NTV Schedule:
-
An hour to wake up, NTV reviewing highlights of yesterday, including the accent banter with Piers and the lovely comments between Mike L and Commander Ken on Atlantis coming out of the hold.
Shame PAO couldn't drop the PC handbook with the "it" at launch, especially as that's probably the only 10 seconds that ever makes the main news channels. Little things make ALL the difference.
-
And we're back off replays.
-
-
Wake up for Ken.

-
Crew reports a printer problem. Troubleshooting now.
-
why don't we print the execute package for them? oh wait..nevermind.
-
Crew saying formatting is messed up on the document only printing on top half of the page
1st page is fine
Page 2-4, only right hand side printed, left hand side is blank
-
Over 50mb of downloaded hi res ET photography into L2. Tank looks very clean :) One or two items of interest, but very clean.
-
FD2 execute package has been posted: http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/454279main_FD02.pdf
-
Orbit 1 team on console and they are still having some printer problem.
-
Orbit one shift now on console, still no joy on the printer
-
Lead Shift now on console.
-
NC2 burn delayed 10 minutes so that a separate planar burn does not have to happen
-
1 day 4 hours of cryo margins due to on time launch
-
Garrett setup to downlink minicam footage (forward window view of launch)
-
Ok, here's a really noob question, but what does -ZLV -XVV stands for, from the attached image of Chris' first post?
-
working interconnect from OMS to RCS in work
-
No imu star of opportunity align not needed today, Scorch talking about what can be done early
-
Going to manually print out pages, needed to clean heads a few times and something seemed to be wrong with the flight day file but now working, think it was all corrupted but now working
-
Garrett setup to downlink minicam footage (forward window view of launch)

-
Ok, here's a really noob question, but what does -ZLV -XVV stands for, from the attached image of Chris' first post?
That refers to the attitude of the ship. -ZLV -XVV means that the aft is facing into the direction of travel and the payload bay towards earth.
-XVV = -x pointing into the velocity vector (vv)
-
Doing OMS pod survey (another L2 grab hopefully)
-
found the transfer book
-
-
The FD2 execute package is up:

