NASA Spacewalk to Replace Space Station Antenna

Mar 26, 2024
foreigner, good morning and welcome, this is Houston Mission Control. They are now watching live from the search team airlock inside the International Space Station, where preparations are being made to begin a six-and-a-half-hour, single-task

space

walk. Our

space

walkers today are NASA astronauts. Tom Marshburn and Kayla Barron are now on the other side of the hatch in what is known as the crew lock when they come into view. Tom Marshburn will wear the red striped suit and Kayla Baron will wear a white striped suit or Unmarked Space Suit, they are not visible on screen now the two launched to the space

station

as part of the Crew 3 mission earlier this month .

Right now on your screen you can see Mark Vandehyde and Roger Chari, they will be flying in and out of sight. as they help marshburn and baron get their Eva up and running brand vandehei on your screen now in the pants, well rajachari is wearing green shorts Baron and marshburn have completed the process of putting on the suit in preparation for exiting the airlock Quest from the space

station

, we caught biraja on The task you will complete today is to

replace

a faulty communications

In one, in one minute you will be hot. microphones in space to earth one the sauce fell off sometime in mid-September but fortunately there is already a spare on board the outside of the space station and the station has other methods of communication Wilco rajatari just talks about how we are A six Minutes into depressurization again, astronauts Kayla Baron and Tom Marshburn are on the other side of the door there at the crew lock preparing for depressurization. Do step 81 while we wait for you to get to 376. Coffee, us. You're okay, our spacewalkers today are advancing ahead of schedule.

We hope to get out the door a little sooner. So how do Baron and Marshburn

replace

the Sasa? What will you do first today? They will reach the robotic arm and install it and configure it and set up the work site on the express logistics carrier 3 where the spare Sasa lives, then they will remove the failed Sasa in the shell from Port 1 of the station and store it temporarily, recover the spare and they will install it. Then they will store the failed sassa where the spare once was on the express logistics carrier serial number zero zero two zero zero zero two two and sail with a hot mic overseas.

