FD3 Docking, ELC3 Robotic Install
– Rendezvous, RPM & Docking
- Docking
– STORRM data collection during rendezvous, prox ops, and docking
– ELC3 unberth from the payload bay and install on P3 UCCAS-1
- SRMS Unberth > Handoff to SSRMS > Install
- Although lower priority than AMS, ELC-3 is installed first due to Orbiter EOM CG constraints
and any time deorbit capability
– Downlink of RPM photos via ISS assets
– N2/O2 transfer Init
– MT translate overnight (WS7→WS2)

Please note, this is interactive, but all posts need to be on topic. If you post images, no more than two per post.

The others are generally not called. They're computed onboard, the crew can see them, and the ground sees them on the downlist.

NCC prelim was DVX +0.25, DVY +0.73, DVZ -0.08. NCC intermediate was DVX +0.38, DVY +0.15, DVZ -0.73.

To follow the ELC-3 activities:

1. The unberthing of ELC-3 is described in the STS-134 PDRS document in the Flight Data Files.

2. The handoff and install of ELC-3 should be similar to the robotics on STS-129.  L2 subscribers should refer to the "RoboticsFS-ULF3" document.

Overview:
Both EMUs on Endeavour are in good shape.
All RNDZ tools and STORRM tools were checked out.

All ops through to docking was silky smooth. No anomalies.

Paused at 30 feet for minor alignment adjustment. No issues with mate.

Remainder of the work is ELC-3 robotic ops.

When Endeavour crew are sleeping, ISS crew will translate MT.

Notes docking camera was ok after a little trouble.

Great day in space.

Questions - can't really hear them.

Claire asking about Mark/Gabby.

FD Horlacher: Mark is performing very well, and is in touch with the ground.

Philip's there :) On the docking/mate alignment change.

FD Horlacher: In the past we've seen some motion. Some play inbetween them during soft dock. ISS is a big vehicle and the gravity is wanting to tilt down like a pendulum. After last flight we took a look at the impacts of motion. Made a minor change to the docking proc.

Can now continue driving hooks with a bit of misalignment. Today went so smooth we never had the gravity affect, so never got to test the change in proc, but confident it would have worked just fine.

Gina on Mark/Gabby.

FD Horlacher: All crew have personal touch with surgeons on the ground. Good support structure.

Gina on wacky sleep schedule (;D)

FD Horlacher: I wasn't affected by it. The overlap is different than we usually have in the past, but not significant.

Claire on STORRM actually being used during Docking.

FD Horlacher: Not integrated with Endeavour so not involved.

Philip again. On prelim STORRM data.

FD Horlacher: Went past the guys earlier. STORRM folks are really happy.

Marcia on AMS.

FD Horlacher: 16 countries involved, long time coming to get here. So they are very excited to get to orbit and about to be installed for the long term science. Expect good things from AMS.

Marcia on being bothered about all the focus on Gabby/Mark.

FD Horlacher: Public concentrate on what they want to. AMS is going to be around for a long time.

Todd on STORRM.

FD Horlacher: Being able to gain acquisition from 20,000 feet is very impressive. The technology behind it grows day by day. Improvements from the last 10+ years is very impressive. Looking forward to it being installed into a spacecraft.

Todd on current acquisition range.

FD Horlacher: Been using TCS for many years now. 6,000 to 10,000 feet and tracks all the way to docking. STORRM is two fold better from that standpoint. Further out the better on acquisition.

Will use the sensor information over the coming days to see what needs improving for the test at undocking.

Over.

Nice moment where Mr Horlacher missed a question, asked for it to be repeated and responded with "Ah yes, copy that". :)

L2 info notes that they have added a task to EVA3 to save science due to the launch slip. It's an Air Force payload so I doubt we'd ever hear regardless, but maybe when EVA3 comes around PAO will add some info.

There is only one handoff in this case.  Robotics designers would prefer not to have any handoffs, but ELC-3 had to be removed from the shuttle PLB by the SRMS.

ELC-3 is attached to the truss using a UCCAS.  For more information on the UCCAS see:

Just to update from L2. The RPM images show some small dings on Endeavour's belly. One is a *potential* FI candidate, we're told (starboard elevon), but don't get carried away, it'll probably be downgraded to cosmetic as DAT evaluate.

DAT are very methodical with TPS and overall she's very clean. Also, given so many of the recent flights have been very clean, even these very small dings find themselves highlighted. It's all a sign of how far they've come.

I'll include it in the next article I'll start shortly.