-
calling up PAD for NC2 burn
-
14 hours from need for DAM, delaying decision till closer time about 11 hours, no adjusting burn plan for orbiter today but will tomorrow, lighting will only be affected by about 30 seconds
-
Hey Garrett!
-
good config for the NC2 burn, Bravo on the DAP
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbX42uyq5V8
-
getting ready to change to inspection attitude
Edit: PAO used the right name for the RPM, R-Bar Pitch maneuver yay!
-
working EMU check out,setting up for survey
-
looks like tdrss handover
-
waiting to press for maneuver to attitude
-
OBSS has been grappled and released from its latches
-
OBSS lifted
-
waiting on 15 minute timer on PDRS
-
working LDRI activation, mode 3 video was dark but modes 1 and two were good, houston thinks they are in a good config
-
still troubleshooting mode 3, working with the imagery folks
-
SSV updates, looks alot better now, pressing through all the modes
-
EV crew working comm checks
-
go to maneuver to inspection attitude, both EV comm checks loud and clear
-
Boom in motion, going to look at the t-0 umbilical first, KU in 3 minutes
-
trying to get focused, numbers are weird right now
-
KU returns! t-0 umbilical, looks good and no ice, pan and tilt numbers are all over the place
-
some amazing views of the MPS, and OMS pod
-
Makes a change having Ku, doesn't it! :)
Going to write them up, but the opening shift and ascent reports on L2 suggest Atlantis was almost showing off. Performed like a superstar.
-
Recommending a pan and tilt reset to fix numbers, cant really get any further right now to the right or the left image is good for recording but near hard stop, one minute to TDRSS handover
-
-
-
stopping recording
-
Going to do a pan tilt reset, even though getting a great view of the Earth, think gimbal on the OBSS is messing up (cue BSG)
-
Great views of the Amazon river!
Orbiter
-
off the Coast of South America:
-
'I'll continue blaming Piers' heh, funny crew.
OBSS Cam tilting around now.
Orbiter
-
think gimbal on the OBSS is messing up (cue BSG), also resett wont get them back to 0 on all
-
trying reset again
-
They found the orbiter! still having issues with the hard stop
-
at hard stop on two axis, thinking about moving arm so that they can see the sensor package
-
went right all the way, tilting down to see structure, no joy, going to stay where at to discuss, might use sensor package 2 and not do any pan-tilt
-
I'm looking for my copy of the detailed timeline. How much of a hit have we taken so far?
-
trying to correct with wrist roll
-
taking time with maneuver, have 41 inches of clearance
-
I'm looking for my copy of the detailed timeline. How much of a hit have we taken so far?
They would be well into the STBD wing survey by now usually. At least half way through it. About 1.5 hours down on timeline for this activity.
-
cameras delta, charlie, and elbow can see the end now
-
getting pictures, if they do not resolve quickly will just use package 2
-
going to watch the pan and tilt, 2 minutes to TDRSS handover
-
pan and tilt worked going right, went down and then stopped, numbers and movement stopped, did not see anything hanging up but not in daylight so cannot see cables, going to try to use the high intensity light
-
-
Maneuver plan, want to preserve thermal clock on ICC-VLD, still want to troubleshoot sensor package in daylight
-
Maneuvering, good comm/suit data from EV1, 15 minute hold till sunlight, going to do cryo heater sensor check, fuel cell purge are going to be done now to buy some time later
-
cryo heater sensor check complete, going on to fuel cell purge
-
Going to wait for daylight and Ku and then see if can do the scans as-is. Plan B is to go to sensor package 2. Ku available in less than 10 minutes.
-
fuel cell purge complete, waiting on bake out, Tony will get a 20 minute break as they trouble shoot OBSS
-
Ah, they can now see a cable pinched that's causing the problems. Crew thinks they can pan their way out and then tilt.
EDIT: on second thought, maybe not.
-
Further words, crew is going to send down 400mm stills of the sensor package.
-
Tony does not think they can get out of the pinch
Scorch: "Come on man, we believe in you"
does not look like they can get out of it
-
KU finally returns
-
-
-
can see a dent in the cable
-
fuel cell heaters to GPC
-
animation of the limits
-
moving arm
-
going brakes on, Houston working on plan right now
-
PAO talking about the plan forward. Possibly going to use LI procedure to save time by skipping some non-critical areas.
Sensor Package 2 is also an option, but can only gather data during daylight on package 2.
Also have option to do some scans after docking.
****************
Looks like INCO and FAO are earning their pay today.
-
-
CAPCOM with the plan:
Going to use Sensor Package 2. Desirable to gather data in daylight. Can possibly press into orbital sunset depending on which panel they are on. MCC-H will make the call in real-time.
Will use the streamlined LI procedure.
-
going to move back to starboard survey attitude
35 minutes to sunrise
-
-
Wouldn't it be relatively easy to fix this cable issue during one of the EVA's? Then they could do the late inspection normally.
-
10 minutes to get camera views, Commander Ham says that it is better that they do not get it
Scorch: some people say I never get it
-
I was told discussion about ISS DAM is continuing between MCC-M and MCC-H. If DAM will be needed, then Progress M-05M cargo ship will fire four DPO engines at 01:08 UTC tomorrow. The duration of de-boost maneuver will be 352 seconds.