They will conclude their Eve by cleaning up their workplace and from the space walkers. They're starting early this morning, maybe they'll have time to do some advance work. Thank you. You just heard NASA astronaut Jessica Meer wishing the team good luck this morning. Thanks airlock to Raja. You have to go to step 77 70. -79 good words, okay Kayla, you can check that the pressed power switch is off. Years Sherlock waiting for your passage to step 80. The flight director is now sounding out if they want to depressurize the alien. We are in a brief but expected transfer. period, but between satellites, flight director Vincent McCourt is in Mission Control today and is in the process of sounding out his flight directors to see if we're going for depressurization.
One is waiting your step for step 80. 30 seconds right now, flight director Vincent Lacourt. is visible in your view sitting next to him as astronaut Drew Morgan, who will serve as Earth's IV today. You may hear the voice of NASA astronaut Johnny Kim, who will speak. He will be Tom in the cap today. Sherlock Houston. Russia, you have to go. depressed except 80. You're going for crew lockout depression cards and we just got official confirmation that we're going for depressurization. This debate is expected to take about 30 minutes. Okay, let's switch the fender isolation valve open. wait for a warning zone The ISO valve is open, good for both of you, Tom and Kayla check your DCMs to monitor the suit pressure gauge is less than five decimal places, five ever goes more than five decimal places, let's stop the pace , press at the top. from Houston when crew lockout is at six, expect an alert tone.
Roger the depressurization is now officially underway during the depressurization the pressure will be reduced to 5 PSI then they will pause and do a system check with Mission Control Houston and a suit check to make sure there are no leaks if all goes Well, since the expected depressurization will continue to vacuum, they will do one more check and receive an attempt to power up their internal battery suits, which is the official start time of the spacewalk, the PSI of the crew lock is now about 12 12.2 and is falling steadily. Oh, I introduced you earlier to Flight Director Vincent Lacour, our Capcom Johnny Johnny Kim, and our Ground IV, Drew Morgan, another key player in today's operation is Art Thomason, the Eva officer overseeing this mission.
Eva is located for extravicular activity, which is a fancy way of saying spacewalk, the two can be used interchangeably during this morning's coverage. Thomason offers a more detailed animated view of the steps Baron and Marshburn will take to complete today's operations. Let's take a look at both US Eva 78s. Crew members will work together to replace a faulty S-band antenna. ev1 will be Tom Marshburn wearing the red striped suit. ev2 will be Kayla Baron wearing the white striped suit. ev1 will lead by going to Cedar Spur and translating. In phase one, he will there begin setting up the robotic arm.
The second will follow the same path, initially moving to phase one and then continuing with Zenith, passing the failed S-band antenna and exiting to express logistics carrier number three once at its work site. He will put away two bags and then retrieve a stiff strap. This belt will be installed on the front face of the logistics conveyor. It will be used to temporarily store the degraded antenna while it is taken to the transporter later on Eva ev1. She will configure the robot. arm by installing a portable footrest and then we will enter that footrest and prepare for the arm movement. 82 we will continue with some preparation work on the express logistics carrier and then move it to a downgraded Sasa or S-band antenna ev1 then provide guidance to the robotic arm to take it to its next workplace, while ev2 will release three connectors that provide heater energy, functional energy and data.
One will put gimbal locks in place, these will prevent the antenna from moving while being moved from one side to the other. P1 to Express Logistics carrier, these four bolts will be driven by the pistol grip tool. DB1 will then have the robotic arm rotate them towards the side of the S-band antenna handrail while ev2 releases the stud bolt that secures the antenna to the structure, once the bolt is released the crew will work together to release the antenna and eb1 will be moved to the robotic arm to express logistics transporter number three. Both crew members will work together to temporarily stow away this S-band antenna and that rigid tether they will be wearing. then they will begin to prepare the spare so that it can be taken to P1.
They will remove a thermal blanket. They will store it in a secluded location that provides thermal conditioning for the unit. They each have two bolts to release and they will use a special tool called a right angle drive to access those bolts, the two will be moved into position to drive the two remaining bolts. A pistol grip tool will be used for that too, these are called mast bolts. There is a soft spring to overcome. Once this is passed, eb1 will gain control of the spare unit and we will then ride the arm to job site P1.
Once at the P1 work site, both crew members will work together to dock it smoothly or temporarily remain in the armor. while vd2 drives a strut bolt which will secure it in place 82 you will then reconnect the three connectors that provide heater power, functional power and data, one will even release the four gimbal locks at this point the antenna will be free to track satellites to allow good communication. between the space station and the ground, once the crew has left the workplace, they will perform a check on this antenna. Both crew members will return to the number three overseas logistics carrier, at which point they will work together for Stow. the degraded unit returns to the flight releasable attachment mechanism or Fram is how these orbital use or replacement units are brought to the space station.
This has heating power that helps keep it alive. 82 will activate two bolts to secure it to the structure. Are they called mast bolts? Once those bolts are in, the final step will be to install a thermal blanket that will provide thermal conditioning and keep this degraded unit available as a spare if it is ever needed. DB1 will then ride away from the workplace on the robot. arm and heads towards the truss 82 then will collect the bags and tools at the workplace. Put them in your body restraint strap to return to the airlock and we can store those bags while ev-1 will dismount the robotic arm and remove the portable footrest and return it to the starboard seat of the cart, this is where you picked it up at the beginning of the Eva and then one will return to the airlock and both are Ingress and this will conclude. us eba 78. foreign officer art thomason provides a voiceover for the animation describing today's tasks we are back live in the rajatari crew airlock equipment lock with the green shorts on the left of the screen and Mark Vande high up on the right Marshburn and Baron are on the other side of the hatch in the crew lock while the depressurization is underway, the pressure is approaching 5 PSI, at which point they will pause and they will do some overseas system checks.
This will be the 245th spacewalk in support of space station assembly maintenance and upgrades. It will be astronaut Tom Marshburn's fifth spacewalk. He completed 24 hours and 29 minutes of spacewalking on his four previous Evas. It will be Kayla Baron's first spacewalk of her career. This is the first spacewalk of Expedition 66 which began in mid-October and today's operation will mark the 13th spacewalk of 2021. Foreign is now walking our spacewalkers through a system that verifies which does the same . A good switch shows the Yes position. Hold it for two seconds and follow the displayed instructions. The foreign actuator is happy with the EPA.
The O2 actuator for ev2 is an Eva Tom. I. You may have already started writing. Get it, it hasn't worked for anyone yet. I will expand my participation a little more. Strange actuator failure that usually happens when you put it on. It is not like this. completely in position, so try to get it completely in the correct position Eva, they should say o2x3 or Eva taking a bit of strange was originally scheduled for Tuesday, November 30, however, the night before, NASA received a notification valve of waste to open both can wait for an alert tone, open standby, okay, the emergency empath here is open for both, monitor that the two pressure gauges remain within five decimal places, five in good condition, the lock of the crew is at 2 PSI, we are going to make a deep change in the manual isolation of the pressure pump D. return valve to close two copies in upsi we will take the deep press something nice about to close that was astronaut Mark Vande High communicating that the controls were fine after the planned hold at 5 PSI we continued lowering the crew lock to Vacuum is now approximately 4 PSI.
NASA had originally planned the spacewalk for Tuesday, November 30, but the night before NASA received a debris notification for the International Space Station due to a lack of opportunity to properly assess the risk it could pose to astronaut teams. . decided to delay the spacewalk until more information was available, however, NASA determined that the orbit of the debris did not pose a risk to the spacewalk scheduled by Tom Marshburn and Kayla Baron or to the operations of the International Space Station. Delaying the spacewalk provided an opportunity for NASA. to assess the risk of debris reporting, the space station's schedule and operations were able to easily adapt to the delay of the foreign spacewalk, eh, although this also proved flawed, the crews had no problems communicating with Mission Control In Houston, the International Space Station has built several redundancies so that in case something happensalways have a way to communicate with the crew even though this antenna going fake hasn't had a big impact on the astronauts.
Those responsible for the mission decided to go ahead and plan the spacewalk to ensure communications. and redundancy, okay Kayla, we are seeing the crew lock out at 2 PSI. Go ahead and change the manualization of the defense bomb and inform your initial tether configuration for departure. Tom, would you like to meet us there or would you like to go first? I'll start with them. I need my voiceover, Roger, my goodness, but for ev1 on the right, my right knee extensor and my weight is not small. The hook is closed and puts a lot, we are talking white sugar, it is closed and locked on Kayla's hook for everyone and her book. closed and locked also now going to my left now on my left the left D ring extender is on my red hook which is closed and locked on the red spool my yellow hook is closed and locked on the green spool the green hook is closed and not locked on the red spool of my anchor Motor reel hook along the Roger mini workstation and for ev2 I have a single wave cutter that is packaged with the small hooks on my right D ring extender a closed side of the skate or locked my waist strap the alarm clock is connected to the airlock steering extender the first fighter blocked by Red Hook and connected to my right display extender close the spider walks my red reel is unlocked The hook yellow is attached to my green rail closed tighter my green reel is unlocked, my green hook is attached to my red wheel and my green hook is unlocked and my anchor hook, as Tom reported, is attached to his waist, a their larger and higher caliber clothing, both have been exchanged.
Okay, that sounds like a good thing, let me check. With Houston, see if they have any questions about the Houston station airlock in one, any questions about the belt configuration. Hi, good morning Mark, we heard a good setup. Sounds great, thanks and for eignt it's about zero you can wait for an alert tone and let me. know when the afternoon half stealth pressure shows less than 0.5 PSI free 1.2 original at this time and the same on the gauge Mark Vanda High an IV suit for this operation by simply confirming with our spacewalkers that they have a good custom tether configuration that the crew lock goes down to vacuum, we're at about 1.2 PSI for now this morning, Baron and Marshburn completed a pre-breathing exercise, they breathed 100 oxygen, they weren't in their spacesuits yet, they just threw on a mask to purge the nitrogen from their bodies, the next part of that exercise is The next part involves doing a light exercise or going down the hallway this time in their space suits so everything is complete before we go on air today.
