Good evening, needing some help/advice.
Ref. STS-41B, EVA day 1.
I know, historically, the SPAS-01A was prepared with 2 off trunnion pins intended for TPAD "docking", one centre-aft (which can be seen in the scenario) and another one starboard of the RMS grapple point (to simulate the SMM MEB). I am not sure ( couldn't find anything in open sources) if in real life mission the "docking" occured on these 2 points.
Now, in the scenario: After attaching the TPAD to the MMU, is it suppose to "dock"/attach to a trunnion pin onto SPAS-01A (is the attachment point made to work in the scenario)? Is the second (MEB) pin present?
I assume a similar attachment is expected in next mission STS-41C, to a pin onto SMM.
Thanks.
