From ISS On-Orbit Status Report for 04/11/2011.
CDR Mike Fossum & FE-5 Satoshi Furukawa spent several hours in the US Lab checking out and operating Robonaut. [Activities included a review of procedures and a video depicting the operational envelope of the robot, setting up the camcorder in Node 2 to capture Lab cabin video of Robonaut ops, installing & cabling Robonaut & supporting hardware at its Port 2 seat track location, powering it up in conjunction with ground commanding and then taking it through its ground (POIC/Huntsville)-commanded motions via GUI, telnet windows and H&S (Health & Status) telemetry. Mike & Satoshi ran scripts for checking out the motion stop function with arms motored & moving, Robonaut Ready Pose plus Robonaut joints and force sensors in the arms & fingers. Robonaut was then powered down from Stow Pose, disassembled, uncabled and restowed in its M-03 Bag. Operational envelope of Robonaut's arms requires an oblate spheroid of free space 2.44 m (96 in.) diameter and 1.88 m (74 in.) high.]
Performing IFM (Inflight Maintenance) in the ESA COL (Columbus Orbital Laboratory), Mike Fossum used a ratchet to remove three tension rod/latch assemblies (of 8 total) from the COL hatch mechanism, disconnecting them from the hatch plate and stowing them. [These assemblies were previously disengaged.]
Conjunction Alert:
Flight controllers are tracking a new conjunction with Object #30353 (Fengyun 1C Debris). TCA (Time of Closest Approach): 11/06 (Sunday), 6:31 PM GMT. Concern is presently at Medium level. If a DAM (Debris Avoidance Maneuver) is required, TIG (Time of Ignition) would be ~4:13 PM GMT on 11/06.
Time Change:
The change from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time will occur on Sunday, November 6 at 2:00 AM (local time). Clocks should be set BACK 1 hour.