These are moves they did as another way to increase their metabolic rate and purge excess nitrogen from their blood. It helps them acclimatize the body to the lower pressure of the suit by doing so, making spacewalking astronauts avoid bending over or suffering from decompression sickness. This is something divers on Earth may be familiar with. Now we're talking about the PSI or pounds per square inch in the crew airlock currently it's about 1.1 which we experience here on the ground 14.7 at normal operating pressure the spacesuits are pressurized to about 4.3 PSI which is about what you would experience if you were standing still at an elevation of about 30,000 feet here on Foreign Earth, you are getting a live view of NASA astronauts Rarajatari and Mark Vandehei Chari on the left Amanda Hello on the right, they are known as the IV Suits and they are helping Marshburn and Baron in the process of putting on the suit.
In addition to the IV suits in space, we also have a team of people here in Mission Control who will be supporting Marshburn and Baron today Vincent Lacourt is the lead flight director for today's Sasa spacewalk and NASA astronaut Drew Morgan is serving as an IV on the ground. IV is the one who communicates with Marshburn and Baron during the spacewalk, while Capcom is the person who communicates with the crews left inside. You'll likely hear Morgan's voice quite often as the spacewalkers go through the day's proceedings. point to the eighth copy, of course, we can't forget about European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer, he is not visible now, but he will operate the robotic arm during today's spacewalk.
NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn will carry the robotic arm to and from the Logistics Express carrier number. three depressurizations still underway, crew lock sitting at about 0.7 PSI 3.7 rajatari on the left of the screen was selected to be an astronaut at the same time as first-time spacewalker Kayla Baron, both were selected for the Encore astronaut in 2017 and are part of the Turtle astronaut class, both are the first of their class to fly in space. NASA astronaut Mark Vandehei, right, has plenty of experience in space blocking, although he won't be doing a spacewalk today. He previously performed four spacewalks totaling 26 hours. and 42 minutes, a record that Tom Marshburn will undoubtedly surpass today.
We'll be answering your questions during the six and a half hours of operation today, so if you have any questions about spacesuits for the spacewalk or antenna system replacement today, head over to Twitter and submit yours using Ask NASA. Hi Tom, we're showing less than 0.5 PSI to open the hatch, but after opening the hatch, make sure you pause for a second before opening and stowing the EV hatch, probably climbing up the hatch and falling. for a second before opening it, any latches are happy to match, unless they are, and when opening the hatch, let me know if you want me to adjust my body position.
Tom, okay, working between the handle and the on this program, anytime, let me know when you do it. I have that hatch stowed and they had to be stowed in the hatch guard, ok the emergency m pev is closed. Tom and Kayla go crush it today. We're looking forward to seeing him back inside safely and celebrating his successes, um, take care. of yourselves and with that, Drew, what was it?, have a good day with them, okay, Mark, good day, Drew, hey, thanks Mark Raja for getting us to this point. Tom Kayla. Good morning, we are all very excited to be with you.
We are in the post-depression part. from the reference card now and with that on your dcms, if you were to switch power to battery, step your switch and you can expect a warning tone with that job. I confirm that it is in it. What am I not? Here, it's okay and I understand that you both have a battery if you check that your screen switches work. Network: is the switch that works for one essential? Okay, Kayla for you at UIA, if you turn off the power to ev1 and ev2. both and then verify that all four LEDs are off.
Roger and Mark turn on or Evie one and two are off. All four LEDs are off. Okay, copy and then in your DCM you can disconnect your SCU from your DCM. We are connecting a DCM or my sdu. it's disconnected from the vcm and working on putting it back in the bag in its place, okay copy, you guys are working on the DCM covers and covers as well as the su's in the bag, and I have a message from Upp High What is expected, Drew, yes, Kayla. we're tracking and uh, that's expected, yeah Kayla, that's an expected message, you're just going to breathe it in a little and uh, my SVU is lying in the bag, my DCM cover is in place for ev1, my sdu it's in the bag and just getting it out of our way, okay, it looks like you're both in a good setup, let's complete the correct copy and then Kayla, if you can get the manual ISO isolation valve on the pump to close, okay, then , guys.
We'd both check his TCVs and we're going to take them to Max Hot and that's towards his head and we'll work at 5 15am. m. central time, the 13th spacewalk of the year and the first spacewalk of Expedition 66 has officially begun. Hey, let's turn your Waters to the on position which is around the time of your body the spacewalkers are ahead of schedule, they were originally scheduled to start at six o'clock, they are about an hour ahead, 3v2 DCM is blank, okay, coffee, you guys can configure your tcvs however you want. If you just give us an estimate of where you're setting up for a seven six setting and for two, I'm also going to start at six.
Okay, copy of both. If you could check the P gauge of your suit and tell us what you think. see pajamas for what is 4.2 or 28 is 4.4 and it is slowly decreasing, well, copy, those are good numbers and we will probably go out around the sun, it will come out shortly, so the necessary visors, as you see there, It will come out happily over America South and it's dark outside right now Kayla, okay Tom, yeah, you're going to open the thermal hatch cover and you can unclip that D-ring hook and then attach it to that storage attachment point you see there and if you make sure to adjust the straps so that you see approximately six lines 5 15 a. m. central time 6 3 p.m. m.
ET is the official spacewalk start time marking the start of the 245th spacewalk in support of the space station Assembly and maintenance Baron and Marshburn are expected to spend about six and a half hours replacing an antenna system faulty communications network called Sasa in the trust structure of port 1, Earth IV. Drew Morgan told the spacewalkers to wait for an orbital day and I can see six lines of this copy of the stove listen Open to the thermal cover of the thermal hatch, yeah, go ahead, okay, it's open, okay, Tom, go to the exit and then if you connect the anchor hook to the front external D-ring, we'll be ready for your checks.
Easy, I have my anchor hook clothes and good luck with the Ford external airlock copy, you and Tom are going to connect Kayla's now to the AFT external D-ring and we will be ready for those checks, we may listen to our land IV. Drew Morgan refers to the astronauts as ev1 and ev2. Tom Marshburn is designated as ev1 while Kayla Baron is ev2. Tom wears the red striped suit while Baron wears the unmarked suit. Okay, I understand you're safe inside right now. I waste others. means where the airlock or airlock was during the extension Hi Kayla, you have the db2 anchor hook closed and locked on the airlock f Carl, listen to it Roger, um, where can I get out of your way?
I'm getting into position to transfer your crew lock bag. number one on your way Al and Tom, we hear you're both in good leash setup, you can give Kayla a chance to release her waste leash at any time and I understand you guys are working on the bag so we'll stay away from that. Guys, you have a plan and we will support Kayla. They will release him when they can, when they want. There's the bed. I can't prepare my VRT. If you look closely at the top of the screen, you can see. Tom Marshburn, the NASA astronaut wearing the spacesuit with the red stripes is the first one out the door, okay, copy, now it's astronaut Kayla Baron who is inside the crew lock and still working to get Tom Marshburn some equipment they'll need all day before she leaves.
Walk out the door and bye-bye, you're done, and in fact, if you keep a close eye on it, once you've got your bondage, you can let it go and I'll give it back to you. My rent is on Roger, who is looking to free yours. His office goes back to Thank you, I've got it and I'll put it in the airlock during the center, okay, go ahead and get your visors ready. The sun is rising. I see it happening fast. The survivor is down and Tom, if that's okay with you. I'm going to stick my feet out the hatch while I work on my bag, yeah, clearly I'm with me if we need that lighter down but down and Tom, while you're out there, you might as well light your heka at work, okay? my brt rep on the eubeg media mower and my intention is to take care of it after me if you're clear, Tom Ulster go ahead now yes, Marshburn got the signal to turn on his copy heca Tom and Kayla, we see you're coming out, the sun is coming .
Up, you'll be right over South America here in a couple of minutes brother extender and I'm coming out Tom, are you okay? I see you, that's me, look a little closer at the top of your screen, there you can see the NASA astronaut. Kayla Baron going out on her spacewalk, the first spacewalk of her career, she tied my waist and I'm going to start working on getting medium back into my brt, okay, we didn't copy anything foreign. Caleb Baron will be tasked with closing the hatch. thermal cover that they went through earlier make sure you send me under the other side of the bag here okay I need it okay Caleb looking at you I see, I don't see even a big light,You still have your phone, no, but I'll do it now Europe I see two green lights, the red lights are on I'm looking I want your jaw on your left I see three tabs facing up and the right paper handles facing down The left handle is facing down and I see your weight filter on the door handrail closed and your safety buddy seems to be in good configuration in your bag Oru is well placed on your left better and for you Tom I see some green lights one for w2cs one for heka I see three tabs up I see two safety handles crush handles and more secure down and I see your crew zipper bag nicely to your left there on your brt and your straps appear to be in a good configuration and my baseline hat check is that my half is dry and, on the one hand, my half is dry.
Also, okay guys, yeah guys, that sounds like a good buddy check and we hear the mid-bass lines of just take a look at your gloves, let us know what they look like and then we've budgeted some break-in time of the translation, take it as you will. you need it um and we'll stay here quietly and you guys let us know and for Evie on my Unchained gloves from earlier they were pristine and for ev2 I got a nice gold check from Baseline they look great okay okay Kayla and if you would . Never mind just closing the thermal hatch covers and if that doesn't stick to the magnet you can also use that cable tie that's right there on the handrail zero five five four Baron is now tasked with closing the thermal hatch cover through which they pass.
Although they have just completed the bunny checks, they are done periodically, as if the magnets are working well, that is good news and we will be attentive to the adaptation of the translation. These buddy checks are used to check on your colleagues walking around the space, uh, the camera, making sure it's on the tethers. and the tools are still in a good configuration, you will also periodically hear a call for the crew member to do a check on the gloves, who also just completed the spacewalk. Astronauts must be careful with any sharp edges or small objects that could damage the integrity of their gloves, so they often need to stop and inspect them.
