BCC Checkout: MCC-Houston will perform a BCC (Backup Control Center) checkout today at 4:30pm-5:30pm EDT. The TDRS (Tracking & Data Relay Satellite) forward link will “swing” from MCC-H to the BCC in Huntsville, with a brief voice check on S-band from the BCC Capcom.
BRI Smart Switch Router Failure: Yesterday, the Russian Smart Switch Router (BRI) failed to connect OpsLAN (Operations Local Area Network) to the SSCs (Station Support Computers) in the RS (Russian Segment) which prevented such info as radiograms, OCA messages and OSTPV (Onboard Short Term Plan Viewer) to be seen in the SM. TsUP & MCC-H set up alternate connectivity between RS and USOS (US Segment) via the WAP (Wireless Access Point; Russian: ABP) in the SM, which re-established good comm. Meanwhile, the BRI is under investigation.
View of DEXTRE:
Robotics Operations: Without crew involvement, ground engineers today performed Part 1 of a two-day robotics operation, remotely controlling the SSRMS (Space Station Remote Maneuvering System) to grapple the SPDM (Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator) Dextre, releasing it from the MBS PDGF2 (Mobile Service System Power & Data Grapple Fixture 2) and maneuvering it to an overnight park position. Tomorrow, the SSRMS will stow Dextre on the Lab PDGF, grapple Node-2, complete an inchworm-like “walk-off” and maneuver to 2J/A docking position.
