Mission preview: Atlantis to launch Russian mini module
BY WILLIAM HARWOOD
STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS "SPACE PLACE" & USED WITH PERMISSION
Posted: May 12, 2010
http://spaceflightnowplus.com/hd/images/sts132missionoverviewHD.jpg
The shuttle Atlantis is poised for launch Friday on its 32nd and final planned mission, a three-spacewalk flight to the International Space Station to install a new Russian module, a backup Ku-band dish antenna and six massive batteries to replace aging power packs in one of the station's solar arrays.
The shuttle's six-man, all-veteran crew also will deliver needed supplies and equipment as NASA stages its final three shuttle missions to complete the assembly of the lab complex by late this year or early next.
"Twelve days, three EVAs, tons of robotics, we're putting on spares that will make us feel good about the long-term sustainability of ISS, we're replacing batteries that have been up there for a while, docking a Russian-built ISS module," said shuttle Program Manager John Shannon. "This flight has a little bit of everything.
On board for the 132nd shuttle mission will be commander Kenneth T. Ham, pilot Dominic A. Antonelli, flight engineer Michael T. Good, Stephen G. Bowen, Piers J. Sellers and Garrett E. Reisman, who spent three months aboard the space station in 2008.
Reisman, Good and Bowen will work in two-man teams for three planned spacewalks to install the backup antenna, the solar array batteries and other equipment. Sellers, who will operate the station's robot arm during the spacewalks, will assist Reisman on the arm during installation of the Russian mini-research module, or MRM-1, on the fifth day of the mission.

Sembra che un problema con un cuscinetto di una delle telecamere a bordo possa configurare un "constraint" per il lancio. La cosa risalirebbe a martedì, quando è stato trovato il cuscinetto nel compartimento di coda.
1738 GMT (1:38 p.m. EDT)
A technical constraint is being worked by the launch team. It relates a camera ball bearing that's been under discussion for a couple of days. But the issue has been elevated and is now a hurdle for clearing Atlantis to launch today.
1753 GMT (1:53 p.m. EDT)
The issue under discussion is a 1/8th inch ball bearing found in the payload bay before the doors were closed for flight earlier this week. At the time, it was not believed to be part of flight hardware. But subsequent engineering work shows it could be associated with a ball bearing pin on one of Atlantis' payload bay cameras. The team is talking through the situation and making sure the shuttle can fly as-is at 2:20 p.m. EDT today.
Il constraint per il lancio è stato rimosso! Il sistema è "tetherato" (assicurato da un cavo di sicurezza):
1759 GMT (1:59 p.m. EDT)
Engineers have determined there is no structural concern for the ball bearing pin, if that's where the ball bearing found in the payload bay originated. The recommendation is clearing the constraint and proceeding with launch.
1807 GMT (2:07 p.m. EDT)
NASA launch director Mike Leinbach has conducted his poll and given approval to resume the countdown for liftoff at 2:20 p.m. EDT!
1819:38 GMT (2:19:38 p.m. EDT)
T-minus 31 seconds. AUTO SEQUENCE START! The handoff has occurred from the Ground Launch Sequencer to the space shuttle. Atlantis' computers now controlling.
In the next few seconds, the solid rocket booster hydraulic steering system will be started, the orbiter's body flap and speed brake moved to their launch positions, the firing chain armed. Main engine ignition begins at T-minus 6.6 seconds.
1820:09 GMT (2:20:09 p.m. EDT)
T-minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, main engine ignition, 4, 3, 2, 1 and LIFTOFF! Liftoff of shuttle Atlantis, flying toward retirement on a mission with Russia's mini module bound for the International Space Station!
1821 GMT (2:21 p.m. EDT)
T+plus 2 minutes, 10 seconds. Mission Control confirms a good jettison of the solid rocket boosters has occurred. The spent boosters will parachute into the Atlantic Ocean for retrieval. Atlantis continues its streak toward space on the power generated by the three liquid-fueled main engines.
1828 GMT (2:28 p.m. EDT)
T+plus 8 minutes, 39 seconds. MECO. Main Engine Cutoff confirmed!
1830 GMT (2:30 p.m. EDT)
T+plus 10 minutes. Atlantis has safely arrived in space for its final planned voyage after a quarter-century of flight. The vehicle's rich history already includes 282 days in space, 4,462 orbits and 115 million miles during 31 flights.
Che avrei dato per essere lì...

