NASA recovered the vernier thrusters in the back with its trick to
insert new values into the shuttle's computer memory. They were used
without problem during today's docking.
Now that it is docked, they aren't taking much time to celebrate, they
are moving right away to start to move the pallet holding Dextre to the
truss. (Dextre is too big to be assembled inside the shuttle payload bay).
Crew switch will happen today when the Soyuz seat liners are switched
and Sokhol suits tested.
So far, the inspections of the wing leading edge have not uncovered any
significant areas of interest. (not officialy anonounced as "0" yet, but
they expect it to be at 0).
debris at 10 seconds: Confirmed it did not strike vehicle. 2 frames
later, there was a tyvek cover that came off (also not a problem) and
that initially led to some confusion in initial viewing of the videos.
ATV: Propulsion problems have all been cleared and they have performed
tests in the last two days with success. |
