SSRMS to ungrapple from the PDGF on Destiny.

Attitude control of the complex currently belongs to Discovery, in preparation for a maneuver to attitude for a waste water dump.

Once Discovery has maneuvered back to the normal docked position, attitude control will be handed to the CMGs on the ISS, using a new procedure designed to minimize problems if the Russian computers happen to fail - as was the case during STS-117.

Found a big error in the STS-120 Gallery

It says Zamka's in Columbia!

The spacewalkers are moving into the crew lock portion of Quest.

I'd like to hear his explanation of how he got there!

May she rest in peace....

SSRMS has now ungrappled from Destiny in order to support the movement of P6 later today.

Closing the hatch to the crew lock.

EDIT: My 100th post! :cool:

SSRMS on the move to P6 pre-grapple position.

generic_handle_42 · « **Reply #48 on:** 10/28/2007 07:53 am »

Crew lock depress procedures in works.

generic_handle_42 · « **Reply #49 on:** 10/28/2007 07:54 am »

SSRMS seems to be in pre-grapple position for P6. Depress procedures continuing.

8 Psi

generic_handle_42 · « **Reply #51 on:** 10/28/2007 07:58 am »

Now 7psi.

generic_handle_42 · « **Reply #52 on:** 10/28/2007 08:00 am »

6 psi... will pause at 5 for suit leak checks.

generic_handle_42 · « **Reply #53 on:** 10/28/2007 08:06 am »

Now paused at around 3 psi until attitude control is handed from Discovery to the CMGs.

generic_handle_42 · « **Reply #54 on:** 10/28/2007 08:12 am »

2.0 psi.

Jokes from the spacewalkers about being ahead of the timeline. :laugh:

Crew lock being depressed slower than normal, so as not to affect the attitude control handover.

SSRMS has grappled P6.

Handover is complete. Russian computers were bypassed.

generic_handle_42 · « **Reply #56 on:** 10/28/2007 08:23 am »

Depress is resuming. Through 1 psi.

generic_handle_42 · « **Reply #57 on:** 10/28/2007 08:27 am »

0.8 psi

generic_handle_42 · « **Reply #58 on:** 10/28/2007 08:31 am »

Good view of the SSRMS grappled to P6.

generic_handle_42 · « **Reply #59 on:** 10/28/2007 08:32 am »

Apparently the hatch is open, would be nice if we could see it on NASA TV...
