STORY WRITTEN FOR & USED WITH PERMISSIONPosted: November 25, 2008Engineers began testing the space station’s right-side solar array rotary joint today to find out if the damaged 10-foot-wide drive gear at the heart of the mechanism is rolling with less vibration and friction after spacewalking work by the Endeavour astronauts to install new bearings and lubrication. While engineers will spend weeks evaluating the test data, officials said telemetry showed lower motor currents, indicating reduced friction and smoother operation.The space station is equipped with two SARJ mechanisms on either side of its main solar power truss. The joints are designed to rotate outboard solar arrays to keep them face-on to the sun as the station goes around the planet.Engineers first noticed problems with the starboard SARJ last year when sensors measured increased vibration levels and power usage in the drive motor. Inspections by spacewalking astronauts later showed one of the gear’s three bearing races was heavily damaged, apparently because of a lubrication breakdown that generated extensive metallic contamination.One of the 12 trundle bearings that grip the gear was replaced last June to help engineers troubleshoot the problem. During parts of four spacewalks, the Endeavour astronauts replaced the other 11 bearing assemblies, cleaned off the metallic debris and re-lubricated all three races.Going into the flight, station managers said the outer canted bearing race was too damaged to permit resumption of around-the-clock auto-track operations. But engineers hoped the cleaning and re-lubrication would lower vibration and friction levels enough to permit periodic operations to boost power when needed.Officials said a realtime assessment of telemetry showed the joint was, in fact, operating more smoothly than it did before the repair work, indicating the spacewalks may have accomplished the objective. But it will take several weeks of data analysis before engineers develop a plan for using the starboard SARJ on a more regular basis.Inside the station, meanwhile, the newly installed urine processor assembly continues to operate after work Monday to mount the unit’s centrifuge and distillation assembly more firmly to its mounting rack. Flight controllers ran the unit for more than five hours late Monday and after a three-hour cool-down period, restarted it again today. The plan is to let the processor operate all day to collect additional performance data and process additional samples.The astronauts also plan to hook up and activate a new potable water dispenser later today that is tied into the Destiny lab module’s potable water bus. Engineers want to bring down samples from the water recovery system racks and from the dispenser to test water quality. More than three months of tests are required before NASA wll be clear to boost station crew size from three to six next year.Additional details about the SARJ operation and the water recycling system troubleshooting are expected at today’s mission status briefing at 3:30 p.m.Here is an updated timeline of today’s activity (in EST and mission elapsed time; includes revision K of the NASA television schedule):EST……..DD…HH…MM…EVENT11/25/0808:55 AM…10…13…00…Crew wakeup10:25 AM…10…14…30…ISS daily planning conference11:10 AM…10…15…15…Potable water bus vent/fill11:10 AM…10…15…15…Water recovery rack UPA troubleshooting12:20 PM…10…16…25…Post-EVA spacesuit transfer and reconfig12:35 PM…10…16…40…Potable water dispenser activation03:30 PM…10…19…35…Mission status briefing on NASA TV04:05 PM…10…20…10…Joint crew meal05:05 PM…10…21…10…PAO event05:25 PM…10…21…30…Node 2 CBM/CPA install08:10 PM…11…00…15…Configure MPLM racks09:00 PM…11…01…05…Evening planning conference11:25 PM…11…03…30…ISS crew sleep begins11:55 PM…11…04…00…STS crew sleep begins11/26/0812:00 AM…11…04…05…Flight day 12 highlights07:30 AM…11…11…35…Flight director update07:55 AM…11…12…00…Crew wakeupAdditional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:MONDAY’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:NEW EXTERNAL TV CAMERA MOUNTED TO STATION VIDEO:FINISHING THE STARBOARD SARJ CLEANING VIDEO:PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ON PORT SARJ VIDEO:KIMBROUGH FLOATS OUT OF THE AIRLOCK VIDEO:MONDAY MORNING FLIGHT DIRECTOR INTERVIEW VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 10 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:SUNDAY’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:INTERVIEWS WITH CREW BY ABC, CBS AND NBC NEWS VIDEO:SUNDAY MORNING FLIGHT DIRECTOR INTERVIEW VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 9 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:SATURDAY’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:LAST OF OLD BEARINGS REMOVED FROM SARJ VIDEO:BOWEN INSTALLS ANOTHER BEARING ASSEMBLY VIDEO:SARJ CLEANING TECHNIQUES TO REMOVE CONTAMINATION VIDEO:PIPER USES GREASE GUNS ON THE SARJ VIDEO:NEW TRUNDLE BEARING ASSEMBLY INSTALLED VIDEO:SPACEWALKING DUO GETS TO WORK VIDEO:SPACEWALK NO. 3 BEGINS VIDEO:WALKTHROUGH OF SPACEWALK NO. 3 PLAN VIDEO:SATURDAY MORNING FLIGHT DIRECTOR INTERVIEW VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 8 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:FRIDAY’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:JOINT CREW IN-FLIGHT NEWS CONFERENCE VIDEO:FRIDAY MORNING FLIGHT DIRECTOR INTERVIEW VIDEO:PROTON ROCKET ROLLS OUT TO THE PAD VIDEO:LAUNCH OF THE ZARYA CONTROL MODULE VIDEO:POST-LAUNCH COMMENTS BY NASA AND RSA VIDEO:SHUTTLE AND STATION COMMANDERS MARK ANNIVERSARY VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 7 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:THURSDAY’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON STATION’S ARM VIDEO:SPACEWALKERS PULL SECOND RAIL CART FREE VIDEO:FIRST CART REMOVED FROM STATION RAILS VIDEO:THURSDAY MORNING FLIGHT DIRECTOR INTERVIEW VIDEO:WALKTHROUGH OF SPACEWALK NO. 2 PLAN VIDEO:FLIGHT DIRECTOR’S SUMMARY OF FLIGHT DAY 7 VIDEO:VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 6 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:WEDNESDAY’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:AP, MINNEAPOLIS AND BOSTON INTERVIEWS WITH CREW VIDEO:WEDNESDAY MORNING FLIGHT DIRECTOR INTERVIEW VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 5 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:RIDE ALONG WITH ASTRONAUTS “RACK-CAM” VIDEO:COMBUSTION SCIENCE HARDWARE MOVED INTO STATION VIDEO:AIRLOCK CAMCORDER FOOTAGE AFTER SPACEWALK VIDEO:TUESDAY’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:EVA NO. 1 CONCLUDES VIDEO:SOLAR ALPHA ROTARY JOINT REPAIRS BEGIN VIDEO:TOOL BAG ACCIDENTALLY FLOATS AWAY VIDEO:GREASE GUN SPILL MAKES MESS IN TOOL CARRIER VIDEO:SPARE FLEX HOSE COUPLER DELIVERED TO STATION VIDEO:EMPTY NITROGEN TANK MOVED FROM STATION TO SHUTTLE VIDEO:TUESDAY MORNING FLIGHT DIRECTOR INTERVIEW VIDEO:SHOW-AND-TELL OF SOLAR ALPHA ROTARY JOINT WORK VIDEO:WALKTHROUGH OF SPACEWALK NO. 1 PLAN VIDEO:NARRATED ANIMATION OF SPACEWALK SWAPOUT VIDEO:FLIGHT DIRECTOR’S SUMMARY OF FLIGHT DAY 5 VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 4 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:CREW OPENS HATCH AND ENTERS LEONARDO VIDEO:ATLANTA AND BOSTON TV STATIONS INTERVIEW CREW VIDEO:MONDAY’S MISSION MANAGEMENT TEAM UPDATE VIDEO:MONDAY’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:LEONARDO MODULE SUCCESSFULLY MOUNTED TO STATION VIDEO:MONDAY MORNING FLIGHT DIRECTOR INTERVIEW VIDEO:PREVIEW ANIMATION OF LEONARDO MODULE ATTACHMENT VIDEO:SUMMARY OF CARGO BEING DELIVERED TO SPACE STATION VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 3 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:SUNDAY’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:SHUTTLE CREW WELCOMED ABOARD STATION VIDEO:SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR DOCKS TO SPACE STATION VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR PERFORMS THE 360-DEGREE BACKFLIP VIDEO:VIEWS OF THE SHUTTLE APPROACHING FROM BELOW VIDEO:FLIGHT DIRECTOR’S SUMMARY OF FLIGHT DAY 3 VIDEO:PREVIEW ANIMATION OF RENDEZVOUS AND DOCKING VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 2 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:SATURDAY’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:SATURDAY’S MISSION MANAGEMENT TEAM UPDATE VIDEO:FLIGHT DIRECTOR’S SUMMARY OF FLIGHT DAY 2 VIDEO:PREVIEW ANIMATION OF HEAT SHIELD INSPECTIONS VIDEO:NARRATED TOUR OF ENDEAVOUR’S PAYLOAD BAY VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 1 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR BLASTS OFF!

STORY WRITTEN FOR & USED WITH PERMISSIONPosted: February 21, 2010The shuttle Endeavour dropped through a partly cloudy sky and glided to a ghostly night landing at the Kennedy Space Center Sunday, leaving the International Space Station behind with a new life support module and observation deck. Credit: NASA TVApproaching the spaceport in a steep dive, commander George Zamka guided the shuttle through a sweeping left overhead turn, lined up on runway 15 and swooped to a picture-perfect touchdown at 10:20:31 p.m. EST. Pilot Terry Virts then released a red-and-white braking parachute and a few moments later, the spaceplane rolled to a stop.”Houston, Endeavour, wheels stopped,” Zamka radioed in a tradition call to mission control.”Roger wheels stopped, Endeavour. Welcome home,” replied astronaut Rick Sturckow from Houston. “Congratulations to you and the crew on an outstanding mission, installing the Tranquility node and opening up the cupola’s windows to the world.””Well Houston, it’s great to be home,” Zamka said. “It was a great adventure.”Space station flight engineer Soichi Noguchi watched Endeavour’s fiery re-entry from a window in the new cupola observation deck, tweeting via the internet “I watched the shuttle atmospheric reentry from Cupola window. The view was definitely out-of-the-world.”Mission duration was 13 days 18 hours six minutes and 24 seconds, covering 217 complete orbits and 5.6 million miles since blastoff Oct. 8 from nearby pad 39A.Zamka, Virts, Kathryn Hire, flight engineer Stephen Robinson and spacewalkers Robert Behnken and Nicholas Patrick doffed their pressure suits for a traditional runway inspection before heading to crew quarters for reunions with friends and family.”STS-130 is mission complete, we’re safe on deck here at Kennedy Space Center and that’s due to the work of a lot of people,” Zamka said. “We had a great team, we had tremendous hardware to bring up – node 3 was pristine, cupola was beautiful … and Endeavour, my goodness, what a machine! She was perfect throughout the flight and we brought her back safe and sound due to a great mission control team. So thanks to all who were involved.”Landing was in doubt earlier in the day as entry Flight Director Norm Knight assessed cloudy weather at the Kennedy Space Center.But conditions improved as the night wore on and based on observations by astronaut Christopher Ferguson, flying a shuttle training jet near the runway, Knight cleared Zamka and Virts to fire Endeavour’s braking rockets on time at 9:14 