Bittersweet blastoff sends Atlantis back into space
http://spaceflightnow.com/news/images/ni1005/14atlantis_400267.jpg
Beginning what's potentially its final voyage before retirement after 25 years of spaceflight, shuttle Atlantis unleashed seven million pounds of Earth-shaking thrust when countdown clocks struck zero at 2:20 p.m. EDT today and rocketed toward Sunday's intercept with the International Space Station. The 12-day flight with an all-veteran crew will install a new Russian mini module and perform spacewalks to tackle outdoor improvements around the complex.

In an interview with CBS News early Thursday, Ham said he was especially pleased with the "Rassvet" module's docking by shuttle astronaut Garrett Reisman, operating the space station's robot arm, because of the complexities inherent in the task.
"As you remember from our conversation a few weeks ago, as I went through all of the intricacies of the operation that had to happen to get MRM (mini-research module) docked and talking to space station, I started scaring myself talking to you!" Ham joked. "Making sure that happened (Tuesday) with the crew, everybody working together, everyone on the ground, it turned out to be absolutely fantastic. We were elated.

Cargo pallet returned to Atlantis from space station
BY WILLIAM HARWOOD
Astronauts Piers Sellers and Garrett Reisman, operating the space station's robot arm, moved a cargo pallet loaded with old solar array batteries back to the shuttle Atlantis' cargo bay Saturday for return to Earth.

Working at the robotics work station inside the station's multi-window cupola, Sellers and Reisman began moving the integrated cargo carrier back to the shuttle just after 4:30 a.m., completing the operation at 5:50 a.m.
For launch, the ICC was loaded with a backup Ku-band dish antenna, an 8-foot antenna boom, an equipment storage platform and six new batteries to replace outdated power packs in the station's far left solar array.
The antenna, its support boom and the equipment platform were moved to the space station during a spacewalk Monday. The new batteries were installed during spacewalks Wednesday and Friday and the old batteries were bolted to the ICC for return to Earth.
"The shuttle crew has mainly got all their eyes on the robotics and what's happening there," said space station Flight Director Scott Stover. "Additionally, both shuttle and station crew will be cleaning up all the EVA tools and equipment. Some of that equipment has to come back on the shuttle, including some of the suits, so we're going to be transferring a lot of that from the space station airlock back over to Atlantis.
"At the same time, we've got some stage EVAs coming up, probably in July, so we have to make sure the space station airlock is in a good config so whenever we go out the door in July, we're ready to go.
"Of course, the most important thing we do on the space station is all the science," he said. "So all of the space station crew members and a few of the shuttle crew members will be partaking in experiments and all kinds of activities, just to make sure we're keeping that science going."
After answering video questions from school kids at 7:40 a.m., the combined 12-member shuttle-station crew planned to share a joint meal at 8 a.m. The Atlantis astronauts looked forward to two and a half hours of off-duty time starting at 11:05 a.m. with crew sleep on tap at 4:50 p.m.
Atlantis is scheduled to undock from the International Space Station around 11:22 a.m. Sunday.

Purtroppo oggi non penso di farcela a dare ulteriori aggiornamenti :(
DEORBIT BURN IGNITION. Flying upside down and backwards above Indonesia, Atlantis has begun the deorbit burn. The firing of the twin Orbital Maneuvering System engines on the tail of the shuttle will last three minutes and five seconds, slowing the craft by about 225 mph to slip from orbit. The retro-burn will send Atlantis to Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a pinpoint touchdown at 8:48 a.m. EDT.
1145 GMT (7:45 a.m. EDT)
DEORBIT BURN COMPLETE. Atlantis has successfully completed the deorbit burn for the trip back home. Landing is scheduled for 8:48 a.m. EDT at the Cape to conclude this mission to the space station and Atlantis' final scheduled flight.
Missione compiuta!
Grazie Atlantis!

Per la STS-134 preparano anche la STS-335 (missione di recupero) o no?
Se non ci sarà la STS-335 come faranno in caso dei problemi sulla Endeavour?

Atlantis ora verrà processato/preparato nella sua OPF appunto per l'eventuale missione di soccorso nel caso si renda necessaria. Nel momento in cui verrà dichiarato che Endeavour può rientrare senza problemi allora termineranno i lavori di preparazione e cominceranno quelli per la futura esposizione in museo. :cry:

27-05-2010, 09:42
Se non sbaglio, le missioni LON saranno:
- STS-334 con Endeavour
- STS-335 con Atlantis
