Dummy panels in the JPM will assist in rack transfer, which involved the connecting of umbilicals. <\/p>\n Heater Controller Thermal Loops (HCTL) A and B Reconfigs were completed during the transfers, while controllers on the ground coordinated the powerdowns with the crew. Only one HCTL was deactivated at a time starting with the B loop.<\/p>\n Vestibule Outfit 3 was the key task of the outfitting, which included the installing of Liquid Thermal Control System (LTCS) Jumper Mittens. Channel A Activation was initiated by ground controllers, following the completion of EPS1 and DMS1 rack transfer and umbilical connections. <\/p>\n Centerline Berthing Camera System (CBCS) setup was performed to prep for JLP relocate from Node 2 to the JPM, this was pre-empted by the changeout the condensate collection CWC. Installation of an antimicrobial adapter (AMiA) in the US Lab also took place. <\/p>\n Other task required involved the disconnection of the JLP Laptop, prior to JLP Egress. The JLP will be egressed once all of the racks have been transferred. After hatch closure, the Node 2 Controller Panel Assemblies (CPAs) were installed for overnight checkout. <\/p>\n The SSRMS (Space Station Robotic Manipulator System) then ungrappled the JPM and grapple the PDGF 3 (Power Data Grapple Fixture). The ground team performed a base change in preparation for the JLP relocate. <\/p>\n The ungrapple occured as soon as the Channel A Activation was completed, since redundant power is no longer required through the SSRMS.<\/p>\n However, following further examinations, the white line on the race ring appear to be a white streak of grease. Also, there appeared to be a lack of metallic shavings, noted as a failure mechanism for the starboard SARJ.<\/p>\n \u2018One line in the Datum A, appears to be a dried line,\u2019 noted spacewalker Fossum. \u20183\/4ths of an inch from the edge. Not totally uniform, some striations in it.\u2019<\/p>\n Close up images of the SARJ will be evaluated further on the ground.<\/p>\n <\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n OBSS Evaluations:<\/p>\n Flight Day 5\u2019s checkouts of the OBSS were initially classed as successful by the Mission Management Team (MMT). However, one item appears to have involved error messages.<\/p>\n This was the subject of an Orbiter Project Office (OPO) telecons throughout the day.<\/p>\n \u2018During the OBSS Sensor checkout, the Laser Camera System (LCS) annunciated multiple error messages associated with the Y-galvanometer position and excessive current draw to the Y-galvanometer was observed,\u2019 noted the only MER (Mission Evaluation Room) \u2018Funny\u2019 report for the flight at present. <\/p>\n \u2018The LCS team is currently reviewing the signature and assessing any impacts to scans later in the mission if the LCS were required. A preliminary assessment is expected at the FD 6 OPO Telecon.\u2019 <\/p>\n The OBSS required checkouts, following several months stowed on the ISS after STS-123 \u2013 due to payload bay constraints with STS-124\u2019s delivery of Kibo \u2013 and a period of 30 minutes without power during Flight Day 5\u2019s handoff.<\/p>\n The evaluations concluded by finding the problem won\u2019t be an issue during Late Inspections.<\/p>\n L2 members<\/em><\/font>: All documentation \u2013 from which the above article has quoted snippets \u2013 is available in full in the related L2 sections, updated live.<\/em><\/p>\n Click here for a range of superb STS mission specific music videos created by Max Q videos <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ron Garan and Mike Fossum have been carrying out STS-124\u2019s EVA-2, which involved the installation of covers and external television equipment on Kibo, along with removing the covers on the Japanese RMS (Remote Manipulator System).

To allow for this, the spacewalkers removed the Zenith cover from where the JLP will mate, releasing MMOD (Micro-Meteoroid Orbital Debris) Shield Launch Restraints, removing the PIP Pin, and inspecting the CBM (Common Berthing Mechanism). <\/p>\n
Following a request from the Program, the port SARJ (Solar Alpha Rotary Joint) was also inspected. For a moment, the spacewalker Fossum believed he had found damage on the Datum A \u2013 which would have been a major blow, following the discovery of the divot on the starboard SARJ.<\/p>\n