p.m. to begin the descent. Zamka had no problems and touchdown was uneventful.Endeavour undocked from the space station Friday night, leaving the outpost more than 98 percent complete with the addition of the Tranquility habitation module and a seven-window cupola observation deck.The station’s total pressurized volume is now 28,947 cubic feet – roughly the same as a 747 jumbo jet – and a habitable volume of 12,420 cubic feet. Total mass now stands at a bit more than 799,000 pounds. When the shuttle is attached, the two spacecraft mass more than a million pounds.The station’s U.S. life support equipment – an oxygen generator, carbon dioxide scrubber, a water processing rack, a urine recycling rack and a toilet – were moved into Tranquility after it was attached to the station, along with a high tech exercise machine.The cupola, launched on the outboard end of Tranquility, was moved to its Earth-facing port for use as an observation station and robot arm work station.Only four more shuttle flights are planned to deliver supplies, equipment, experiment racks and other gear in a final push to leave the lab complex in the best possible shape when the shuttle fleet is retired this fall. And with every successful launch and landing, the reality of the looming end of the shuttle program gains more traction among the men and women who maintain the iconic orbiters.”I got to watch a lot of the folks out on the runway tonight just kind of stand there and look up at Endeavour and think about the majesty of that ship and its next to last flight,” said Launch Director Mike Leinbach. “There’s a whole series of ‘lasts’ coming up. The people fall in love with the machines. It’s going to be hard to let them go. But we’ve been given our direction. We’re mature about it, we’re professional about it so we’re going to process and fly that last mission. And move on.”With Endeavour back on the ground, engineers at the Kennedy Space Center plan to haul the shuttle Discovery from its processing hangar to the Vehicle Assembly Building Tuesday for attachment to an external tank and solid fuel boosters. If all goes well, Discovery will be hauled to pad 39A on March 2, setting the stage for launch April 5.On March 18, the Russian Soyuz TMA-16 capsule is scheduled to undock from the station, bringing Expedition 22 commander Jeffrey Williams and cosmonaut Maxim Suraev back to Earth after six months in orbit.Another Soyuz, TMA-18, is scheduled for launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on April 2 to carry three fresh crew members to the outpost: Alexander Skvortsov, Mikhail Kornienko and NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell.Discovery is scheduled for take off three days later to deliver new science racks, a replacement ammonia coolant tank assembly, a rate gyroscope and to retrieve a Japanese experiment package.Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR SAFELY LANDS VIDEO:LANDING REPLAYS: INSIDE MISSION CONTROL VIDEO:LANDING REPLAYS: VAB ROOF VIDEO:LANDING REPLAYS: RUNWAY SOUTH VIDEO:LANDING REPLAYS: EDGE OF RUNWAY VIDEO:LANDING REPLAYS: RUNWAY MID-FIELD VIDEO:LANDING REPLAYS: EAST SIDE OF RUNWAY VIDEO:LANDING REPLAYS: INFRARED TRACKING CAMERA VIDEO:CREW WALKS AROUND SHUTTLE ON RUNWAY VIDEO:POST-LANDING COMMENTS FROM THE CREW VIDEO:SATURDAY AFTERNOON’S MANAGEMENT TEAM UPDATE VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 1 VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 3 VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 4 VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 5 VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 6 VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 7 VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 8 VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 9 VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 10 VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 11 VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 12 VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 13 VIDEO:CREW HOME MOVIES: FLIGHT DAY 14 VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 13 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:STUNNING TIME-LAPSE OF STATION FLYAROUND VIDEO:SATURDAY MORNING’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:VIEWS OF ENDEAVOUR DURING THE FLYAROUND VIDEO:VIEWS OF THE SPACE STATION DURING FLYAROUND VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR UNDOCKS FROM THE SPACE STATION VIDEO:PREVIEW OF FLIGHT DAY 13 ACTIVITIES VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 12 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:FRIDAY MORNING’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:SHUTTLE AND STATION CREWS BID THEIR FAREWELLS VIDEO:RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY FOR STATION’S CUPOLA VIDEO:IN-FLIGHT CREW NEWS CONFERENCE FOR U.S AND JAPAN VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 11 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:THURSDAY MORNING’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:OXYGEN GENERATOR RELOCATED TO TRANQUILITY VIDEO:STATION’S TOILET INSTALLED IN THE NEW MODULE VIDEO:WATER GENERATING EQUIPMENT MOVED INTO TRANQUILITY VIDEO:PRESIDENT OBAMA CALLS SHUTTLE AND STATION CREWS VIDEO:DAZZLING VIEWS FROM INSIDE CUPOLA VIDEO:CUPOLA WINDOW SHUTTERS ARE TESTED VIDEO:STATION ASTRONAUT’S CAMCORDER VIEWS OF CUPOLA VIDEO:FLIGHT DAY 10 HIGHLIGHTS MOVIE VIDEO:WEDNESDAY MORNING’S MISSION STATUS BRIEFING VIDEO:CUPOLA OPEN FOR VIEWING VIDEO:FREEING THE SHUTTERS VIDEO:CUPOLA IS UNVEILED!