I've written up the next article (mainly about the Focused Inspection meeting taking place - by the way, they have that meeting for every mission), but want to wait for the MMT presser for important context.

She has seven dings on her belly, most very small and cosmetic, one on her inboard elevon being the one of interest.

Mr. Cain is in the building, but not in the briefing room yet, so may be a little late.

Edit: correction, in the room, probably a couple of minutes to set up.

Thanks Philip.

STS-134 are now about an hour into their sleep..........or they should be! I think it was Greg who just called down and got the "shouldn't you be asleep" response :)

Mr Cain:

Another spectacular day for Endeavour and crew.

Things have gone very well so far. Endeavour performing very well.

All RPM photos on the ground. Good bit of that assessment to complete yet.

WLE IDS - no reportable items during monitoring periods. Will be active during Soyuz undock.

RCC cleared WLE.

Making good progress on the SRBs. Expect to get video tomorrow.

Ascent quick look - vehicle performance was very very good.

Few very minor system issues, no mission impact.

More work will be required. We don't have any need for concerns or alarms. We have a FI placeholder on FD6, and we've taken it to the next level to not preclude being able to do that.

Overall the vehicle is very clean.

Will talk tomorrow about the Soyuz Flyabout. Shuttle MMT tomorrow afternoon will weigh in. Station MMT on Friday.

The team is doing great. Vehicle performance is very good.

Questions:

Philip on the TPS.

Mr Cain: The team is very good at this. We're very disiplined on the process so don't want to get ahead of ourselves. The three tiles are unique, different areas and specific function/capabilities.

Each damage areas is different and all play into the function of the tile. It gets pretty involved on their flows etc. Need to work on the depth and the thermal effects.

Until we do some more anaylsis, we may change our mind on which area is of greater interest.

Work will be done in the next 24/48 hours. 3D work, experts in photo lab will help us with dimensions. Thermal folk too.

Gina on historical database.

Mr Cain: We do have a large database. Heating is in the 1000s of degrees. We'll talk more about that at the meetings.

Claire on ET-122

Mr Cain: Not surprised ET-122 performed well. We knew what areas we could expect some foam losses from. Pretty much better than our expectations.

Bill on the TPS events.

Mr Cain: Not yet, not been able to map damage sites to ascent footage.

Bill on STS-118 event (Landing Gear door).

Mr Cain notes one of areas (not yellow) is the same tile (but a new tile) as previous damage area. More detail when they go forward.

Irene on change of command on ISS

Mr Cain: Question for Gerst.

On end of program:

Mr Cain: If you immersed yourself into the teams at Houston, you wouldn't know. During this entire process, they have maintained a very high level of dedication and integrity.

Notes how important this mission is. Dedicated and determined to finish strong. So far I think this mission is consistant with that.

On Mission Extension:

Mr Cain: Always a possibility. So far we're not looking at doing that, but we have a capability to do that.

Todd on TPS, "if it needs FI, repair or endanger the crew"

Mr Cain: Don't have enough data yet to know if we need a FI. This is not a cause for alarm. If we need more data, we have a plan and it's in the timeline to do that.

I don't want to speculate. I don't have any reason to do that at this time. Not fair on the team working on these assessments. I am not concerned and we're not alarmed. My confidence is in the very professional team, we've been through this before. We'll take it one day at a time.

I don't want to speculate on the other part of your question today (clearly did not like the crew endanger part of the question, Todd notes he understands).

Nice story about how many station elements were on the ground during RTF.

LeRoy Cain

Another spectacular day on orbit
R&D was flawless
ELC operations went very well
Vehicle continues to perform well

In MMT:
All RPM photos are on ground
WLE sensors - no items. Will be turned on again during Soyuz undock
Leading edge support system (RCC team) have looked at data and determined they have no regions of interest, so it’s cleared
Making good progress on SRB’s should have video this time tomorrow or earlier
Team did ascent quick look today, vehicle performance was very very good
Have a few minor systems issues, nothing that will impact mission

DAT
In processes of assessing areas
No reasons for concern or alarm
Have time for a FI on FD6 if needed
Overall vehicle is pretty clean

Wrapped up with a discussion of Soyuz undock plans
Talking to station MMT tomorrow morning about flyabout procedure and photography
Then will talk to the shuttle team in the afternoon
Will go back to station MMT on Friday (when there doing the standard undock go / no go poll)
 

Questions

Q: Is there any thermal clock that is critical to transfer of AMS. Or could it stay longer on the arm if necessary?

