"We're treating the situation that there are hot wires on the panel" which is why they will conduct a full inspection prior to the repair itself.

Dina Contella:

"The big picture really hasn't changed, it's now just the fine details."

"Boom tip will be on P1. Scott will take off his overgloves after installing foot restraint.

"Wheel's will be at the mast canister. He might work anywhere along the truss to help with the clearances."

Scott will be a few feet away from the array. He'll lean in and out when near the array.

"We'll get up close and personal with the snag" before evaluating how to proceed.

Clufflink number 3 will be first. Installing into the center. Then clear the snagged wire.

Scott will use the hockey stick to touch the array. This is an insulated tool.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #129 on:** 11/02/2007 06:13 pm »

One of the gripping tools is a Russian device (Dyno cutters). Used to grip the wire.

don't expect alot of movement when the snag is cleared

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #131 on:** 11/02/2007 06:15 pm »

Once the snag is cleared. Scott will trim the hinge. Then install the rest of the clufflinks (1,2,4,5)

Scott's in for one hell of a ride tomorrow.

I hope he gets some good pictures

Potential deploy whilst Scott is out there. Half a bay at the time.

If the snag does not clear. Cut the guidewire. Go to the base of the array. Tape over snagged area (to keep it all in one place). Clip the lower reel. Wheels will control the intake.

Fun note for you all, but Startracker picked up an unidentified light source (no joke), so looks like this EVA has alien interest.

getting on OBSS will be alot of manual robo work

Andy_Small · « **Reply #138 on:** 11/02/2007 06:31 pm »

don't have good clearance views or lighting

during tag up told crew to go slow and use wheels as a resource nd if lighting isn't good just wait for good lighting

P6 is the priority that can be fixed now. SARJ has too many variables to it

so that's why they are doing P6