Credit: Justin Ray/Spaceflight NowSEE MORE IMAGES Bolted to a giant external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters atop a mobile launching platform, Endeavour embarked on the three-and-a-half-mile trip at 4:13 a.m. EST. An Apollo-era transporter carried the shuttle stack along Kennedy Space Center’s rock-covered crawlerway leading to the oceanfront launch complex at barely a walking pace. Powerful hydraulics jacked up the platform, keeping it level as the crawler ascended the pad’s concrete incline. A laser alignment system helped technicians precisely position the platform, then the crawler lowered it onto the pad’s pedestals to complete Endeavour’s rollout at 10:37 a.m. EST.The shuttle’s move came on a morning of remarkably cold temperatures in Central Florida that dropped below freezing with an even harsher wind chill.Heaters and warm air purges have been established to protect the shuttle from the frigid weather. The ground crew devised a special plan to rotate personnel every 30 minutes, shifting between their duties and getting warmed up inside vans.In the next few hours and days, the methodical process of hooking up the crew module assess and hydrogen vent arms extending from the launch tower, as well as electrical, propellant, communications and other lines between the ground systems and mobile launch platform will begin.The mission’s payload — the Italian-made Tranquility module and attached cupola — is being readied for flight at Kennedy Space Center’s Space Station Processing Facility. The module is slated for delivery to the launch pad on January 15 for placement into the gantry’s cleanroom and subsequent installation into Endeavour’s payload bay. Credit: Stephen Clark/Spaceflight NowLiftoff of Endeavour is targeted for Superbowl Sunday — February 7 — at 4:39 a.m. EST (0939 GMT).”February 7th is looking great. We got a little bit of contingency time, so everything is looking well. We’re not tracking any major issues or concerns,” said Dana Hutcherson, the Endeavour flow director.The two-week flight will be led by commander George Zamka, along with rookie pilot Terry Virts, veteran mission specialists Kay Hire and Steve Robinson, and spacewalkers Bob Behnken and Nick Patrick.Three EVAs are planned by the crew to help with the transfer and activation of the new module. Tranquility will be used to house many of the space station’s life support systems and equipment once fully operational. The seven-windowed cupola will become the robotics workstation, allowing operators panoramic views around the outpost. It’ll also provide a spectacular viewing portal to the cosmos.The STS-130 mission marks the 130th mission overall for the shuttle program that began in April 1981, Endeavour’s 24th spaceflight since its maiden voyage in May 1992 and the 32nd space shuttle flight to the International Space Station dating back to December 1998.The launch also begins the sad countdown to the final five shuttle missions, all slated to occur between February and September.Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR’S FRIGID ROLLOUT TO PAD VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR HOISTED FOR ATTACHMENT TO TANK VIDEO:CRANE ROTATES THE ORBITER VERTICALLY VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR MOVES TO ASSEMBLY BUILDING VIDEO:TIME-LAPSE SHOWS ENDEAVOUR ASCENDING IN VAB VIDEO:TIME-LAPSE SHOWS THE MOVE TO ASSEMBLY BUILDING VIDEO:ORBITER READY TO LEAVE HANGAR VIDEO:EXTERNAL TANK ATTACHED TO BOOSTERS VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR’S MAIN ENGINE INSTALLATION VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS VISIT THEIR SPACECRAFT VIDEO:CREW INSPECTS MISSION PAYLOADS VIDEO:FUEL TANK UNLOADED FROM THE BARGE VIDEO:EXTERNAL TANK ARRIVES AT SPACEPORT VIDEO:FORWARD THRUSTER POD CHECKED OUT VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR TOWED OFF RUNWAY FROM STS-127 VIDEO:TRANQUILITY HATCH SEALED FOR LAUNCH VIDEO:CUPOLA ATTACHED TO TRANQUILITY VIDEO:THE SPACE STATION’S NEW CUPOLA VIDEO:TRANQUILITY UNPACKED IN FLORIDA VIDEO:NEW MODULE ARRIVES FROM EUROPE Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is now available in our store.