They also received the signal to activate their hiccas. This means high-definition extra-vehicular activity. Mobility unit camera assembly. That's a fancy way of saying they ask the astronauts to turn on their HD cameras. Well, this allows us to sometimes see the operation from an astronaut's point of view. You'll know we're using Hecka cameras when you see the number 22 in the corner. This means you're seeing the spacewalk through Tom Marshburn's eyes. Tom, we got caught in our hand there, you'll see a number 16 on your screen when Kayla Baron's amazing views show up and we let you know we're ready if you guys are, Drew, sorry guys, we got caught. in one hand there, but yes, you are going to start your translation.
I know they know where they are going. I can, uh, head over to the starboard seat of the car, Tom, and you can tell us where. You decide to put Fair cables on the base of the spur seat and then Kayla you head to elc3 and we will contact you when you get to your green hook. We have a couple of cautions and warnings to read to your mile marker 8420 affirmative uh Taylor about the moment your feet are on pmm you will be looking for mile marker 8420 and that is where you will head to the zenith Roger wanted to see this first copy Tom who , uh, leaving that base, wait at the circular railing until you're pretty thin foreign top filter Andrew copy Tom and your first national we just tempt Stone your crew zipper bag and that'll be in the area where you see, although it's usually okay, um, I'm coming after you in the toolboxes, okay, I'm heading to see the stimulus, yeah, I see that looks great, the astronauts are now heading to their respective workstations outside the space station.
Kayla Baron will take a path to the ex, the one you see in blue here on her screen to external logistics carrier number three where the spare sassa is mounted. Tom Marshburn will take the shortest path in red in the bottom third of your screen to Canada's arm to the robotic arm once set up. European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer will do it. he controls the robotic arm and takes Marshburn to the job site. He copies that. Tom and I can give you a specific mile marker if you're looking for it, but I think if you look over there and Brian you'll be able to see where.
Lee okay, coffee, looks like we're getting our first helmet cam of the day. You can see the number 16 in the corner, indicating that this is the point of view of NASA astronaut Kayla Baron. She's on her way to third party logistics carrier number three on the cedar rail getting ready to leave Port too okay I'll let my safety cover stay under you it's good for me Kathy okay guys I see your progress looks good. Baron will actually go through the defective S band. antenna going to express logistics carrier number three, copy that Tom and we think it's probably going to be around mile marker 86.70, anywhere there is good for your track blocking bag, okay, here's FDA 1986 70.
I'm going to put that on my lock screen back here, copy that Kayla and you'll head over to Zenith and you'll see the GPS antennas. I see it, Andrew, okay, and the next thing you want to look for is the fpmu and then you look for a handrail at the base of that. 3613 for your green hook and while you set your green hook I will give you those precautions and warnings once Baron gets there she will work to put two work bags that she brought with her in the car seat and look for one to grab. that's true, she will also take out a strap and install it on the elc3.
It will be used later to temporarily save the faulty sassa. You're on my handrail eight six one or correction three six one three. Okay you can leave your green hook at that time, if you look to the port side you will see the UHF antenna and the charge, you thread the needle there, we just want you to avoid contact with both if you have inadvertent contact with the charge, let us know know that we may have to stay still for a couple of minutes, Roger, and then the last warning I'll have for you is when you get in elc3's face while you're climbing.
I have one more for you. the acrylic bag is on 10th Road right in front of the NPA and I'm heading further out sounds good Tom see you at the whip a copy buddy my green hook is down in three six one three in direction copy outside that Taylor everything sounds great we're now getting live views from helmet cam number two that belongs to Tom Marshburn okay Tom and it's there on that with then I'll bring him back to the army and I've already passed the UHS antenna tequila. You can see the word Ceta on your screen which means crew and equipment translation.
The Marshburn aid will stop here to set up the robotic arm. This involves installing a laptop. footrest and uses it to position yourself inside the robotic arm, the portable footrest is stored here on the Sita once installed and, with the approval of a flight director, it will be ready to move to the Matthias Maurer controls from the portable footrest. the restraint is outside the station Marshburn didn't have to bring the foot restraint with him he will install it back on the seat and once the spacewalk is over Hi Kayla and one of our camera views we thought What we saw, maybe your D5 camera was hanging. a little low and we just wanted you to check to make sure it wasn't caught on anything ok thanks for the check though the copy that has been working on getting the apfr out copy that Tom and I are getting close to the base of vlc3 okay Kayla, this is just a reminder about the thesis, where did you go up to the outside face of the ELC?
It's in the top right corner of the Zenith Corner app. We just want to avoid contact with that thing. How come you avoid contact with yourself? on lc3 heading to phoenix, okay, you're exactly where we expected you to be, you're doing great. I know you have your checklist of items that we're going to go through and we want to get that. Medium Bag Oru crew zipper bag ready I can give you any additional words you need there, then we want to move that ball stack mod to 8708 and we'll catch up with you after that. I've got what I need and I'll check it out and if I have any questions I've definitely run out of black on black for the Epi from the riser but the pedals aren't currently pressing it works like it's too far from copy time checking how I move to see if I'm loading it sideways anyway, yeah Tom, that's a good call.
NASA astronaut Kayla Baron is now tasked with saving two pieces of work she brought with her. She will also attach a strap and install it on the elc3, which will be used later. Temporarily put away the Sasa, hey Tom, we're, so we want to try to circumferentially go around that collar with your hands and then go all the way through its range of motion, use both hands if you can, just to cycle the collar, I just see. Yeah, I got a little further then, the titles are depressing, now you're watching NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn live as he sets up the portable footrest, all in preparation to go to the robotic arm and re-lock the crew, it sounds brilliant.
Hey Kayla copy that see you on the arm and Kayla for you if you don't mind check your light hecka for us and then reset it if you don't see it on here the light is on right? I still like that it turns it on and on, yeah, Kayla, if you did, uh, two presses of the button. NASA astronaut Drew Morgan, our terrestrial IV today is working with astronaut Kayla Baron to turn on her camera, this allows us to see the Eva from Kayla Baron's point of view, if you are just joining us today, two NASA astronauts are on a spacewalk outside the International Space Station, they will be working with the Sasa or s-band and tana subset.
Roger, I'm doing well. here and I'm going to run a credit card checklist page into the field. I'm ready to move uh away. Okay, we are ready for GCA to publish the apfr installation position. We are ready. We'll be alert. Okay Roger, I'm ready for CCA to release for the apsr installation. Ed on hold, no, you guys go, we're going to retire and while you guys work, Kayla knows what she needs to do, so the column is hers. ready for Jeep apfr installation position which will be about half a meter Nader and about one meter after setting it up.
I'll let you know when the back move starts Tom, that's a good move about 10 centimeters ago and here comes your station next. Halfway through the move, you're now getting a great view of Canadarm 2, the robotic arm that will be used for today's operation. NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn will carry the robotic arm to and from work sites and I copied it, uh, I think so, that's a good read. back Tom, yeah, that's good and the installation status is 12 and we're hoping that probably the pitch and yaw are already set up, but yeah, we'll take a confirmation on that once it's installed.
Yes, I can confirm that the pitch is good and We'll check the rest in a moment, the robotic arm movements made today by European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer, hey, people are black on black, but turn these good tests of traction and tilt knob is no, let's talk about the chicken. On fox number six, good check so far, Tom and Kayla, we got you back, so your actions were successful, thank you, sure, he is now an astronaut working with Issa astronaut Matthias Maurer to set up the robotic arm over the one who is now flying the space station. the ocean and will soon reach the east coast of Sierra Leone.
Six foreign aliens have been confirmed, which looks like his APR is in a good setup, so we're going to ask him to retrieve his crew zip bag and put it in his brt and then I'll do it. I'll be ready to talk to you about changing the strap to the arm, okay, copy that's for Sao. I have the muffle segment stage at 8708, moving on to the next test, the strut mounting bolt is being prepared, looking good so far, Kayla, while I. I'm here, I'll get the copy of the quarter turn bras that you're going to use for that three quarter turn class, Andrew.
I'm going to get the two neatest ones and save the others for when I get to the other side or when Tom is here. both of us, you know, okay, copy that, Kayla, so could you give us a total? So you've already worked. Two in total were removed, copy that foreigner, yes. Master astronaut Kayla Barron is now working to attach some layers of insulation to the spare. sassa this is a task that will help you later on your walkDrew space. Got good PGT checks. Cal. complete and I'm ready for PGT setup for Bolta block expansion support.
Okay, we're also looking for Bravo 7 clockwise. I'll be driving this boat here. I have the Bravos Bravo room clockwise so it's okay. We waited nine to ten turns and hoped and hoped that he would return when he was completely released. Other initial spins for nine percent spins and I have. nine to ten turns um there's play in it now so it's coming back as expected uh bolt release off the launch or well I guess it was taken off the launch block okay that's great news and you can go ahead and save your PGT and then you can start working on the rest and the adjustables.
I already have a stage for the dye and the shell. I'm going to work nzgl Taps and then prepare the reduced shirt strap and stuff that sounds good, you're listening. the voice of NASA astronaut Kayla Baron as she communicates with our ground IV Drew Morgan about some tasks the elc3 will help prepare the spare Sasa to be moved so I'm getting back in touch with you and we're just looking for when we you say your green hook is blocked, I can explain the other steps or you can continue working. I'm really into the green hook right now, okay, copy a green hook, my green hook is locked, okay, I understand your green hook The hook is locked on your red and green spool.
The hook is locked to your red spool, so you can now attach your yellow hook to the arm. Front blade strut and then give us those controls. Yellow hook. Hey, that's not working while NASA astronaut Kayla Baron prepares the replacement. sassa you just heard earth IV Drew Morgan checking in with NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn while setting up the robotic arm looks great Caleb a yellow hook is closed unlocked at the front of the factory General goes for my green I'm going to read it first sounds good just let us know where you put it we're starting to get some views of Earth below the space station is currently passing over the western coast of Mali okay through my green hook for this eight seven nine zero we copy Tom and Drew I'm done assemble the Mli Tether and if you agree, I will start working on removing the front and shell.