Thanks for the words on the potential ISS DAM. I was wondering what the latest was.
-
maneuvering to inspection attitude
-
Going to kick the scan off right at orbital sunrise. Crew will be ready to go as soon as the sun comes up.
-
Discussing plan with OBSS, will come up with illumination on night pass, ready to kick off at sunset, will be an hour and 15 minute scan, sill be partially in nighttime
-
...and here comes the sun. MCC-H is GO.
-
sunlight is being visible, moving arm
-
one minute to TDRSS handover
-
Any word on if the PTU issue will impact OBSS boom stow?
-
Bueno go to terminate EV suit battery charge
-
Getting started with the starboard wing survey about 3 hours late. Will also take longer to complete using Sensor Package 2. Crew already did some items from later in the timeline to help.
-
-
Orbit 2 controllers beginning the handover from the Orbit 1 team.
-
-
Trying to catch up time.
"Being hard to push the ropes so we don't miss the daylight".
-
want to load nosecap survey, do not think they can get to attitude by next daylight
-
moving to nosecap survey attitude, two minutes to TDRSS handover
-
moving to nosecap survey
-
middeck transfer prep complete
-
middeck transfer prep complete
MS2 will move into PBA (Portable Breathing Apparatus) prep next.
-
About 26 minutes until orbital sunrise. Crew can crank the IDC no sooner that 5 minutes prior.
-
MSB coming up at 1300 CDT (1800 GMT). Orbit 1 FD Mike Sarafin will brief.
MMT meets at the same time. LeRoy Cain will do the post-MMT press briefing, currently targeted for 1500 CDT (2000 GMT).
-
want to complete nosecap survey and part of wing in next two passes, nosecap should take an hour, will get hot or underside section of the wing, wont do top of the RCC
-
going to do center line camera install as well as APAS ring extension, 7 minutes and 30 seconds to sunrise
-
ready for high resolution, starting arm movement
-
Coming up on orbital sunrise. Let's see how far they can press on this daylight pass.
-
CAPCOM advised that the NC3 burn can slip up to 45 minutes if need be. Charlie Hobaugh signing off. He'll be the Entry CAPCOM.
-
Switching shifts
-
-
MSB now at 2:15 ET
-
To pre-empt, I'll transcribe the MSB and post-MMTs.
-
-
is it me, or is the tile dented here?
-
MCC-H ready for docking mech initialization, powerup, docking ring extension, and powerdown.
-
centerline camera is installed, going to power up ODS, extend ring, and then power down
-
cross hairs on the nose cap, their placement was derived from SEADS, an experiment that was installed on Columbia's nosecap RCC.
-
-
passing off the east coast of the United states, right along the path she took uphill
-
nosecap survey complete, moving to port wing, ODS ring is being extended
-
EVA Prep and the ODS activities completed. That leaves RNDZ Tools C/O still to go.

-
MSB stating.
-
Mike: Some days are easier than others, and today we have some difficulties. (DAM and OBSS).
On pan/tilt unit - couldn't gimbal the camera and sensors to the required angles. Deterimed we ran into a snag with the gimbal system. Can't move the primary camera fully up, so gone to a secondary mode - DC hard mounted to the boom.
Standard review process with DAT.
On the conjunction the debris has an eliptical orbit. We know it's there, but don't know the source. Will come close an hour after docking tomorrow. Deved a path to do a DAM if required, or proceed as planned. Deterimation to lower ISS will be made later today. Will occur 8:07 Central if required. Have tracking on the object, it's on the 10 km threshold.
Still have forward work ahead of us. Checked out EMUs, and the SAFERS. All fine.
-
Questions.
Mike: We use the LDRI on the Pan/Tilt unit. Hi res camera being used, but does not provide all the coverage. Didn't get the T-0 umbilicals and OMS Pod today, so will use the RPM for that. Will determine what gaps we have in the coverage.
It's a mixed bag, we have more coverage with the planned camera, but it's still high resolution with the camera we're now using.
On FI:
Mike: FD5 reserved, late on that day we have 1.5 hours reserved. Too early to tell if we need to go through that path. Still need to review the ascent images, today's data and RPM tomorrow.
-
-
How big is the debris?
Mike: Don't have that info, but it's big enough to track. Don't know size or origin.
How did the snag occur?
Mike: Too early to tell, routed in a way it's snagging on the back of the camera. Don't know if it was prior to launch or during when the cable got into this config. Spent two orbits trying to troubleshoot and get the snag free, but had no luck with that. Have lots of time to solve this problem.
Will get all the port wing maybe via images taken from ISS on approach, or FI. We'll see what coverage we get.
EVA option?
Mike: We do need to discuss what to do with late inspections. There's a lot of MMOD up there we need to manage. Primary is to use the sensors and cameras on the end of the Pan/Tilt Unit. Whether we need to do a spacewalk or leave it alone is yet to be determined. Probably would not be before EVA-2 if we took that option.
-
More on DAM:
Miss distance is right on the edge at 10km. Complicating factor on the DAM is when the shuttle docks with the ISS it takes some amount of time to hardmate the vehicles. Takes a finite amount of time to get into docked attitude - 15 to 45 minutes, so cutting it close if we can dock, structurally mated and then into attitude relative to the DAM. We can't get confident we'd be able to do that after docking, so folks decided it was best to DAM first and alter shuttle's approach.
With some of these objects up there everything is moving fast. Just a small error could make a big difference. A couple of seconds at that speed could mean you miss by a huge amount of distance or very little.
Inspections:
The team is a world class team, we've got some of the best engineers on the planet supporting Atlantis. I'm confident given a bit of time we'll get what we need and clear her for coming home. Give it a couple of days and we'll (have a plan).
On OBSS history:
RTF time in schedule and budget meant we gained a number of imaging sensors. We used all the sensors during RTF to test the systems and LDRI has its own illumination source and we decided that was the best to get the entire heatsheild inspected without impacting the crew day as we can use it day and night.
The DC can only be used during daylight. With the pan/tilt issue we couldn't even use the LDRI illumination source. So half the day is not available to us to scan the heatsheild. Also the LDRI uses streaming video so we can use that in real time, as opposed to DC which takes snap shots, and we have to be careful to avoid gaps in the coverage.
STS-114/STS-121 held the tests that resulted in us using LDRI.
-
Question: "Have you seen damage yet"
Mike: Didn't see anything that was obvious. Let the imagery folks review the data.
DAM again:
Mike: (IF) We're going to change where station is in the sky, which is something we don't do for a shuttle mission. This is unique if we change where the Station is. The difference of the burns will be by a couple of minutes and duration.
OBSS stow:
Mike: Will be able to stow the boom normally, three attach points and they are not related to the problem area. Will be able to stow that no problem.
RPM:
Talking about adding a third crewmember for extra images during the RPM. Normal scan patten includes nose on images as well as top side. We gather some images of the tail end, as she goes through a full 360 degree backflip. Concentrates on lower surfaces. Edge on views are good for gap filler images, so we'll get good imagery and we'll wait for the right light to help. We'll probably have an additional 800mm camera for images on the port wing.
DAM:
Primary plan is to use the Russian Progress propulsion. Already organized with the Russians pending the decision in the next couple of hours.
Presser over.

