EVA
o EVA2 Overivew - the primary objective of EVA2 is to replace the Nitrogen Tank
Assembly (NTA) located in the P1 Truss. The current NTA needs to be replaced
because the N2 is running low. The new NTA is removed from the payload bay
and temporarily stowed on CETA cart zenith. The old NTA is removed from P1
and is temporarily stowed on CETA cart nadir. The new NTA is then installed on
P1, and the old NTA is moved from its CETA cart and stowed on ICC-L for return
home.The new NTA is retrieved from the PLB and installed in the truss; the old
NTA is returned to the PLB for return to Earth. There is a 50 minute SSPTS cable
routing activity at the end of the EVA.

o PLT is the IV crew member for EVA2.
o EVA crew members are MS2 (EV1 - on SSRMS) Walheim and MS3 (EV2 - free
floater) Schlegel.
o CDR performs P/TV07 for EVA2 viewing.
o CDR and ISS CDR assist with Suit-up IV activities.

o TRRJ Acts: the EVA crew will be working close to the Port TRRJ so the TRRJ
will be parked (ETCS-LPB TRRJ-LOCK @ 1330). the NTA will be activated
during the EVA (ETCS-NTA-ACT @ 2042) and the TRRJ will go back to auto
track after the EVA (ETCS-LPB TRRJ-AUTO @ 2300)

o Station to Shuttle Power Transfer System (SSPTS) Cable Routing - Although
Atlantis is a non-SSPTS vehicle, SSPTS cable routing is performed on PMA-2 to
allow the Node 2 docking mechanism to be SSPTS capable.

o PLT is the IV crew member for EVA2 and will assist the EVA crewmembers with
their activities.
o EVA crew members are MS2 (EV1) Walheim and MS3 (EV2) Schlegel.
o CDR performs P/TV07 for EVA2 viewing. CDR and ISS CDR assist with pre and
post EVA activities.

o EMU-BSA RCHRG-TERM: (EMU-T) terminates the BSA battery charging started
by MS1 on FD05
o BSA INIT
o P/TV-EVA IMAGE-D/L: (D/L EVA IMAGE DOWNLINK) ISS CDR will put the
card from the EVA camera in an ISS SSC for dowlink via ISS OCA.

• Robotics Activities
o The SSRMS is used to support the EVA activities. MS1 & MS4 are the SSRMS
IVA support crewmembers.

o Before the EVA begins, during the campout EVA prep timeframe, MS1 & MS4
maneuver the RMS to the EVA2 viewing position. At the end of the EVA, the
RMS is maneuvered back to the Columbus viewing position.

When seeing video from the Shuttle flight deck, what's the line scrolling across the screen? Some sort of interference?

Could it be the KU issue noted by the MMT presentation? I'm guessing, but you might be able to join up those dots.

No, it shows in every mission. It was asked before, in 117 or 118 I think, and I think someone working with the orbiter said it was some kind of "barcode" for the video... but I may be remembering things the wrong way here.

In any case, it's been there since RTF, at least.
