is that the mechanism that extends the mast can probably pull the cables harder than the take-up mechanism could wind them in when the array was being retracted. It will be fun to watch!<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
At the MMT Briefing today they said they dont think they will have to do focused inspections, although not all data has been analysed yet.<br /><br />Also a cover (im sure their is a proper space term for it) to protect Harmony from any MMOD has popped open, so they will asked one of the crew tomorrow during the EVA to close it again
duct tape and safety wire. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
Safetey wire is fine, 316 SS, duct tape would have to have space rated adhesive, too much outgassing. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
I just heard an interview on NASA TV with ISS Flight Director Heather Rarick. I think she said it is a cover for a window. It is held on by velcro and snaps. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
Found a list of satellites that are current orbiting earth, didnt know there was so many. Does the ISS or Shuttle crew ever see these satellites?
I'd be interested in seeing that list <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

The ISS+Discovery+Harmony flew overhead today evening at 6:30 PM. It looked kinda bigger than before with the naked eye.
i wish the weather would break and give MeteorWayne and I a chance to see the pair fly over. we have had two really good viewing opportunities, but both were obscured by dihydrogen monoxide vapor. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /> <br /><br />edit: "oh, hello houston!" <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
Its cloudy here too. Would love to see the ISS / Discovery & Comet Holmes, but the<br />dihydrogen monoxide layer is prevalent here too. <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /><br /><br />Bloody nuisance really.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

glove damage..did i hear one of them say "EVA off", meaning they're done due to the damage? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
Didnt hear but looks like they're still working. Should be over anyway soon as they started earlier than planned
I just started watching the live feed. No idea whats going on but it sure is cool to watch. Have they done the live feed for all the missions?
Hi usn_skwerl,<br /><br />Just checked, there does not appear to be anything wrong, all seems to be going<br />smoothly. <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.