Credit: NASA TVCommander George Zamka, pilot Terry Virts and mission specialists Kay Hire, Steve Robinson, Bob Behnken and Nick Patrick wrapped up the countdown simulation in preparation for the February 7 launch to the International Space Station.The mock countdown culminated several days of emergency skills training and practicing for the real launch that’s coming up in a few weeks.The Astrovan delivered the astronauts to the seaside pad around 8 a.m. EST to begin entering the orbiter and taking their assigned seats just like the actual countdown.Clocks ticked down to T-minus 4 seconds before ending with a mock abort at 11:05 a.m. EST. The final count also practiced holds at the intermediate way points of T-minus 5 minutes and T-minus 1 minute, 57 seconds.The Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test concluded with the astronauts exiting the shuttle to rehearse emergency evacuation procedures and hopping in the escape baskets hanging on the launch tower.Still to come during the visit, the crew will stop by the pad’s cleanroom for a close inspection of the mission payloads. The Tranquility module and attached cupola for the International Space Station were installed into Endeavour’s cargo bay on Wednesday.They will fly back to Houston on Friday morning to finish final training there.The two-week orbital voyage is the first of five shuttle missions planned this year before the venerable spaceplanes are retired from service. Robinson said the crew isn’t dwelling on the program’s ending, but surely will reflect after they return from space.”We’re thinking about STS-130 every minute of every day. But it occurs to me that when we come back, the reality of what this year really means to the space shuttle program is going to set in. And it’s bittersweet. We all love the shuttle — look at that grand thing, look at what human beings can do.”But the history of space travel has shown that when one program ends the next program is even more exciting, more motivating, more compelling to go into the future than the one before it. We don’t exactly know what’s going to happen after the shuttle, but we do believe that’s going to be the case.”Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:SHUTTLE EVACUATION PRACTICE VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS BOARD ENDEAVOUR VIDEO:THE LAUNCH DAY SIMULATION BEGINS VIDEO:PAD BUNKER TRAINING FOR THE CREW VIDEO:CREW BRIEFED ON EMERGENCY PROCEDURES VIDEO:TEST-DRIVING AN EMERGENCY ARMORED TANK VIDEO:NIGHTTIME APPROACHES IN TRAINING AIRCRAFT VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS CHAT WITH REPORTERS AT PAD 39A VIDEO:SPACEWALKER UPDATES COOLING HOSE FIX VIDEO:ROBINSON’S THOUGHTS ON SHUTTLE RETIREMENT VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS ARRIVE FOR PRACTICE COUNTDOWN VIDEO:TRANQUILITY DELIVERED TO PAD 39A VIDEO:PAYLOAD TRANSPORTER GOES UPRIGHT VIDEO:PACKING UP PAYLOAD FOR LAUNCH VIDEO:SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR’S FRIGID ROLLOUT TO PAD VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR HOISTED FOR ATTACHMENT TO TANK VIDEO:CRANE ROTATES THE ORBITER VERTICALLY VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR MOVES TO ASSEMBLY BUILDING VIDEO:TIME-LAPSE SHOWS ENDEAVOUR ASCENDING IN VAB VIDEO:TIME-LAPSE SHOWS THE MOVE TO ASSEMBLY BUILDING VIDEO:ORBITER READY TO LEAVE HANGAR VIDEO:EXTERNAL TANK ATTACHED TO BOOSTERS VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR’S MAIN ENGINE INSTALLATION VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS VISIT THEIR SPACECRAFT VIDEO:CREW INSPECTS MISSION PAYLOADS VIDEO:FUEL TANK UNLOADED FROM THE BARGE VIDEO:EXTERNAL TANK ARRIVES AT SPACEPORT VIDEO:FORWARD THRUSTER POD CHECKED OUT VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR TOWED OFF RUNWAY FROM STS-127 VIDEO:TRANQUILITY HATCH SEALED FOR LAUNCH VIDEO:CUPOLA ATTACHED TO TRANQUILITY VIDEO:THE SPACE STATION’S NEW CUPOLA VIDEO:TRANQUILITY UNPACKED IN FLORIDA VIDEO:NEW MODULE ARRIVES FROM EUROPE STS-134 PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The final planned flight of space shuttle Endeavour is symbolized in the official embroidered crew patch for STS-134.

Credit: NASA”I’ve worked on the shuttle since before it flew, worked at NASA Ames on wind tunnel and computational investigations into how the shuttle would fly or how it should be shaped so that it would fly appropriately,” said Steve Robinson, a veteran of three shuttle missions and Endeavour’s flight engineer.”Shuttle is a grand statement about America’s ability to make a huge leap into the future. Many things the shuttle does that we now sort of take for granted, we had no idea it could even be done before the shuttle flew and we’re using the shuttle in ways that we didn’t really foresee, much, much more complicated missions than we ever imagined. So we have really learned a lot about becoming a space-faring nation with this vehicle.”Endeavour commander George Zamka says the diverse capabilities of the space shuttles is what will make the vehicles forever memorable.”It was such an ambitious concept to have its own airlock, to have its own robotic arm to capture and release satellites in space and to land like an airplane. It was a machine that was designed to do a lot of things. We were definitely reaching when we built the space shuttle and we’ve flown it for 30 years and we have done some amazing things. When interplanetary travel becomes normal I have a feeling we’ll look back to the space shuttle and we’ll see that we were a lot closer in this time to doing that kind of thing than we thought,” Zamka said.Kay Hire, one of Endeavour’s mission specialists, has a unique point-of-view because she worked on the space shuttles at the Kennedy Space Center as a ground team member before being selected as an astronaut.”The end of the space shuttle program, for me, is definitely mixed emotions. I’ve been involved with the space shuttle for 20 years. I came to work at the Kennedy Space Center in 1989 and it’s been a tremendous experience for me. I’m just so fortunate to have worked the ground aspect of the space shuttle as well as had the opportunity to fly the space shuttle and now going to the International Space Station,” Hire said.”I think so many people didn’t really expect it to fly this long, to accomplish so much, but it’s been this workhorse that’s