From ISS On-Orbit Status Report for 26/08/2010:TVIS Update:After the Russian crewmembers this morning obtained video of the original anomaly and also removed the raised belt slat, they found a small bolt under the slat – the cause of the buckling and noise. The original troubleshooting plan was to remove 3 slats and weld nuts and then to conduct an overall inspection of the tread belt, chassis, and chassis components. Now that the root cause of the noise is known, ground teams are meeting to optimize the remaining work that must be performed. TVIS troubleshooting is expected to continue tomorrow.