Howdy all ... I just read through this thread, thanks Ron and Chris B. for the transcribes. Has anyone heard news of SRB status? I'm hoping to catch them entering through the locks. Also does anyone know what radio frequency the ships use?
Edit: thanks Chris B, I'll check the viewing thread. It's tough with the mobile data network troubles here at KSC.

-
Ok, so post MMT presser next. I'll transcribe, though I'm expecting we might get a lot of natural repeats from the MSB (which was a good one - lots of good info).
Still a bit early for the DAM decision I'm thinking.
Atlantis has no issues as a vehicle. Ascent is very clean per ET.
Will see where we stand in a few hours and get a post FD2 and pre-FD3 article finished up.
-
go to berth

Does someone here have an understanding of the location of the "pinch" on the sensor system cable. When looking at the lower picture by Ronsmytheiii above (Reply #160 - sts132_2010-05-15-15h47m11s146.jpg), are we looking at two cables coming out of the round fitting in the center, or is there just one cable which is "pinched" at that round fitting?
Thank you.
-
MSB on, with LeRoy

LeRoy: Flawless launch and ascent. Orbiter has been performing exceptionally well.
At the MMT we talked about the inspection system we use to look at Atlantis' TPS (LeRoy gives a 101 on the OBSS). They downmoded to the IDC (Digital Camera) which is part of the flight rules.
We were not able to get the port wing completed today. We will complete the inspections once docked to the ISS, working a forward plan on that proceedure and where it fits into the timeline.
On DAM: There's a plan to do a DAM tonight, if they decide they need it. Working vectors and miss distance. 8-9pm Central if they elect to carry out the DAM. Will deterime the state vectors tonight if DAM is taken. Really not an issue, just a topic of discussion.
Orbiter performing very well. All prop elements look very good - prelim. Entire STS vehicle was very, very good.
-
Thank you.
THANK YOU...
The red arrow makes it obvious to me now.
-
Question on inspections:
Won't use the OBSS docked, options include it, but we can complete it with the SRMS and EE camera. We know from previous experience that we can get the scans and imagery of that entire port wing as it's on the same side as the SRMS. It's a bit simplier in terms of logitisically. It's one of the options.
DAM:
Every debris avoidance case is a little bit different. They spend a good amount of time in LEO, but sometimes highly eliptical. When trying to compare the state vectors between object and ISS can have pertivations (nice word). We track them as long as we can, and make a decision as late as we can. We NASA don't track the objects, we're made aware by other entities.
You want to take as much time as you can before you manuever. I couldn't say for sure which is the driving factor.
-
Philip's there!
We have a NH Burn scheduled for 4am local time. Our flight rules say the ISS should manuever eight hours before that burn. ISS has to feather the arrays and other systems they have to modify for the DAM. So they need to decide two revs before the burn - decision time is 5pm tonight based on that.
Based on the latest it's scheduling towards the area of goodness. Red to Yello. We've moved more from the yellow to green stage. They'll make a decision based on all the data in a couple of hours.
-

