Mission: STS-120 - 23rd International Space Station Flight (10A) -
U.S. Node 2
Vehicle: Discovery (OV-103)
Location: Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 3
Launch Date: Targeted for Oct. 20, 2007
Launch Pad: 39A
Crew: Melroy, Zamka, Parazynski, Wheelock, Wilson, Nespoli and Tani
Inclination/Orbit Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles

In Orbiter Processing Facility bay No. 3, water spray boiler system
servicing and checkout continues. Wire tray closeouts in the midbody
are ongoing and cargo bay closeouts are under way. The forward
reaction control system will be delivered to the facility's bay No. 3
today and installed next week. Functional testing on all three fuel
cells is complete. Inspections of the main propulsion system flow
liners are finished.

Great pictures Anik. Thanks :cool:

I see, in the photo of the pilot in his seat in the shuttle simulator, that the simulator still has the original cockpit configuration. How do they train for the new cockpit displays, the Multifunction Electronics Display System (MEDS)?

In Orbiter Processing Facility bay No. 3, technicians have installed
the orbiter's remote manipulator system, also known as the shuttle
arm, or RMS. Checkout and servicing of water spray boiler No. 1 is
complete. The forward reaction control system was installed this
week.

What's Peggy Whitson doing there? Is she just familarising herself with the Node for her Expedition 16 flight?

First time I've looked in this thread. I like the photo that anik posted on 31/3/07, when the guys are inside the node 2, there are arrows pointing to the JEM and COL. It looks like they are printed onto the walls, so will these stay on, or will they be taken off before flight.

I like those photos too. It's nice to see the inside of the module, because it's acually quite big compared to Unity...

There are all kinds of markings in the nodes:

those are for onorbit. Ground crews would have no use for those decals

I take it they've already taken off the one that says CAM at the top...

The picture you are referring to is from the simulator in building 9 and is used primarily for strap-in and familiarization exercises. The MEDS training is done with the simulators in building 5.

It was a fam tour. A lot of times, when an assigned crew is going to see the hardware, other folks will join the crew for a tour. If you consider how much work is involved with stopping the regular KSC work for the astronauts to stop by and get a fam visit, you'd think it wise to lump as many astros together for a tour.

A view of the commander in her seat. Notice the STS-115 handbook just to the right of the joystick in this shot...
