From yesterday.

So there's no way of knowing? (no sensors etc?) It just isn't something where any contact was enough to be visible?

What would be a sensor that could detect this?

MCC decided to attach electrical cables to a grounding strap as this will give best clearance from the Mobile Transporter (MT) rails based on Ron's feedback.

The complex is starting to pass northeast over the Gulf of Mexico, on this pass, the complex will pass over Georgia in 4 minutes, and up the East Coast of the US. 6 minutes to East handover, 24 minutes to sunset.

Mike starting re-torqueing of spare NTA securing bolts (to lower setting than before)

Ron breaking torque on old NTA securing bolts

All four securing bolts on the spare NTA have been secured!

Teams on the ground want to take a look at the port SARJ, and want to make sure that it is clean (if they are able to) today.

Currently both EVAer are limited to ~6hr 55mins duration on METOX (CO2 absorbers).

Thinking of sending Mike over to to remove failed ETVCG (External TV Camera Group) and maybe Ron over to Port SARJ inspection get-ahead

sts1canada · « **Reply #153 on:** 06/05/2008 07:51 pm »

Both EVAers are METOXed limited to 6:55, MCC-H wants to end the EVA at 6:30, current PET is 4:44

Mike will be going over to the P1 truss to replace a failing camera package, while Ron works on finishing the pre NTA replace tasks.

19 minutes to the ZOE, 7 minutes to sunset. Complex passing over the northern coast of France.

"I don't think I'll have to go to the gym today.."

"Yeah, we can skip a workout. We've got one here!"

Ron and Mike referring to the torquing of the bolts.

3 minutes to sunset, 15 minutes to the ZOE, complex passing southeast over Italy.

Gloves are good. No problems. No additional changes.

AnalogMan · « **Reply #157 on:** 06/05/2008 07:57 pm »

Mike given go ahead to translate to failed camera - no tether swap required.

sts1canada · « **Reply #158 on:** 06/05/2008 08:01 pm »

PET now 4:55

11 minutes to the ZOE, expect loss of some KU soon, one of the telltale sign before KU loss is S-band stills as we approach the ZOE, this ZOE pass is about 12 minutes long, complex is passing over Saudi Arabia.

I think Ron may not have been able to break torque on all the failed NTA securing bolts, so will retrieve torque multiplier from Mike to aid him.