been able to put humans into space and to work in space,” she continued.Astronaut Dale Gardner, wearing the Manned Maneuvering Unit, prepares to capture the wayward Westar satellite during the STS-51A mission in 1984. Credit: NASA”Early on the space shuttle program we had so many times that we not only launched satellites but we did satellite repair. The concept of that is still pretty amazing if you think about just going up and grabbing a spacecraft that’s on orbit and going, taking it and repairing and then tossing it back out there. That is just phenomenal that we did that multiple times with the space shuttle.”And then the ability to bring such large components to the International Space Station up to orbit and then assemble these things on orbit. You think about these components. They were built in different countries at different times. They were never fit-checked together. The complexity of this is mind boggling but we’ve accomplished this because of the space shuttle and because of the tremendous team that we have that’s been working on the space shuttle for so many years.”For mission specialist Nick Patrick, he believes the space shuttles are akin to the vessels that the early explorers used.”I think the space shuttles will be remembered the way we remember the sailing ships of the past. Our space shuttle Endeavour is named after Captain James Cook’s Bark Endeavour which was launched from the town of Whitby in North Yorkshire, about five or ten miles from where I was born,” Patrick said.”We look back on those ships today and we’re not so much impressed by what they can do in today’s terms but we’re impressed by how much they did with them, and I think that’s the way we’ll look back on the space shuttle. In 50 or 100 years time it won’t seem like the most technically advanced vehicle people could imagine. We’ll be doing more amazing things but we’ll be amazed by how much we did with it, how we managed to assemble an international space station in low Earth orbit with a vehicle that was 20 years old when we started doing it. We’ll be amazed at the feats performed by the people who flew it, even if we don’t remember who those people all are.”So I think we’ll look back on the space shuttle very fondly and we’ll see it as a very important step in our progression from the planet to low Earth orbit to the moon, the planets and then the stars.”Replicas of Columbus’ sailing ships travel by the shuttle launch pad before Endeavour’s maiden voyage in 1992. Credit: NASA”The first flight of shuttle was mostly about getting the shuttle to operate. This amazing machine that would take off like a rocket and land like an airplane and we remember how exciting that all was and over the years we’ve learned a tremendous amount from it. We’ve gained a lot of access to space. We’ve launched and retrieved satellites. We’ve done missions of ever increasing complexity and we’ve had some bumps along the way and throughout this timeframe the shuttle program has been executed with a lot of optimism and a lot of grit,” said Zamka.”There’s a lot of things that could have turned the shuttle program off or deterred us and we didn’t do it. We pressed ahead and I think where we are today is remarkable and I think it’s altogether proper that we celebrate the work that has been done on the space shuttle, especially for those that have spent their entire careers on this program. It’s given us things that we couldn’t have imagined back when we started.”Added Robinson: “I think if we ever get to the point where we can leave this planet with regularity and confidence and safety, we will look back at the shuttle and we’ll say, ‘Look at that amazing contraption those old fashioned people built. It’s amazing that thing ever worked at all, much less hundreds of times. Those guys must’ve really worked hard to get that complicated contraption to work right every time’ and that’s true. It takes an awful lot of hard, hard work. The machine doesn’t do it for us and I think in that way it’s sort of the epitome of what the human motivation and technically educated mind can really accomplish.”Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS ARRIVE FOR LAUNCH VIDEO:LAUNCH DATE SET AT FLIGHT READINESS REVIEW VIDEO:PAYLOAD BAY DOORS CLOSED FOR LAUNCH VIDEO:CREW SEES TRANQUILITY LOADED INTO SHUTTLE VIDEO:SHUTTLE EVACUATION PRACTICE VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS BOARD ENDEAVOUR VIDEO:THE LAUNCH DAY SIMULATION BEGINS VIDEO:PAD BUNKER TRAINING FOR THE CREW VIDEO:CREW BRIEFED ON EMERGENCY PROCEDURES VIDEO:TEST-DRIVING AN EMERGENCY ARMORED TANK VIDEO:NIGHTTIME APPROACHES IN TRAINING AIRCRAFT VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS CHAT WITH REPORTERS AT PAD 39A VIDEO:SPACEWALKER UPDATES COOLING HOSE FIX VIDEO:ROBINSON’S THOUGHTS ON SHUTTLE RETIREMENT VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS ARRIVE FOR PRACTICE COUNTDOWN VIDEO:TRANQUILITY DELIVERED TO PAD 39A VIDEO:PAYLOAD TRANSPORTER GOES UPRIGHT VIDEO:PACKING UP PAYLOAD FOR LAUNCH VIDEO:SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR’S FRIGID ROLLOUT TO PAD VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR HOISTED FOR ATTACHMENT TO TANK VIDEO:CRANE ROTATES THE ORBITER VERTICALLY VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR MOVES TO ASSEMBLY BUILDING VIDEO:TIME-LAPSE SHOWS ENDEAVOUR ASCENDING IN VAB VIDEO:TIME-LAPSE SHOWS THE MOVE TO ASSEMBLY BUILDING VIDEO:ORBITER READY TO LEAVE HANGAR VIDEO:EXTERNAL TANK ATTACHED TO BOOSTERS VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR’S MAIN ENGINE INSTALLATION VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS VISIT THEIR SPACECRAFT VIDEO:CREW INSPECTS MISSION PAYLOADS VIDEO:FUEL TANK UNLOADED FROM THE BARGE VIDEO:EXTERNAL TANK ARRIVES AT SPACEPORT VIDEO:FORWARD THRUSTER POD CHECKED OUT VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR TOWED OFF RUNWAY FROM STS-127 VIDEO:TRANQUILITY HATCH SEALED FOR LAUNCH VIDEO:CUPOLA ATTACHED TO TRANQUILITY VIDEO:THE SPACE STATION’S NEW CUPOLA VIDEO:TRANQUILITY UNPACKED IN FLORIDA VIDEO:NEW MODULE ARRIVES FROM EUROPE John Glenn Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The historic first orbital flight by an American is marked by this commemorative patch for John Glenn and Friendship 7.Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is available in our store.

