LIVE: STS-117 Flight Day 2 - Inspection Day

[Chris Bergin]

Live update pages for the whole of FD2.

FD02 – OBSS and RNDZ Prep
• RNDZ Burns - NC-2 and NC-3 rendezvous burns are planned to allow adequate time for
RMS surveys using OBSS. NPC is not scheduled since it will likely be combined with one of
the other two burns this day.
• Maneuvers - Prior to crew sleep, the CDR will future load the maneuver for the FD03 simo
dump. The maneuver starts after crew wakeup on FD03.
• OBSS Surveys - Starboard wing, nose cap, and port wing.

Best of Luck!

I hope we'll get some decent wake-up songs this mission

On the OMS Pod, what have we seen historically like this before?

[Fred Clausen]

Crew wakeup scheduled for 0908 eastern.

Fred Clausen - 9/6/2007  9:06 AM

Crew wakeup scheduled for 0908 eastern.

Rev A of the TV schedule is out and wake up is on there 30 minutes later...I thought I heard PAO talking about 9:08 Central...I'm sure we'll get another status on that after the FD1 highlights replay concludes.

[Fred Clausen]

Was it 9:08 central?  We'll blame it on the lack of coffee when I heard the PAO talking about the time

[Chris Bergin]

30 minutes to wake up from this point.

For TV schedule watchers, PAO (Pat Ryan) just noted that Rev. B is "imminent" with some tweaks to the end of rendezvous sequence (RPM, etc.)

[Chris Bergin]

Large amount of hi res ascent images with debris events on L2.

For the ongoing with the OMS damage (small version I know) this is not initially thought to be the cause (Tyvek cover).

[jmjawors]

Wake up call!  The day officially begins for the crew.

Not into country music.  Anyone know what this song is?

[Chris Bergin]

Yeeee haawww "I like Big Boy's Toys"

Song for CJ..wife and kids selection on the song.

OBSS unberth at Noon Central. So we've got a while to go before inspections.

Does anyone have the FD2 execute package?

[Ford Mustang]

Would this pose an immediate threat to the landing of this crew?  I mean, STS-1 had more wrong with her, and she landed fine.