We'll go with Kayla's band, a NASA astronaut. I'm working on removing some covers, meanwhile Tom Marshburn is over. preparing to use the robotic arm are you calm as yours is ready for the Indiana posted for the apfr Ingress are you ready to maneuver to GCA to post the position apfr Ingress and this movement will be about half a meter Zenith and yes We could keep an eye out to that in grace aid forest tom we can't see on camera so this t-handed seems to be close to a hand turn while moving xenos just let us know if you do too. close I can move it a little bit there for one I'm going to move it a little bit away from the foreigner now changing its straps to attach to the robotic arm soon it will be placed on the footrest where Matthias Maurer can take it to the workplace.
Both astronauts will meet at the Port 1 trust to eliminate the degraded Sasa. Hey, that's the posted position. What's that look like? Click here GTA Full GTA thank you sir in Congress, okay Tom, you can hold your waist strap and enter, uh to the Entry Aid or in the Entry Aid itself or in the belt Point to your choice and then continue e Enter astronaut apfr Ika Tom Marshburn is visible on the screen, you can see it's him because of the red stripes on his spacesuit that you can see. that his feet are flying free but will soon be attached to the robotic arm. to move it to the gimbal reverse position ready for the maneuver maneuver to the gimbal reverse position the brakes are releasing well, this will be a movement of approximately two meters forward uh, we will let you know which movement begins initial movement movement quite a bit well Tom while you're on the move we'll take a glove and a half here we go 15. let's try it, we can't finish and senators and we're making a joke, how's the road going?
Taylor, it's okay, dad, I have the clam. shoulder movement and tended towards the high pressure gas tank as we expected and I'm working on tents as we talk good job Tom here comes the jocast is mainly Zenith and some movement afterward it will take about two minutes to start the movement very good movement The NASA astronaut Kayla Baron reports that she is wrapping up her duties today at the ELC3 first stop where spare personnel live, removing some layers of insulation and also removing a mounting belt from the launch position strut. We are installing some cameras and they will be ready to maneuver it to the GCA to post the position of the cable.
Great, I'm ready for the literature GPA. Hey, that would be your uh, done, Tom, and with that we'll go ahead and start GCA to publish the gimbal position. It will be approximately to starboard, approximately one meter, and then aft, approximately one and a half meters. There you have it, it's our GTA service and Melissa, what you just said, very good, initial movement, pretty good movement and stop, hey, that's the end of your starboard movement and here it comes about five feet back . I copied it, to see if I can. work with this here and i need starboard about another 10 centimeters learn a short but expected transfer period between satellites we hope to get our live views of our astronauts walking through space soon that movement stopped and then GPA is fine GTA complete and it stops working on the gimbal knuckles, okay, we're with you Tom, let us know how you think.
You can adjust the gimbal as needed to lock those bolts in their locked position or rotate them to their locked position and once they are activated, we want you. to push in the base of the antenna to ensure the bulkhead heats up against those spacer blocks. We have a warning for you that we don't want you to use more than 7.7 pounds of force because that can dislodge them. to let the bolts rotate out of position, okay, just so you know they don't easily come out of the uh over that edge on the ramp. I don't want to put too much force on them in time, it seems like you have?
Pretty good access to all four from this position. I'll try to move it. I didn't get any movement on any of them at first. I'm going to try to move the septum a little. Okay, there's one in particular in the. system there are three from the third division and Drew. I have the shell and tent tied up and tucked in. I think enough to allow me to translate. I'm wondering if you think I should start working on the erads for the droppable, yeah. Kayla, we think that's the next best step, so we'll work on powering up your e-rad.
Give us those checks and then we'll start working on those bolts. How is your manual work? Kayla Baron reports that she has finished removing some layers of insulation from the replacement sassa this is after she removed the strut mounting bolt from its release position and now that it is working ahead of schedule she is doing some tasks that were planned for the next time I was supposed to be here at this workstation, just doing a little bit. of homework to get ahead The sun is setting if you want to adjust those visors that we made that the four of them come out of the unlock copy that Tom means I'm going to need uh I'm going to use a little more GPA on one side than the other which sounds good, I work with the team there with Matthias and Raja and we will give you the communication and it looks like Kayla is ready to go while she does her e-rad setup training, which is my right. shoulder down step, then I'll switch to two, three and then four, we're putting them in the locked position, but we're not working them yet, copy, you're just activating them, but no, you're not actually driving a few yet . the fries are ready for uh GCA, okay we're ready, where do you want to go? 23 millimeters of starboard and they all left 20 centimeters of starboard and then they left, we will do the starboard first and then, yes, it breaks. off and different station starboard emotions good move stop the move for that for a small station uh to ask about 10 centimeters good copy, that's a good move okay, there's your 10 centimeters and now the left yard body all se It was 43 degrees after it was 30 degrees, okay, stop Marshall, we have a hand to stop the movement which is approximately five degrees and one more station Venus 27 meters 20 centimeters Zenith good copy good movement stop motion emotions and in GTA You see I complete and wait for breakfast and Drew, I have the yarn on my PGT with a good pull test, the wobble is now on the plinth cart, also a good pull test and I'm getting into position for the cast.
School coffee, Kayla, and how about we get our hands on Kayla? Can? There was about 30 seconds to deliver, so Kayla, we're going to ask you to do a glove check and good luck and we'll catch you on the other side of the handoff Roger, we'll be next to the PSN Roger, we're ready for a GTA back to the original position and this is the other side, so I knew what we did, which is that it will take you about 20 centimeters later, we will eliminate the yaw and then we will take you back to the port. Kayla Baron is now reporting that she is done. some tasks in advance with the extra time he originally had, he was supposed to prepare the spare sassa to go to the P1 escrow with Tom Marshburn and then the two of them would return together to the spare and work on loosening some screws, however, since Baron it's already in the spare Sasa, she decided to do some tasks in advance and, I mean, only for the NATO Park, so I will take measures for all of you and the support.
I could work on the other side. I'm sorry. Breaks are going up again. Marshall's back here comes uh, 10 centimeters parked forward and stops the movement, he has movement there and then he is ready for his 20 centimeter stand, ready for the port and the movement stops, how does it look, everything is clear ? I'll take the station, give me another 10 centimeters there, okay, another 10 centimeters station aft, ripping out good copy, commercials break confirm APA is complete, are you back with us? Yeah, okay, we're back, we were just waiting for the GCA to complete. I have PGT settings for When you're ready, I already have Bravo four counterclockwise, two configured and I'm in a position to drive according to your bill, okay, we'll do it.
You are on the low gain antenna side. Decide what we expected. 11 to 19. turn on the PGT if you're counting on the PGT and then let us know if you're working forward or yes and I'll start with the Ford Drew copy, I'm waking up my uh pgp, it looks like everything is bolted together. they're in place ready to be tightened, okay Tom, your settings are alpha five clockwise also five clockwise. Two Baron reports that she is ready to work on releasing two launch bolts connected to the spare Sasa. You can see her now working with the pistol grip tool to say I'm going to leave my end effector to stay a little closer to stretch my hair and then try bolts sounds like a great plan, the pistol grip tool or PGT is basically a cordless drill ready for adjustments again please Alpha 5 clockwise two you're driving and it's only going to be three turns okay that's a good read and we're going to do this in order one two three four, so we'll start at the bolt to your right. sideways towards your head three turns we'll do twisting turns and lights happy that you understand Marshburn is working on installing gimbal locks to give the spacewalkers a little more control of the degraded unit as it moves from P1 and onto the transporter Logistics number three. it just means that the communications antenna will not make any sudden and unpredictable movements Andrew, I don't have 19 turns to confirm if you expect it to jump when it launches Kayla I guess we are waiting for it to jump, yes Kayla, you can go ahead. and it's still driving fine, I've got 2.5 turns, green Torx light on hold, number one, number two, copy Tom on bolt number one and then you move to bolt two, left shoulder and Drew, these four bolts have come out , there were 25 laps in total. starting with the fucking good words and, I understand, you're moving to the application and, really, I got 2.1 turns, 3.2 turns and forward to shoot the decimal three, one for the left knee, the three and Tom, it happened on the bolt number one.
We didn't hear the torque on that, but we did hear you turning green on bolt number one, the first one you did was 2.5, it was two programs, copy that 2.5, wait Tom, ready Tom, we're going to have you . Double check your PGT settings and re-read what you see. I see there was an alpha one. I thought it had an altitude. Alpha two. Sorry, Tom, we're waiting for alpha five. Alpha five foryou. Thomas, I miss him. Kathy, thank you and alpha five. Tom Marshburn. now, set up his pistol grip tool to actuate four gimbal locks in total again, this helps control the movement of the faulty killer unit and I'm wondering if you think I should change a plug and return to Tom or go see the schools long in the other. side copy Kayla we're checking uh one thing we needed to redo is during delivery we missed the glove that happened just confirm they were both okay we assumed they were yeah nothing dry glove check okay , it's okay, Caitlin, just give us.
Wait, here we are talking about next steps for you Andrew, I have 3.1 and 6.8 on the green light torque for bolt one, copy of Tom, that time we got 6.8 on a green light, bolt one, so we'll continue with the bolt. two, that's a nice bolt on bolt, one of the ball as well, Tom Marshburn confirms that he has finished installing the first of the four gimbal locking bolts and Caleb, for you, we'll just ask you to go ahead and remove the e -rad from your back to your socket change, go back to your original socket configuration and then we'll ask you to go see Tom when you exit VLC.
We want to make sure that we check the safest handles on it, which are working very well. guys, uh, green light 6.8 and one for both, two copies that Tom Marsh, the current Byrne, confirms that he has the second of the four gimbal locking bolts engaged while Kayla Baron worked with Ground Ivy Drew Morgan to set up his tools and she will start making them. I'm going to the P1 Trust with Tom Marshburn shortly. Roger and I are just working on my plug slot and then I'll come back to you. He rides the plug cart with a good pull test working on the True Green Light seven and one wobble. point two turn three copies Tom copies Kayla 1204.