STORY WRITTEN FOR & USED WITH PERMISSIONPosted: November 17, 2009 The Atlantis astronauts are working through a busy day in space, facing a lengthy heat shield inspection, spacesuit checkout and preparations for rendezvous and docking with the International Space Station Wednesday. The astronauts were awakened a few minutes before 4:30 a.m. EST to begin their first full day in space.An inspection of the shuttle’s reinforced carbon carbon nose cap and wing leading edge panels begins at 8:13 a.m., a process that will take about six hours to complete. The nose cap and wing leading edge panels experience the most extreme heating during re-entry and the inspection is a now-standard post-Columbia task intended to spot areas that might have been damaged by debris impacts during launch.Only a few debris events were noted during Atlantis’ ascent Monday and Bill Gerstenmaier, chief of space operations at NASA headquarters in Washington, said Monday that they occurred after the shuttle was out of the dense lower atmosphere where impacts pose the greatest risk.Using a 50-foot-long boom on the end of the shuttle’s robot arm, the astronauts will start by inspecting an umbilical panel on the right side of the shuttle where launch pad propellant and electrical lines were connected.”That’ll begin with a survey of the OMS pod and what we call the T-zero umbilical where we flow cryogenic fluids through that interface, make sure there’s no residual ice or damage to that area from the launch environment … before sweeping the boom up and down the starboard wing surface, the reinforced carbon carbon that sees the hottest temperatures during the landing phase,” said Flight Director Mike Sarafin.”After a series of racetrack maneuvers up and down the starboard wing, we will eventually reposition the boom up and over the crew cabin to get a view of the thermal blankets and tiles around the windows on the front of Atlantis. And then start to survey the nose cap, which again, is a reinforced carbon carbon surface, it’s a very hard material that’s used to reject the heat of re-entry.”Once that’s complete, we’ll go perform a very similar survey of the port wing and view the lower surface of the wing … to make sure it, again, sustained the launch environment without any issues,” he said. “Towards the tail end of the survey, we’ll take a similar view by looking at the OMS pod and T-zero umbilical on the opposite side of the vehicle, again, pan, tilt and zoom the camera on the end of the boom to make sure that it looks good in that area of the vehicle before putting the boom away at the end of the day.”Today’s mission status briefing is scheduled for 2 p.m., followed by a post-Mission Management Team briefing at 5 p.m.Here is an updated timeline of today’s activity (in EDT and mission elapsed time; includes revision B of the NASA television schedule):EST……..DD…HH…MM…EVENT11/17/0904:28 AM…00…14…00…Crew wakeup05:58 AM…00…15…30…Minicam downlink06:37 AM…00…16…09…NC-2 rendezvous rocket firing06:58 AM…00…16…30…SRMS unberths OBSS07:23 AM…00…16…55…Ergometer setup07:53 AM…00…17…25…Spacesuit checkout preps08:13 AM…00…17…45…OBSS starboard wing survey08:23 AM…00…17…55…Spacesuit checkout10:08 AM…00…19…40…Crew meals begin11:08 AM…00…20…40…OBSS nose cap survey11:08 AM…00…20…40…Spacesuit prepped for transfer11:58 AM…00…21…30…OBSS port wing survey12:00 PM…00…21…32…WISE pre-launch briefing (education channel)02:00 PM…00…23…32…Mission status briefing on NTV02:13 PM…00…23…45…SRMS berths OBSS03:08 PM…01…00…40…SRMS grapples ELC103:23 PM…01…00…55…OMS pod survey03:28 PM…01…01…00…Centerline camera setup03:28 PM…01…01…00…LDRI downlink03:58 PM…01…01…30…Orbiter docking system ring extension04:28 PM…01…02…00…Rendezvous tools checkout05:00 PM…01…02…32…MMT briefing on NTV05:44 PM…01…03…16…NC-3 rendezvous rocket firing08:28 PM…01…06…00…Crew sleep begins09:00 PM…01…06…32…Daily highlights reel on NTVAdditional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:CREW FINISHES GETTING SUITED UP VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS LEAVE CREW QUARTERS VIDEO:LIFTOFF OF SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS!

STORY WRITTEN FOR & USED WITH PERMISSIONPosted: June 24, 2009 Engineers plan to load the shuttle Endeavour’s external tank with rocket fuel next Wednesday to test vent line fixes intended to stop, or at least reduce, gaseous hydrogen leaks that grounded the shuttle June 13 and 17, NASA officials said today. If the repairs work, the agency will press ahead with a third attempt to launch Endeavour on a space station assembly mission July 11. Ground crews work on Endeavour’s ground umbilical carrier plate at pad 39A on Wednesday. Credit: NASA TVA different sort of problem has cropped up for the shuttle Atlantis, just back from a successful mission to overhaul the Hubble Space Telescope. Sources say engineers recently discovered an astronaut work light attachment knob lodged between the inner pressure pane of cockpit window No. 5 and the back of an instrument panel housing.The knob, used to mount a light on a bracket much like the knob on a tripod holds a camera, floated into a hard-to-see corner of the window area during the mission, when the crew cabin was pressurized to 14.7 pounds per square inch. It apparently got stuck between the inner window