I'll miss Clay.

If PAO is to be believed there will be a full fly-around tomorrow. And MSB coming up in 5 minutes.

As I wrote, before the extension, cryo was at: EGIL - cryo margins 1d19h (no SSPTS), 3d7h (SSPTS). So I don't see why they couldn't do a full flyaround, based on that.

Chris, I think the concern was propellant not cryos.

2,020lbs heading back with Discovery in the middeck.

31,814lb added to ISS (including Node 2 etc).

Confirms the OBSS sensors are all ok (that really is something!)

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #67 on:** 11/04/2007 03:41 pm »

Didn't say it, but pretty much confirms it's a full flyaround.

Sorry, should have said consumables..but the above is the determining factor? I can go after RCS tankage etc.

Basically, the LCS is having problems on the OBSS, but they are using Sensor Package 1 for the Late Inspection, so isn't required.

Great followup question about the OBSS, drilling in on the semantics!

What was the concern about not doing the nominal flyaround? I didn't hear anything about increased prop usage (given that the station has been holding attitude most of the time).

IIRC, the last time they shortened the flyaround wasn't due to prop margins, but time constraints specific to that mission.

They don't win any prizes for being days behind being aware of it being an issue.

Because of station keeping, when the Russian computers went haywire if I recall.

That's great news, I've been scouring the threads here to see how that turned out. Didn't want to ask and be OT.

It is nine, by the way

on the WLE.

"All within family" (note that the one which is three times the maximum ever observed, is below the 5.0 GRMS which I believe is when they start worrying about RCC damage/holes).

Too soon to know where the TRad DTO will be pushed to. Probably will go back to STS-126 if you ask me, as it was orginally.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #78 on:** 11/04/2007 03:55 pm »

And that's the MSB done. Decent questions, asked all that needed to be asked, which is rare. Rob Navias even got his calculator out for the question from Todd H.

Actually, Mike Suffredini said at one of the pressers recently that they wanted it done before the HST servicing mission, but I don't know that I'd seen that called out in anything you've posted...