We're good on bolt three so we're ready for four on the right side into your trunk okay and that bolt's not all the way in the slot you're stuck halfway. I've been working, uh, working on that one. I'm going to tighten it halfway if you agree with that check. Fixed, it doesn't come out easily, it doesn't come out at all and now it doesn't come in. I think it's a little darker with the other pulse, so I can see a slight gap in the slot between the bolt head and the bulkhead, but I'm still in the slot copy checking something that we're going to hold there for a moment and let's just talk about this and decide if we're going to try to reduce it.
Everyone and guys, last time we checked we were about 20 minutes ahead of the timeline and our limiting consumable at that time was Medox 640 Eva and yes it's over. I got the swing socket back on my PGC with a good pull test. My two safest handles are down and I'm going to start heading back toward some sounds. Great Caleb, good job, thanks Tom, we're talking about this last pulse. a little bit yeah Kayla absolutely great we're doing great on time right now Tom we wanted you to check with the four four if you were able to remove that bolt by hand one turn affirmative work well it's love is only. turning it over it's got a little bit of movement out of here weird if you're just joining us for just over an hour on the plan six and a half hour spacewalk with NASA astronauts Kayla Baron and Tom Marshburn Marshburn sent the first passed the first part of the hour setting up the robotic arm that she took to the P1 job site where the degraded Sasa lives, meanwhile Caleb Baron worked on express logistics carrier number three to do some prep work on the spare sassa, she worked diligently and got some tasks ahead.
Marshburn is in the process of installing four gimbal locks to reduce movement of the downgraded Sasa, uh, the nut under the bolt head is, oh, that's freely, we copy Tom, we're still talking about it a little bit, yeah , I think all the things and the other one doesn't really move anymore, both committed, I think when I was working both two and three, the four came out well with the diameter, yes, we copied Tom, so what we are going to do is go so you reset your PGT to Alpha One clockwise two Alpha One clockwise two lower settings and then we're going to have you drive on that alright Alpha One clockwise clock two Alpha One for one clockwise two I'm passing the copy of the uhfs antenna to Kayla clockwise too Alright, 245 on the course, green light and two and a half turns . 2.3 turns.
Okay, Tom, that's what we call those four good gimbal bolts. You can save your PGT and then you can work with the arm to maneuver until P1 recovery. position and uh, before we do that, I just wanted to let Kayla know that once you get there, Kayla, you can start working those electrical connectors P2, P3 and P4 and give us the words on the back, Roger, that something works now , I tell them Come on well, thank you and Matthias and Roger are ready for the maneuver to the retreat position. My tools and cutters are clear about how many brakes are amazing.
Kathy, you are ready to maneuver into the P1 recovery recoil position. uh, it will be mainly iss4. and port movement and we'll also pull out a little bit of what we did in some of that GCA. I'll let you know when we're ready to start. There is a good copy for me. Marshburn reported that all four gimbal locks have been installed to reduce movement of the downgraded Sasa as they are both working to move it to the ELC3 shortly. Baron is still headed to the P1 site to help Marshburn remove the degraded Sasa and Marshburn is working with the crew aboard the space station to get the configuration right to do this from the ISS.
Ford movement about five feet, that's a good movement, here it comes, uh, port movement, a good movement, 10 centimeters, there's a little bit of native movement, okay, that's the position we're going to set for a joint geese, take us a little bit and it'll be about a four and a half minute move okay Tom before we do the next maneuver go ahead Caleb um the three nvgos are donated levers with the full ass on the center and for the three, uh, notebook pins. and good Emi bands, I'm evaluating now if I need their tall or adjustable cables so they don't get in the way, copy Kayla, they seem like good controls and then once you evaluate if you need to tie the cables or not, we will have Move towards the handrail DRT 3618 and Tom for you before we do the next maneuver, we went over a little bit of the things we wanted to go over with you when you're ready, okay Tom, we'll ask you to check your tools and bindings. are clear and you're in Ingress Help is kept close to your body, probably keep your visor up because it'll be night for a couple more minutes and then check your glove warmers, okay, call the dog feeders, my tools and shelters are clear. and the entry aid is full towards me, the Viper is in a good position, okay, set your cooldown if necessary and then check that your heels are secured, think about the heels all this time, then a glove and half a bog for us and the gloves are still impeccable.
Happy lighting. the janitor, I'm a really fun part of history here in 2007, Expedition 16 astronaut Rick Miss Rick Mastracchio and Clay Anderson relocated the S-band antenna subassembly from P6 to P1 where the astronauts are working now, obviously, taking you after this back to 2007 Mastracchio and Anderson reported having the same difficulty that Tom Marshburn had with that fourth foreign foreign Bolt um, so I thought probably seven time trials as two sets. I think if I understood the procedure correctly, I can break the torque from time to time, wait for Tom's skill to continue, yes Caleb, those are good settings and you have to try to break the torque in a single turn, okay, now you can listen that astronauts Tom Marshburn and Kayla Baron will work together on this step.
Marshburn will tie the Sasa before it is fully set up. free with the release of the stud bolt that Baron is removing, this is the one that attaches the antenna unit to the P1 truss structure. The view you see here live on the screen of her is Kayla Baron retrieving her pistol grip tool and setting it to break the torque on that santrum bolt that attaches the degraded Sasa to the space station and you think the torque breaks in a lap. I just want to confirm that he was fully seated on the boat, it's a little hard to tell because he's in the sketch pretty deep, going through the PGT steps. the fork is broken Drew copy that Taylor you wanted it originally yes Kayla if you had experienced any running torque we uh were hoping you would break the torque if you are experiencing any running torque and I'm just waiting.
I still have to continue turning copy that Mr. Happy helps okay Joe the caps are complete and we are ready to maneuver to GCA to post recovery position P1 and I am also ready for movement let me give us a second to set up the maneuver and We will notify you when the movement begins to decrease. Well, there will be three moves here. We'll take you to Nader and then starboard and then forward and start two meters later. Brilliant. Kayla ready for the GCA. I'm ready we're ready for GTA to be released here we go and Tom with the night and the cameras we don't have the best head space so obviously to keep us informed we'll do it or less here comes a little copy of the motion starboard and then here comes an ISS gauge forward sorry Marshburn gave Kayla Baron a chance to loosen the strut bolt she was working on to loosen with her pistol grip tool which means Tom Marshburn confirms that has Meanwhile, astronauts aboard the International Space Station proved they were ready to move the robotic arm overseas about 30 centimeters from what was published, very well, when you put on the brakes, I will represent it. it breaks around full GCA and you're going to go retrieve the P1 sensor because the rfg handrails and I have two hands on it.
I'm ready if everyone is ready for their final torque, okay Tom, if you and Kayla are okay, try it. to release it, we wait about 18 turns, we want you to keep some pressure on the bolt head position a little bit, starting the turns nine turns and I'm just going to readjust because Kayla, we were going to ask you to double check your PGT settings . It looks like we might have a little bit higher counterclockwise speed right now, that hits counter three, meets two, now, okay, that's a good check, the degraded unit is on a position known as the soft spring, is connected to the space station, but only that strut bolt. keeps it in place Kayla Baron is working to remove it minutes.
The next step in the procedures after this has been accomplished is to move it to the number three Express Logistics carrier and temporarily store it using a rigid strap that Kayla Baron had previously installed on the spacewalk lock I'm looking for. We'll wait around 18. Got it? , there are 18. sprouts, we hope it jumps a little late, um, that count might be a little later because it's a little hard to tell if it's completely Sitting, um, but I'll put it back in there and then a few more turns, yeah, go ahead with a few extra turns, hey, it came loose, the cheese came off.
I'm going to stir it up and then you'll give me a chance to reposition myself a little bit, Tom. A little bit, he just has the white back on both hands, okay, that's Caleb, that sounds good and we're just going to get you as close as you can to the center of gravity down there and a light touch from Tom as he already mentioned, could you? please move it away from the stud bracket, it looks quite straight, it comes a little far. I think I have arm movement, not expansion version, uh, the spaces increase, okay, I'm going to continue pulling, yes, continue, it may be laterally loaded and the foot lock. it's a bit towards me, yeah that looks great on a free effort, best effort, good news, oh good teamwork, the degraded South is now officially free of the International Space Station.
They just received permission to move it to logistics carrier number three. You will ride along the robotic arm with Tom Marshburn to the job site. Yes. The runner is a clear copy, no cables needed and then we will meet you at elc3. Are you heading there now? I'll tell you to look at yourself real quick. Kayla since we'll see each other for seven minutes we have a chance if each other really looks good thank you and now I'll see you there Tom yeah we'll see you in about seven minutes enjoy the ride it's time you get ready . big promotion movement.
I'll start at GCA, it will be about five feet aft of port and then two feet, you have to cut it back to where you started a while ago, starting the move aft, good move 10 years ago. I'm going to take it about 15 centimeters to port and thento a unit of two meters and I see good movement around it. Now you're getting NASA astronaut Kayla Baron's helmet camera views as she translates back to Express Logistics' express carrier number. three astronaut Tom Marshburn is taking the fast route to the work site, he's grabbing the robotic arm as he carries the degraded Sasa, the two of them just working together to free themselves and guys, the sun will come up and we're about 50 minutes away. forward in the timeline and Todd, this is going to be a joke that's about seven minutes long.
It will be a crude move copy, mainly an important move to get him towards uh elc3, nothing more. Both astronauts head to the next workstation, the express. Logistics Aircraft Carrier 3. Your next task is to temporarily stow away the degraded Sasa. He will be placed on a rigid strap that Kayla Baron had previously installed. This task is expected to take about 25 minutes. However, our two spacewalking astronauts are having a good time. third of the way through the booth, happy, happy, they reported that they are a third of the way to the workplace and as they can get there, I'm going to answer a Twitter question.
We have a question from Shazi who asks if they are always tethered to the ISS during the spacewalk, that's a great question and the answer is yes, they are always tethered to the space station. You may often hear Capcom or Ground IV working with astronauts working on Tether setups, for example before Tom. Marshburn had to remove his restraints from the space station and attach them to the robotic arm like Leo, in case they came undone. Marshburn and Baron have safer units. Safer is a shorter way of saying simplified help for Eva rescue if you are familiar with a jet. pack locks are not far away and were not used during spacewalks just as a precaution and are only used if an astronaut were to let go of the space station in this unlikely situation the astronaut would use the lock on it to propel himself. themselves back to the space station like a jetpack Ed the playing field in line has disappeared again over the clam Showtime I can figure this out yeah, it's worth it to keep going in there coming in over your right shoulder hey Kayla, we have a request of photo for you at the time you think it makes the most sense, we would like you to get a photo of the bolt 4 of the Bolt 4 gimbal that was not in the exact configuration expected and, if you don't mind at some point, if that is so.
