Troubleshooting revealed that one of the main load valves instrumentation was stuck in the ON position, causing a mismatch and the sequencer to shut down,\u2019 noted processing information on one such example this week.<\/p>\n \u2018A console override command was sent to reset the instrumentation. Also as a result, lost visibility into percentage of tank loaded. Engineering offloaded fuel back to 20 percent for visibility and baseline and then picked load back up. OMS\/RCS Oxidizer and Fuel and APU\/HPU Fuel loading operations are all complete.\u2019<\/p>\n The only other issue reported earlier this week related to the chamber pressure in the Right Hand Solid Rocket Booster (RH SRB) \u2013 which has resulted in the removal and replacement of the pressure transducer \u2013 with a re-test to be carried out on Saturday.<\/p>\n The two main issues being looked into relate to the payload which has seen its arrival at the pad delayed, and the potential contamination of Atlantis\u2019 flight deck when engineers noticed the White Room \u2013 which provides access to the orbiter at the pad \u2013 had a door unsecured and blowing in the wind.<\/p>\n \u2018The right white room door was not secured and locked as it should have been. The escorts for several tour groups in the area at the time also noted that the right door was not secured because they saw the wind blowing it open,\u2019 added processing information.<\/p>\n \u2018An inspection of the door showed that it was not locked properly and that the integrity seal was also installed incorrectly which allowed the wind to blow the door open. From the inspection it was clear that the integrity seal was not \u2018broken into\u2019 but was not properly installed in the first place.<\/p>\n \u2018Witness statements will be collected from personnel in the area to verify crew module integrity was never violated. Also a crew module inspection and the orbiter pre-power switch list will be run before the next vehicle power up.\u2019<\/p>\n The payload issue has the potential of slipping the launch date, due to it being the critical path in STS-125\u2019s flow. The Space Shuttle Program (SSP) are still aiming for October 10 based on an expected 24 hour delay to the payload\u2019s arrival at the pad.<\/p>\n The problem related to contamination being observed inside the \u2018bagging\u2019 that the Super Lightweight Interchangeable Carrier (SLIC) was to be placed inside of. This stopped the process of installing\u00c2 the hardware\u00c2 into the payload canister.<\/p>\n \u2018As a result, the SLIC is being unbagged and the contamination cleaned up before it can be installed into the canister and transported\u00c2 to Launch Pad 39A for installation into Atlantis\u2019 cargo bay,\u2019 added processing information. \u2018The clean up will take 24 hours.\u2019<\/p>\n Evaluations into the flow schedule will take place, should the payload transfer to the pad fail to take place later today\/tonight \u2013 which may result in the launch date slipping.<\/p>\n UPDATE: Payload to the Pad operations has been moved to 6pm Saturday. Both Rotating Service Structures (RSS) will be retracted between 7am and 9am on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n Endeavour STS-400\/126 Processing Latest: First motion was recorded at\u00c2 23:15 local, after the Mobile Launch Platform (MLP) now jacked up on the crawler\/trasporter inside the VAB. A weather briefing at 23:00 local gave the \u2018go\u2019 for rollout<\/p>\n One engineering note of interest will be worked once Endeavour arrives at Pad 39B, relating to a GSE purge tube that is observed as bent.<\/p>\n \u2018(Thruster R4R GSE purge tube is bent) due to contact with VAB Platform D2,\u2019 noted engineering information.\u00c2 \u2018Engineering will inspect the thruster after roll to the Pad due to limited access in the VAB.\u2019<\/p>\n Endeavour\u2019s week inside the VAB has proceeded smoothly, with only a few issues of note, all of which have been resolved by her engineers.<\/p>\n \u2018During Shuttle Range Safety System Interface Test, the Left SRB B Command Receiver Decoder (CRD) dropped 2 of 4 pulses,\u2019 added processing information this week. \u2018Determined that a faulty GSE signal generator was the cause of dropouts. The signal generator was replaced and the Interface Test successfully completed.<\/p>\n \u2018During securing of LO2 manifold blanket pressure from PD12 helium leak check, the GN2 blanket supply valve was found to be open (S\/B closed for the test).<\/p>\n \u2018This configuration allowed a small amount of GN2 to flow in to the LO2 manifold during helium leak checks, which violates the configuration specified in the OMRS. The valve was closed and the leak check successfully performed in the proper configuration.\u2019<\/p>\n A new article will be published during\/shorlt after rollout.<\/p>\n L2 Members: Refer to TAG keywords \u2018STS-125\u2019 and\u00c2 \u2018STS-400\u2019 for an extensive selection of related presentations and live processing information from the orbiter\u2019s engineers, as L2\u2019s 125\/400 Special Section builds up into the FRR element of the flow.<\/em><\/p>\n L2 members<\/em>: All documentation\u00c2 \u2013 from which the above article has quoted snippets \u2013 is available in full in the related L2 sections, updated live.<\/em> A problem during the preparation of Atlantis\u2019 Hubble Servicing payload has delayed its arrival at Pad 39A until Saturday. As a result, STS-125\u2019s launch date is in real danger of slipping \u2013 with a re-evaluation of the flow timelines on Monday. Meanwhile, Endeavour has begun to rollout to Pad 39B shortly, following a 24 hour […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[7779,8290,8291],"class_list":["post-41308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-shuttle","tag-sts-125","tag-sts-400"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41308"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41308\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/em><\/em>**Click\u00c2 here for sample of L2 menu and content**<\/em><\/p>\n

\nEndeavour \u2013 as the STS-400 LON (Launch On Need) stack -\u00c2 was due to roll out of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) just after midnight. However, this was delayed by 24 hours due to unacceptable weather in the local area.<\/p>\nThe 24 hour delay will also move the APU hot fire test \u2013 required following the changeout of APU 3 inside the Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF) \u2013 from Friday to Saturday.<\/p>\n
