Atlantis Docks with International Space Station
Sun, 16 May 2010 04:34:20 PM GMT+0200

At 10:28 a.m. EDT, Commander Ken Ham backed space shuttle Atlantis into pressurized mating adapter #2 on the International Space Station’s Harmony node. The two spacecraft were flying about 220 miles up over the South Pacific at the time they docked.

The shuttle and station crews will open hatches and hold the traditional welcome ceremony at about 12:30 p.m. Atlantis’ crew will be working with Expedition 23 Commander Oleg Kotov and Russian Flight Engineers Alexander Skvortsov and Mikhail Kornienko, Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and NASA's T.J. Creamer and Tracy Caldwell Dyson.

About an hour after hatches are open, Caldwell Dyson and Mission Specialist Piers Sellers will use the station’s robotic arm to move the Integrated Cargo Carrier from the payload bay to the station’s mobile transporter. This will enable the carrier and its attached hardware to be prepositioned for use throughout the mission.

Mission Specialists Garrett Reisman, Michael Good and Steve Bowen will transfer the spacesuits and spacewalk equipment over to the station’s Quest airlock and begin setting up for the first spacewalk.

Spacewalkers Begin Solar Array Battery Swap
21 May 2010 7:27 a.m. EDT

Spacewalkers Michael Good and Garrett Reisman have wasted no time getting to work outside the International Space Station. You can watch the action live on NASA TV by clicking here.

The astronauts have already installed an ammonia hose, called a "jumper," to help the station's cooling system and are turning their attention to their main task – the installation of two new solar array batteries at the very leftmost edge of the space station.

Spacewalkers Install 1st of 2 New Station Batteries

Spacewalkers Michael Good and Garrett Reisman have finished hooking up the first of two new solar array batteries they are installing on the International Space Station today. You can watch the action live on NASA TV by clicking here.

Good and Reisman are replacing 2 of 6 solar array batteries at the extreme left side of the space station. The other four batteries were replaced Wednesday during an earlier spacewalk.

Spacewalkers Retrieve Fixture for Robotic Arm
21 May 2010 11:00 a.m. EDT

Spacewalkers Michael Good and Garrett Reisman are now working in the space shuttle Atlantis' payload bay for what is expected to be the last time ever. Their job: Retrieving a power and data grapple fixture that will be used to help extend the station's robotic arm reach to its Russian segment.