A: There is a clock but theres no real credible scenarios that would cause a concern. Have right actions in place if they get into robotics contingency


Q: What makes the 3 items you’ve shown a priority for assessment? (Phillip)

A: Team doing assessment is very through and disciplined and will stay with processes. Each tile is unique and very specific in terms of capabilities. Each damage area is unique in size and all of these things play into function of tile and if theres anything to be studied in terms of if theres anything of greater interest in one area or the net . Look at what happens aerodynamically thermodynamically and the overall interaction of one site to the next (what happens to the flow) take each one individually and then as a whole system. These areas we believe have a little more depth to the damage areas and or there in areas we have greater interest because of thermal effects. Until we do some more analysis we may change our mind on which areas are of greater interest. This work will be done in the next 24 / 48 hours. There’s some 3D analysis that will happen. Photo lab experts will do some analyse to look at dimensions. Aero and thermal will do work to see if they need more detail.


Q: Is damage similar to previous damage?

A: Premature to try and compare don’t know enough. Experts will look at it. Teams will leverage previous experience.


Q: What is heating on rentry ?

A: Different at different places.  In thousands of degrees.


Q: Given the history of the ET are you surprised Endeavour is so clean?

A: Not surprised. Did lots of work on the tank. Tank performance was outstanding. We knew what areas were likely to have some foam loss, this is the case.


Q: Time of impacts?

A: Don’t know yet. Will work on that


Q: Ding on starboard wing landing gear door looks similar to 118, you cleared this issue is there anything special on this area?

A: One of the white blocks on graphic was also damaged on 118. Don’t know enough about damage on landing gear door to talk any more about it


Q: Isn’t change of command on ISS meant to go American to Russian and vice versa, why isn’t it this time?

A: Doesn’t know need to ask station people


Q: Are you getting a sense of wrapping things up at the shuttle mission control?

A: During a mission you wouldn’t know anything was going on. It would be the same as going and sitting with them 10 years ago. This team needs to be heralded for maintaining high levels of professionalism and integrity. Dedication is unwavering. This is the same at all centres. Are dedicated and determined to finish strong.


Q: Any possibility of extending mission past 16 days?

A: Always a possibility. Try to take things from one day to the next. Can plug and play the days. Not looking at extending the mission at this point.


Q: Significance of the tile dings?

A: Haven’t done enough work yet to say if we need a FI. Are going to stay with processes to do the work. This is not cause for concern we know how to deal with these things. And if we need more data we have a plan for it and we know how to do it. Doesn’t want to speculate on risk to crew, wouldn’t be fair on team that are working hard on the assessments. The team is concerned by what they’ve seen. Are taking it one day at a time.


Q:  Describe what the wall of EVA’s looked like at the beginning of station assembly and now it’s nearly finished.

A:  Went to SSPF prior to RTF and it was full of station hardware. Made me think about the task in front of us. Most of the hardware in the SSPF involved one or more spacewalks to install. It seemed to be a daunting task. Since we’ve done one mission at a time and the station people have done a great job working with the shuttle teams. Looked at every possible contingency but they nearly all came off without a hitch. Spacewalking is one of the hardest things we do. Not surprised but makes me think about what we’ve done, it’s the result of a lot of hard work by a lot of people.


Q: Any discussion of using space walks to look at Endeavours tiles?

A: Not there yet. On Step 10 / 1000. FI is step 700. Doesn’t anticipate needing to go look at the tiles


Q: How difficult are the robotic operations tomorrow?

A: Not the most challenging we’ve ever done. Team go to a lot of effort to make sure there are points we can stop and evaluate. It’s a challenging operation any time you move large masses from shuttle to station there are a number of challenges. Like different camera views that are needed. It’s pretty involved and complex. This operation will be very exciting for the team and lots of folks around the world are interested in it.

Mr. Cain was nice enough to stay after for a little more informal Q&A and show us his copy of the L2 slides (kidding).

I asked again about possible common cause for the damage areas and he said it was unlikely, but it's possible that a single event caused more than one of them.

Thanks! Although I can't tell if you're joking or not on the article turnaround, because I noted on the other page I had already written it ahead of the presser :)

I held it until the MMT because I wanted to hear what Mr Cain had to say for context. Imagine if I had run an article about TPS damage and potential Focused Inspections, only for Mr Cain to say they would be clearing the damage by the end of the night. I'd look a bit of a muppet, but more importantly we really pride ourselves on accuracy here.

Clearly the FI angle was correct, so put it on after the presser.

Well, he did; in answering a subsequent question during the briefing he noted that they hadn't "matched" the different tile areas to ascent debris events.

But then after the briefing, the discussion kind of went that way, so I asked again. :)