Robert's asked for you.
LeRoy: Plan is to do slip operations on Monday. Open assessment on Tuesday.
More on DAM:
Thrusters on the Progress will be used. It'll be a joint MCC-M, MCC-H effort.

This place will practically make nasa.gov redundant soon anyway! ;D
-
LeRoy: Ascent video the ET performance looked very good as did the other prop elements. Did see some debris items, and a few areas on the ET video. Couple of days for the assessment.
On DAM:
No details on the object. If the crew is still up they will be informed on the decision. ISS will likely be in pre-sleep.
On SRMS EE use for Port Wing:
LeRoy: This is what we've looked at since RTF. No issue with min requirements. We're looking at hi res from cameras on station during RPM, but that would be the icing on the cake.
Presser over.
-
OBSS has been berthed
-
Conjunction Alert: A potential conjunction with an unidentified piece of orbital debris (Object # 87761) approximately one hour after docking is under investigation by US & Russian teams but should have little impact on rendezvous plans. [Teams are considering a small, ISS-only, retrograde DAM (Debris Avoidance Maneuver) of 0.5 m/s delta-V (burn duration ~5 min 51s), which – if required – would be performed at approximately 9:08pm EDT tonight (retrograde being beneficial for Soyuz 21S landing options next month and also preferable over posigrade for the Shuttle rendezvous). The nominal Shuttle maneuvers tomorrow will control the Shuttle trajectory along a nominal rendezvous profile whether the ISS DAM is performed or not. Should the DAM be performed, subsequent events including the RPM start window will shift earlier by 30 seconds due to a shift in sun lighting. Final Go/NoGo for the DAM is at approximately 6:00pm EDT tonight.]

What's all this talk about embargoed video?
Over the past week or more, Greg has been sending down various HD recordings of his time on station. He has requested personal copies of all of them for himself (ie DVD to be made on the ground). Some he requested labels such as "Work X" or "Activity X", where X is 1~18, e.g. SPHERES experiments and other activities. Others have been labeled "Personal X"; these have been the ones he asked to be "embargoed" (ie not available for NTV).

Usually one for the viewing thread, but we don't know yet. If it's not mentioned at the post-MMT we'll see it documented before long and will note it.
Robert's asked for you.
LeRoy: Plan is to do slip operations on Monday. Open assessment on Tuesday.
More on DAM:
Thrusters on the Progress will be used. It'll be a joint MCC-M, MCC-H effort.
What was the answer on the SRB Recovery Question I thought I heard Tuesday but I haven't seen anything else about it.
Thanks

The answer was "LeRoy: Plan is to do slip operations on Monday. Open assessment on Tuesday." - So arrival in port Monday, pull the boosters out and check them over on Tuesday. Robert Pearlman of collectSPACE.com asked the question.

You are a search legend Retired Downrange! ;D Sounds like it'll be something along those lines then!
Embargoed MPS downlink? If MPS meant engines in this context then it could be ITAR'd engine telemetry etc etc...
(A lot of the SSME data is hush hush).

Assuming they said or meant MPC -- i.e., based on the post that Retired Downrange found, sounds like it's personal/private HD video the crew shot, maybe for their friends and family...

MPS/ITAR -- that sounds intereting. Although still a headscratcher ... video?
FYI for those who don't know, MPC is part of the shuttle video processing chain, multi purpose converter or something like that. I've got a hardcopy of one of those PDFs at home :)
Thanks for the SRB info; I'll copy over to the viewing thread now if it's not already there. I'm momentarily spoiled by a functional internet connection and a real computer. I'll also use that to see if I can dig up the ship radio frequency(ies).

I'm told the video was nothing interesting at all. A personal message, nothing else.

Okay these are a little late but here they are. We got some pics at the launch pad on L-1 with our tribute t-shirts on. Many thanks to Ben Cooper for snapping these for us :)