pane and the instrument panel housing when Atlantis returned to Earth and the cabin structure shrank slightly.The knob is now firmly lodged against the inner pressure pane of window No. 5, the sources said. Because of uncertainty about whether the pane has been damaged, the knob must be removed – and the pane confirmed to be structurally sound – before Atlantis can fly again in November.While the knurled knob is pressing against the pane in two locations, it’s not yet clear whether the glass has suffered any measurable damage. But access is tight and engineers considering removal options must make sure they don’t inadvertently damage the glass. Replacing a pressure pane, one official said, could take months because part of the cockpit instrumentation would have to be moved or disconnected to provide clearance.Engineers have tried to cool the stuck knob with dry ice in hopes of getting it to shrink enough to permit removal, but that did not work. A variety of other techniques are under assessment and it’s not yet clear what impact, if any, the issue might have for Atlantis’ next mission. Launch is targeted for Nov. 12.Endeavour was grounded twice June 13 and 17 by gaseous hydrogen leaks where a 7-inch vent line attaches to an umbilical plate on the side of the shuttle’s external tank. Engineers believe the rectangular vent port housing built into the tank was misaligned slightly during the manufacturing process, preventing the umbilical plate and quick-disconnect fitting from achieving a tight seal.To improve the vent line umbilical’s ability to maintain a tight fit when the hardware is chilled to cryogenic temperatures, moving slightly as the mechanism contracts slightly, engineers are switching to an alternative two-part seal that is more flexible than the single-piece seal used earlier.In addition, special washers will be installed on the umbilical plate’s mounting points to act as shims, again to improve the system’s ability to move slightly while maintaining a tight seal.Hydrogen concentrations of up to 40,000 parts per million are allowable and engineers are hopeful the changes will eliminate the leakage, or at least reduce it to allowable levels. If so, NASA will press ahead with plans to launch Endeavour July 11.Engineers plan to install a new flexible two-part seal in the vent line Thursday and to attach the quick-disconnect fitting Saturday. The “call to stations” to begin what amounts to a countdown to the fueling test is planned for Monday night. If all goes well, the tank will be loaded with super cold liquid oxygen and hydrogen rocket fuel Wednesday morning.Additional coverage for subscribers:VIDEO:POST-SCRUB NEWS BRIEFING VIDEO:FIRING ROOM UPDATE WITH LAUNCH DIRECTOR VIDEO:SCRUB NO. 2 DECLARED DUE TO HYDROGEN LEAK VIDEO:SUNDAY’S UPDATE FROM MISSION MANAGEMENT TEAM VIDEO:LEAK POSTPONES SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR LAUNCH VIDEO:TIME-LAPSE OF SUN SETTING OVER PAD 39A VIDEO:ANOTHER TIME-LAPSE OF GANTRY RETRACTION VIDEO:TIME-LAPSE OF LAUNCH PAD TOWER ROLLBACK VIDEO:PRE-LAUNCH INTERVIEW WITH MARK POLANSKY VIDEO:PRE-LAUNCH INTERVIEW WITH DOUG HURLEY VIDEO:PRE-LAUNCH INTERVIEW WITH CHRIS CASSIDY VIDEO:PRE-LAUNCH INTERVIEW WITH JULIE PAYETTE VIDEO:PRE-LAUNCH INTERVIEW WITH TOM MARSHBURN VIDEO:PRE-LAUNCH INTERVIEW WITH DAVE WOLF VIDEO:THE STS-127 MISSION PREVIEW MOVIE VIDEO:THURSDAY’S PRE-LAUNCH NEWS CONFERENCE VIDEO:JAPANESE SCIENCE FACILITIES ABOARD STATION VIDEO:COUNTDOWN BEGINS TICKING FOR SATURDAY’S LAUNCH VIDEO:LAUNCH COUNTDOWN PREVIEW BRIEFING VIDEO:CREW ARRIVES JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT VIDEO:GET TO KNOW ENDEAVOUR’S ASTRONAUTS VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS PRACTICE EVACUATION OF SHUTTLE VIDEO:CREW BOARDS SHUTTLE FOR PRACTICE COUNT VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS SUIT UP FOR DRESS REHEARSAL VIDEO:CREW INSPECTS CARGO IN THE PAYLOAD BAY VIDEO:TRAINING SESSIONS AT LAUNCH PAD AND BUNKER VIDEO:INFORMAL CREW NEWS CONFERENCE AT LAUNCH PAD VIDEO:ASTRONAUTS ARRIVE FOR PRACTICE COUNTDOWN VIDEO:FLIGHT READINESS REVIEW SETS LAUNCH DATE VIDEO:PAD 39A GANTRY ENCLOSES SHUTTLE VIDEO:ROLLAROUND MOVES ENDEAVOUR TO PAD 39A VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR IS HAULED OFF LAUNCH PAD 39B VIDEO:TIME-LAPSE OF SHUTTLE’S LAUNCH PAD SWITCH VIDEO:SHUTTLE AND STATION PROGRAM UPDATE VIDEO:THE STS-127 MISSION OVERVIEW BRIEFING VIDEO:PREVIEW BRIEFING ON MISSION’S SPACEWALKS VIDEO:THE ASTRONAUTS’ PRE-FLIGHT NEWS BRIEFING VIDEO:PAD 39B AND ITS LAST SPACE SHUTTLE VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR’S SUNRISE ARRIVAL AT PAD 39B VIDEO:MIDNIGHT ROLLOUT FROM ASSEMBLY BUILDING VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR HOISTED FOR ATTACHMENT TO TANK VIDEO:CRANE ROTATES ENDEAVOUR VERTICALLY VIDEO:ENDEAVOUR MOVES TO ASSEMBLY BUILDING VIDEO:ORION AND ARES ROCKET PROGRESS REPORT Final Shuttle Mission PatchFree shipping to U.S. addresses!The crew emblem for the final space shuttle mission is now available in our store.

The leak only occurred when the vent line hardware was chilled to ultra-low temperatures. To fix the problem, engineers substituted a different type of internal seal and used shims to compensate for unwanted motion when the hardware contracts slightly under cryogenic conditions.
