<<STS-27 , 25 October 2010 , 10:25:00 UT>>
Space Shuttle discovery lifted off on mission STS-27 to deliver starboard adapter S5 that will allow attachment of the final array set in early 2011, and MPLM-2 that will substitute MPLM-1 as a storage module with a capability of fuel storage of 1000 kg, 600 kg more than the previous one.
4 EVAs are scheduled:
-EVA1: attachment of the S5 segment to S4.
-EVA2: temporary docking of MPLM-2 to the port side of Multi-docking module.
-EVA3: removal of MPLM-1 from S side and safe of it into shuttle bay.
-EVA4: relocation of MPLM-2 from P side to S side of M-d Module.
Crew members are Commander Keane and pilot Brennon, and Miss.Spec.Shinichi, Conan, Wellmann, Herschel.
<<STS-27 Update , 27 Oct. 2010 , 04:50:03 UT>>
Discovery reached Celestia Space Station and successfully docked to PMA-2.
<<STS-27 Update 2 , 27 Oct. 2010 , 16:09:00 UT>>
Solar arrays were set to allow enough electrical output to allow conjoint operations, and also to allow work on the starboard side: both port sets were extended together with both Russian Modules arrays, while starboard set was stopped and will be soon retracted.
<<STS-27 EVA1 , 28 Oct. 2010 , 09:40:00 UT>>
Miss.Spec.Conan conducted 1st EVA and guided succesfull attachment of S5 truss adapter to S4 segment.
Eva lasted 2,5 orbits, 3 hours:45 minutes.
<<STS-27 EVA2 , 30 Oct. 2010>>
The MPLM-2 was rised into space and temporaly docked with port hatch of Multi-dock Module, during Spec.Wellmann's EVA lasted 3 hours.
<<STS-27 EVA3 , 01 Oct. 2010 , 03:05:00 UT>>
MPLM-1 has been removed from it's position on starboard side of M-d Mod.and put into shuttle bay for return on Earth together with Discovery; operations lasted
4h:30m.
<<STS-27 EVA4 , 03 Oct. 2010 , 11:30:00 UT>>
MPLM-2 has been relocated on its final position on the starboard side of the Multi-docking Module.During the next 2 days solar arrays will be redeployed and systems checked.
<<STS-27 Update 3 , 05 NOV. 2010 , 04:00:00 UT>>
Discovery undocked from the Celestia Station perfectly on time and performed the scheduled flyaround during the lighted half orbit.
Then performed an evasive manouver to change its orbit for the next 2 days indipendent flight before landing.
<<STS-27 Update 4 , 07 NOV. 2010 , 08:54:25 UT>>
Discovery touched down on runway 15 at Cape Canaveral early this morning (LT), ending a successfull STS-27 mission, and bringing back to Earth the crew and MPLM-1 into its bay.
Mission duration: 13days : 22hours : 30minutes
Mean orbital duration: 92 mins.
Mean orbital altitude 365 km
Number of orbits: 218
Km flown: 9.223.144 Km
