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.
Actually, Mike Suffedini 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...

Yep, quoted him as he said it, as we do with all MSBs. I remember transcribing that as he said it....though we all know TRAD is for 125, like the LAR is, as a "doubt it'll be ever needed' - noted 126 as that was the orginal idea before the gouge on Endeavour/118.

Wasn't it stated that they want to get it done before sts-125? Honestly, that is the only time that the T-rad is really needed, if any other time the crew would just go to ISS. I know we have the LON shuttle, however with ISS we dont risk a crew with the same problem, and can simply soyuz them home. (allot of soyuz, but it can happen)

And of course the issues with the starboard SARJ are also going to be fighting for already allocated docked time on these upcoming missions.

When are they planning on undockign with the OBSS still out there attached to the Shuttle arm or will they get it stowed back in the bay before then? I guess they could undock with it out there but I'd wonder about stress concerns as they manuver after undocking. The Nasa TV schedule show not show them berthing the OBSS until late Monday after the inspection is done.

Maybe it wasn't planned for this mission, but it's been done before on STS-121 at least.

The RMS/OBSS is certified for loads during undocking, flyaround, and separation burns up to 1.0 fps. To accommodate separation with the OBSS unstowed, the SEP-2 burn has been reduced from 1.5 to 1.0 fps.

Looks like they are getting some stuff ready to either go home or stay on Station

Thanks for the landing times Robert. Does anyone have the ground-tracks for entry or are those unavailable for the next couple of days?

According to Rob Navias at today's MSB, they're still in work. They're usually available some 48 to 24 hours before landing.

Note the transfer message, page 30

:laugh:

So I get item 900, what is item 901? I don't think we have the transfer list update file, even on L2?

I thought 900 and 901 were Clay Anderson and Daniel Tani.

Ahh! That makes sense. Stow 900 on the Shuttle, and transfer 901 to the Station. :-)

I missed the PAO event to do some translation. I'll try to watch replays on Sky Italia and sum it up, or maybe we will have a replay on NTV with translation later.

Thanks Dave. I'll keep an eye out for them. I'm hoping for a pass over North Texas so I can see her come home. If that indeed happens, I'll grab a buddy and we'll get video and pictures for you guys.

Clay: Trying to maximize my time in space.. Pursue a record or something.

He will be missed.

Ford Mustang · « **Reply #99 on:** 11/04/2007 05:29 pm »

Discovery: I believe we're done with the checklist of transfer items, except for Clay and Dan.

MCC-H: Yes, we've been following.. You're all done. We're hoping that Clay and Dan help you.. in respect to their proper sides.