It's not absolutely necessary at any time, but it will be helpful if you can. Okay, you just heard the voice of NASA astronaut Kayla Baron. It will be his first spacewalk, while Tom Marshbarn is on his fourth or sorry, Marshburn's first three spacewalks took place over the course of the 15-day STS-127 mission in 2009, the mission saw the delivery of The exposed Japanese-built facility and exposed section of the experimental logistics module to the space station's fourth career spacewalk occurred in 2013 when Marshburn worked with Chris Cassidy to mitigate an ammonia coolant leak. You are in position. Wait, we're settling in here and we'll be ready to maneuver to GCA to post for the Sasa Tempesto position you want me to do.
I show it to you to take a photo or just wait until later, is it actually tomorrow? My first one, yeah, let me, let me try, yeah, yeah, and Tom, we're loaded, so let us know when you're ready, okay? ready for the GCA, the initial GTA released will be about eight feet later. I'm sure if I have it there, I'll get a little closer to you right now. Good question and Kayla, I'll just confirm that you are. cleaning the dlc3 high game antenna and the police can confirm. I am thank God he attended. Go forward here to stop the movement.
I think we're fine. I think we can do it. Alright. Comfortable. It's okay in GTA, full GCA and uh. I can hold it up so you can get that image right now if you want, okay, before we put it back in. I can turn the gain high for you for one image if you want now later, okay, yeah, a little bit. closer to you than the last one tell me when you're okay look at the uh I gave them 10 spare here you're a little close beep and um a lot in the way and I don't really want to move it too Alright, we can do it later, oh, I'm okay, we'll rotate it that way if you want, that's fine, stay there, that's fine, oh yeah, I think I have several photos there.
It is the closest to the high gain antenna. uh yeah there's two of them and the one I have pictures of uh please hold on for now you can turn the handrails forward so let's see them lift this end up yeah um Tom if you could turn it so let the RFC look up. go and we're almost there to see the street now and if you could lift the end, work, um, but it needs to move more urine, uh, forward and out a little bit, looking pretty good, the jaws are not completely, the petals are It hasn't come out at all, there you go.
I'll lock them now and let my representative get on it. I still have my hand on it. Is here. Good. I have an independent routine. It's a big and small routine from the FAFSA handrail downgraded to the elc3 grill and the paddles are uh Joshua set up and locked so you have to go take off the um it's very stable there and I'm going to have to go, um, let's see, uh, let's see if raspberry. I'm going to need you to raise your head about 10 centimeters, okay, good space, the couch is right above your helmet, now you may have to lean back, everyone is getting off and you're in a body, now you want 10 centimeters with the head up. that's a firm authorization of the project and the centimeter heads lift the initial movement and stop Mercer.
You are hearing the voices of Tom Marshburn and Kayla Baron and as Tom communicates with robotic arm operators Matthias Maurer and his backup rajatari, he has given orders so that he can deliver the degraded Sasa to Kayla Baron, who will work to save the Sasa in the express logistics carrier site. Are you ready for a brief but highly anticipated handover period between satellites right now by getting a live view of Mission Control in Houston? Value of 10 centimeters down, okay, next we will give it a body of one meter. There has been a lot of back and forth between job sites.
Kayla Baron started first, in her original position outside the mission airlock and headed to express logistics carrier three, then returned to trust P1 where Tom Marshburn was to help remove the degraded Sasa. Now both of them returned to the express logistics carrier where they are keeping the gradient. Sasa, fortunately, for their next step, they will stay here at the Express Logistics carrier and recover the spare part if you remember before. Kayla Baron did a lot of homework to advance this activity. Great, that's the posted position, what does it look like? I'm going to need uh looking for another uh since the centimeters actually let's continue with that body forward uh 20 centimeters second Employees 20 centimeters body four moving moving okay, there's uh 20 centimeters um it looks good and then full GTA breaks around Drew I'm here on the site, I think I need to get rid of these pins, you have good words Tom, I just wanted to give you a quick update, first of all, tremendous choreography up to this point, you guys are now about an hour ahead. the timeline The limited consumables still last about seven hours, so we would take a lot of time to get a glove and a half control of both and then yeah, let's start working on the shirt and the scarf slowly.
Half is dry. The gloves remain. for remaining unchanged from the dress and my jump is dry my gloves look good I have some black stains on the tips of my fingers I am trying to hold it in front of my camera for you we are checking Kayla we are going to continue Kayla we see them and we are Ok with that, we are now approaching the two hour mark of our planned six and a half hour spacewalk. NASA astronauts Tom Marshburn and Kayla Baron work diligently on their task of replacing the degraded communications antenna system that We are now about an hour ahead of schedule, the Sasa or s-band and Tennis subset being used to transmit uh no , the scarf is not the other points on your side, it's like they're rotated from what we expected, okay?
Do you want to pass the yes? Adjustable, true to me. I just can not. I have to be careful because we have the little yes. We may need a GTA to get to you. Try to pass it off as red. He thinks so, if you take away your room, I could probably take him home. Okay, this antenna is used to transmit voice and low-speed data between the space station and flight controllers on the ground here in Houston using S-band radio frequencies across the report this threat appears to be blocked Tom it's intentional, I It was helping a lot do you want to consider unlocking it once I have this here um I'm worried it might growl yeah I'm going to send it Here keep it clear and did you take it away from me?
Okay, okay, yeah, I have to go there at least so I can fuck it at you. Okay, camera. I'm going to need to use quizzes, I can probably always, uh, GTA again. to get in there, Baron and Marshburn are now communicating back and forth working on the best way to store the downgraded Sasa on the Express Logistics carrier 3. This downgraded sauce was in the P1 escrow and was moved here to the Express Logistics carrier of the Space Station. Well so I tried a GTA there, I can get it Tom, I'm just going to need to lower a brt, I think that's fine, just because I need two hands to promote each other's movement and I don't want to run. on the slogan antenna right next to me and if you could turn this other bus towards me, the scarf now has feathers and can you reach a colored dot on its side?
No, I am not the attachment point that was in When choosing the image, I can be absolutely sure that it is not another one if we could confirm that there are only two attachment points for the scarf. My point, one right in front of you looks like it's on the shirt. I think I took it too. This connection point. although it was covered by a flat mli, let me go back to the uh Tom Chef, what's here? Tom, we believe there are two attachment points on the scarf. Justin, okay, so we have both the shirt and the scarf feather at this point, Tom, yes.
Could you just wait a second, we're probably working against you because of the way the leash is routed now, we'll just have to Slip the scarf off the end of the high-end antenna, the shirt and the scarf, as you hear them referred to. it's basically a thermal blanket that covers most of the communication system and its thinner neck, you have to undo the velcro on your side and then we'll just slide it forward and that will be clear, okay, here we go players home, there come on. okay, get all the t-shirts and um, I'm working too far away from this killer.
I'm going to ask another EPA. I can take it easy, oh my God, yes, Matthias Roger, uh, I mean a PCA to get a little closer to where. Do you want to go well? I want to raise the body 10 20 centimeters and fish down about 30 degrees forward 30 degrees 10 centimeters and then cast 30 degrees good copy here comes the movement of the body up a good movement oh yes, here comes the cast The report cannot stay still anyway, give me another 10 centimeters, movement, any good stop motion movement and then here comes the forward throw, this is good, so wait with the Pitchfork and don't run out of full pauses, okay?
Move the mli away from you as you back away. I feel like you're all Queer. I can keep mli away here if you want to go get the big hook. I only came for one, huh? I think there is still a bit of velcro on my side. I'd probably like to let it go and I can break it. Do you want me to hold it out of the way and just move the big hook? I'm ready for anything and I'm just going to pick it up, but out of your way once you get that last little eye out.
I can't figure out how it's on track on this side to be able to get it out of you and I think that was the last little piece that looks like I have a good hand it over before we absorb your workspace if you want to move it and I'm ready to do that too and a second to reconfigure. a little things here the stories seem faithful. I'm thankful we're not trying to do that. Velcro that back onto the many very specific places Baron and Marshburn had worked on to temporarily store the failed Sasa right at its current work site.
They will return once they have installed the new unit to make for a warmer environment. To make a more permanent Stow of the degraded sassa, they are working on their first task to recover the spare sassa that will be retired and brought to the P1 trust. The first step is to remove some of the thermal protection. I'm going to take a second to let my VRT sound good so I have two hands when I try to pack up yeah get ready I will if you're good I'll let this go we'll see I'll ask.another TCA to attract the big people, you should be ready Andrew, could you confirm what scale of things in the mli I can start setting up to launch The Lunchbox on my side?
Yeah Tom, we want you to have a good arm position for that and then we'll set up your PGT with the e-rad when it's ready, happy, I'm working with the big hook now. Tom, okay, Marshburn just contacted Ground IV, Drew Morgan, who is ready to set up his e-rad or upgraded right angle unit. this is a tool that is used because the bolts are not necessarily in an easy to reach position to release the strap stay on the job he has two release bolts that will work to release Roger, it is so you can account for a moment when dinner CPA if you are ever going to take it easy and this is still locked Roger ready for a GTA with the body down touching your body down do you want to go back to where you were the good copy and safer if I really need body down 20 centimeters good 20 centimeters body down initial movement good copy good movement stop movement happy movement you saw a complete break around the scorpion going for me here copied Tom and understand that now you are in a good position, you can go ahead and set your PGT.
I'll give you the settings when you're all set up. Okay, copy. I'm taking out my urad right now. Ground IV. Drew Morgan is preparing to brief Tom Marshburn on tool settings, giving him the settings for his pistol grip tool to prepare to release two release bolts. I'm thankful we put the adjustable one on the bottom of the bag, it definitely helped and I'm just working on trying to fit it all in here like astronaut Kayla Bear and it worked. A little early when she was on the Express Logistics carrier the first time she did some of the necessary tasks to retrieve the spare sassa.
