Timeline

[edit]
===Flight Day 1===

• Launch • Payload Bay Door Opening • Ku-Band Antenna Deployment • Shuttle Robotic Arm Activation and Payload Bay Survey • Umbilical Well and Handheld External Tank Photo and TV Downlink

===Flight Day 2===

• Endeavour’s Thermal Protection System Survey with Shuttle Robotic Arm/Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS) • Extravehicular Mobility Unit Checkout • Centerline Camera Installation • Orbiter Docking System Ring Extension • Orbital Maneuvering System Pod Survey • Rendezvous tools checkout

===Flight Day 3===

• Rendezvous with the International Space Station • Rendezvous Pitch Maneuver Photography of Endeavour’s Thermal Protection System by Williams and Kotov of the Expedition 22 • Docking to Harmony/Pressurized Mating Adapter-2 • Hatch Opening and Welcoming • Canadarm2 grapple of OBSS and handoff to Shuttle robotic arm

===Flight Day 4===

• Spacewalk 1 preparations by Behnken andPatrick • Crew off duty time • Williams replacement and checkout of Distillation Assembly in the Water Recovery System • Spacewalk 1 procedure review • Spacewalk 1 campout by Behnken and Patrick in the Quest airlock

===Flight Day 5===

• Spacewalk 1 by Behnken and Patrick (Tranquility unberth preparations, tool stowage assembly removal from Dextre, launch to activation and avionics cable installation for Tranquility) • Tranquility unberth from Endeavour’s payload bay and installation on port side of Unity • Tranquility/Unity vestibule leak checks

===Flight Day 6===

• Focused inspection of Endeavour’s thermal protection heat shield, if required • Tranquility hatch opening • Canadarm2 base change • Cupola hatch opening • Tranquility interior outfitting • Spacewalk 2 procedure review • Spacewalk 2 campout by Behnken and Patrick in the Quest airlock

  • Note: A decision on whether to transfer regenerative system racks to the new Tranquility Node 3 during docked operations is dependent on the required run time for the newly installed Water Recovery System hardware; if rack transfers are approved during docked operations, they would occur on an additional docked day, which would be a newly inserted Flight Day 11; a final decision would occur no earlier than the end of Flight Day 6; if rack transfers to Tranquility do not occur during docked operations, they would occur in stage operations for the station crew.
===Flight Day 7===

• Spacewalk 2 by Behnken and Patrick (install ammonia jumper cables, thermal insulation and other outfitting items on Tranquility) • Opening of fluid lines for cooling of Tranquility’s avionics • Ground activation of Tranquility’s systems • Depressurization of the Cupola/Tranquility hatch interface • Canadarm2 grapple of the Cupola

===Flight Day 8===

• Cupola unberth from forward end of Tranquility and installation to nadir port of Tranquility • Cupola vestibule outfitting

===Flight Day 9===

• Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 (PMA-3) unberth from Harmony zenith port and installation on forward port of Tranquility for micrometeoroid debris protection • Cupola interior outfitting • Crew off duty time • Spacewalk 3 procedure review • Spacewalk 3 campout by Behnken and Patrick in the Quest airlock

===Flight Day 10===

• Spacewalk 3 by Behnken and Patrick (PMA-3 cable installations, Cupola thermal insulation removal, Cupola launch lock release, video cable installations, and worksite handrail installations) • Cupola robotic work station installation • PMA-3 repressurization

===Flight Day 11===

• Endeavour to ISS transfer operations • Joint Crew News Conference • Rendezvous Tool Checkout • Farewells and Hatch Closure • ISS reboost, if required

===Flight Day 12===

• Endeavour undocking from ISS and flyaround • Final separation from the ISS • OBSS late inspection of Endeavour’s thermal heat shield • OBSS berth

===Flight Day 13===

• Cabin stowage • Flight Control System checkout • Reaction Control System hot-fire test • Deorbit Preparation Briefing • Ku-band antenna stowage

===Flight Day 14===

• Deorbit preparations • Payload Bay Door closing • Deorbit burn • KSC Landing

Returned the planned timeline, as planned timeline has been saved in many previous STS mission Discussion pages as for comparision of planned to actual... excellant to put a copy in main article and commented out until referenced material can be added as time goes on. Removing material from Discussion pages are not to removed, but can be archived. LanceBarber (talk) 05:31, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Launch photos

[edit]

There is an awful lot of launch photos, do we really need them all? In my opinion 1 or 2 photos would be sufficent to demonstrate what happened during launch.--NavyBlue84 19:28, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I guess it depends on the purpose of the pictures. Every shuttle launch pretty much looks the same, save the time of day and the specific vehicle. On the extreme opposite side of the spectrum, we might argue that each launch takes takes place during a distinct absolute time, every moment of the launch from T to when the shuttle disappears from view is slightly different, and the launch certainly looks different from different locations (compare the shots from the causeway and Titusville with ones from the various non-public venue). Additionally, there is some difference between public domain NASA photography and properly licensed third-party photography, though I'm not sure if that consideration is very pressing with regard to wikipedia. I don't think that the section is overflowing yet, though of course I am an interested party to this discussion. Whatever the outcome and whatever the determined purpose of these pictures, I think we should make sure this shot should stay. It's just an awesome shot. Shane Lin (talk) 21:19, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking keep photos 1,2 and 7 and then keep 2 of 4,5 or 6. I think 6 photos of the same thing is a little over board. Your right, each launch is unique, but putting too many photos in an article makes it long and IMO might turn people off. I don't think its overflowing, I just think its a little too much, don't want to over do it.--NavyBlue84 22:14, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 2 or 3, put all 6 and future pics in a new Commons, LanceBarber (talk) 05:24, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a link to the screenshots from NASA TV during the mission, if anyone finds them useful, there is a mission time in the name of file :

Damage spotted on Endeavour's Thermal Protection System

[edit]

A German news station (n-tv) just reported that NASA spotted damage on Endeavour's TPS. Sadly, they don't have the report on their homepage. Does anyone have another source for that? -- 78.43.93.25 (talk) 13:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is 2 minor spots, one is a crack on a tile that had been repaired on the ground. The other is a ceramic insert on one of the windows. Only concern for the second one is that it will fly out and damage the OMS pod or stabilizer during re-entry. Its too early to tell if it is really going to be a problem or if anything needs to be done. NASA managers have deemed it a low concern.--NavyBlue84 15:01, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline section need in-line refs for each day's completed events

Structural steel hull (caption)

[edit]

I was a bit surprised to see that Node 3's pressure hull is made of steel...what was the source of information in the caption? Not fred999 (talk) 17:28, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