This is a task they are both working on right now, but she actually did some of the tasks in advance. Secret's problem is in my good cinema, adjustable with its full test copy, the S-band or sassa antenna subassembly went down last September with a failed return link, this means that mission control was able to send data to the space station, but the antenna lost its ability to send signals to Earth via NASA's data and tracking satellite system because the space station has so many built-in redundancies that we can still communicate with the International Space Station from Earth Even without the Sasa, the station also has high-speed Ku-band uplink and downlink capability transmitting video and the station also has other low-speed fan systems.
This is the first spacewalk to replace Sasa since Joe Tanner and Heidi Stefanov Shin Piper replaced Assassa on the S1 truss during the sts. -115 mission on September 16, 2006. When copying, we are going to set your PGT for Bravo 4 also counterclockwise. While Tom Marshburn sets up his tools, you can see views of the Earth peeking out from the right side of the screen, the International. The space station is crossing the ocean right now just off the coast of Brazil, the shirt and scarf sewn in the museum, are you bad? That, uh, adjustable at the bottom was a game changer, so great suggestion, Tom, awesome, very good job, Kayla, I know how.
This can be difficult at times and at the end of the day we will be able to pack a double zip bag and a medium Oreo bag if you prefer, so keep that in mind in case when you return to Resto the mud ball stack is there, but It looks like you're going to have a lot of space, yeah, it looks pretty good. I'd say it takes up about the bottom half of the bag. Andrew says again, uh, getting something Bravo Bravo four counterclockwise and another four five clockwise. two verified, well those are good setups, you're going to work with the forward and aft bolts, if you're counting on the PGT, we expect 11 to 19 turns, all 19 turns on the PGT, good read, just let us know what cap screw.
You're working on the internal copy first on my side, that's fine. NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn is now working to release two launch bolts. This is an activity he was originally going to do with Kayla Baron, however, she was able to remove the launch pins. At the beginning of the spacewalk she was preparing to work on some mast bolts, removing these mass bolts will release the spare sassa. I'm not expecting, uh, the hairpin, yeah, but we're going to get out, we're hoping that it's coming out. Kayla took some. 20+ laps, okay, not strange, but it came up, so I'm going to do a few more laps to get in a good position for the tub.
I have Bravo 2 counterclockwise, two steps. I'll be ready to go into drive mode those are good settings Caleb, it's a plus that Kayla Baron got to work releasing her release bolts early as it turns out it took one more turn than expected on the grip tool gun, the dream IV of the ground Morgan was able to communicate that with Tom Marshburn, who is working on his now and during Vander's falls on the Zenith side, he came out in the spring and it was 44 shifts, the work was eight. The single Marshburn is now halfway to loosening the launch bolts on the spare sassa copy running through the front zenith.
He let go of the asphalt and that was nine laps, copying nine laps at the zenith. Baron confirms that she is halfway to undoing the two ground bolts she has, while Tom Marshburn has loosened one of the two launch bolts she is working on. Caleb, can I go ahead? and he gets a glove for half and a surer check from you. I can tell you that now my half is dry. I'm going to wait with gloves and paper until after the bolt because I'm already in a good position with my hands full, that works. and uh, okay Andrew, I was waiting for the shifts to come out and 10 was the highest job, okay, copy that Tom, and now you can put the e-rad away, reconfigure your PGT, just give us those happy group tests and, finally, you will put. that PGT and then we'll go through your checklist before you get into position to grab the spare sassa.
Okay, Tom Marshburn confirms that he has finished undoing the two release bolts he was working on on the replacement Sasa. With these steps complete, we are almost ready to remove the spare sassa and move it to the P1 Truss. Forward, rfg is also mounted on the opposite side. side of the rfg there is an mli a piece of Moi is supposed to be there it was supposed to be removed Kayla that is expected to be there does not need to be removed confirming that an area of ​​the velcro was removed I inadvertently removed it I think it was part of the another mli, but it was reinstalled, no, a good control and who can I report a good glove control, not Delta and it is good, the handle super controls both sides, all good, perfect, thanks for checking your ad is back on the Academy of Psychology. with a good pull test copy that time and we're six inches back on the, you can see the good tip of the Soul, okay, copy Tom and save that plug cart in the PGT and then we'll check your pre sassa grip. checklist nothing, you need to clean my crew lock bag just a second, the trip home, back abroad, looks like you have it all. save there, I say firm, well the first thing we'll need is another GCA to get there firmly to the GSR next time.
I think we'll get you moving on with that little GCA and then we'll move on. through your checklist okay copy I want to be able to help lift so Matthias Roger I will lift your body in centimeters 20 centimeters 20 centimeters pressure off start of movement body up you need to stop the movement the explosion stops you ready for breaks and body to the left uh 47 meters to the left 20 centimeters movement good movement traffic to the right stop movement stops and GTA stops before you get maximum leverage for those of you who are just tuning in, we are at just two and a half hours of space talk with NASA astronauts Tom Marshburn and Caleb Barron Mr. visor as you need it Sunset is coming here, it's Kayla Baron's first spacewalk in her career and the duo is working to replace a subset of defective S band antenna or sassa with a spare that is already on board the clear station and then if your heaters are set and your cooling is good, then you can continue and return to the uh until the handrail there full 5 15 a. m.
Central time 6 15 a.m. m. This is the official start time for this spacewalk marking the beginning of the 245th spacewalk in support of the space station assembly and maintenance bill on Bravo as well and our clockwise configuration too good from five and a half to nine turns to free up a little more the Sasso went down last September with a failed return link, meaning Mission Control can send data, but the antenna lost its ability to send signals to the Earth through NASA's tracking and data satellite system or Tedris. Fortunately, due to some redundancies on the station, we can still communicate with the International Space Station in the Even without the Sasa Spirits speaking in this configuration, checking the copy, we discovered this faulty system in mid-September and it was actually very advantageous for us because we met Kayla Baron and Tom Erstrand had not yet launched to the space station.
They had time to train at NASA's neutral buoyancy laboratory here and at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. It's a large pool that astronauts use to train for their spacewalks on Earth. The current setting is uh Bravo 7. negative Bravo Two probably two okay, okay Kayla we I'm going to reset your PGT to Bravo 7 counterclockwise and also change my body position a little bit to support the top travel Kayla , our apologies, let's try it one more time on Bravo too. I apologize for that and we want to make sure that the location of your hand there is that you're hanging from a Fram railing and cleaning New Zealand prisons. uh I kept my left hand on my brt while driving okay copy that sounds like a good setup and we'll do Bravo 2 counterclockwise two and we have a handover. in about a minute the furniture came out but it also slid off the bolt head so I'm going to try to go down again and just make an adjustment here Tom okay okay now we're going to reset Bravo 7 in the opposite direction to clockwise too and we're I'm going to try a single turn and we'll have a handover in less than a minute.
I'm also on Bravo seven counterclockwise and I understand a single twist in the setup. Good read, we'll see you on the other side, just want to make sure. I'm in a good position for the higher torque. Yes, the spacewalkers here so far are about an hour ahead of schedule and have so far completed tasks like removing the degraded Sasa from the P1 shell and moving it to the Express Logistics. Carrier number three has been temporarily stowed using a rigid tether that Taylor Kayla Baron had installed earlier during the spacewalk. Now both are back on Logistics Express Carrier Three to pick up the spare Sasa.
Well guys we're back to you after the Delivery, how did we make some movement there, yeah, yeah, until I had to reposition myself, but it looks like we had a good turn, okay Caleb, we're back to you and we're going to reset now to Bravo 2 counterclockwise and two others counterclockwise? Fortunately, two were ready when the Sasso sank in September. A spare was already aboard the International Space Station on the express logistics transporter. It wasn't necessary to launch a new part to them in time and it appeared out there. It's outside a store like Well, it's out, good job, thanks and if you want I can check your safer handles.
May I browse. I felt them a couple of minutes ago. Okay, so let's see if you can see them. If you grab something, pull it. Put your head down a little bit, I'll probably be able to see it, but if you're sure you've got them or maybe just turn in one direction, okay, your left is down, if you turn to your left, here it is here, let's take a good look . Are you ready for the maneuver? Another pressure pgp a little closer to you. It doesn't depend on anything. They're good and Tom and Kayla have a tick for you in the RFP box.
If you want, Kayla, if you can. see the rft box and then just check the nzgls on what was on the left side of Kayla's ndgl. In the end the rfg box, the ncgl is located there, if it looks like they are attached or they are still there, they are all the way forward over center. From my side I see the same thing, okay, those are good injury checks, if it's a great collar, you're ready for the maneuver, you go to themaneuver, we, you, on the communicator and for Kayla, we will meet you at the facility. location, put your head that way now hey, Matthias, you're ready for the maneuver.
Sounds good, let's undo what we did here with some GTA first, so let's go down and then back and then get ready for the manual recoil maneuver, so grab 20 centimeters of your body first, oh, okay, take your body out first. Spacewalking astronauts Kayla Baron and Tom Marshburn just finished recovering the spare sassa from the aircraft carrier express. Baron will now return to the P1 work site Sasso okay and then uh, 20 centimeter body frame down okay, let's set up, let's change it back to the ice frame X and then we'll move on to the next maneuver , preparing for the maneuver NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn will be the one to carry the spare Sasa to the P1 truss.
Fortunately, he will take it with him. He will carry the robotic arm under the direction of NASA astronaut Matthias Maurer and his backup rajatari during the next. In a few steps they will install the spare sassa on the P1. This is the same place where they removed the downgraded Sasa and are now putting a replacement in its place. Everything from now on will be more or less the steps to remove it. the degraded cheekiness of in reverse this involves NASA astronaut Kayla Baron joining some wires together, you'll have three wires to connect to the spare one that does data, one connects the heater power and the other connects the operational power trust right now here Come on your screen now are live views of Tom Marshburn moving around on the robotic arm of the International Space Station loading the spare sassa while Caleb Barron moves to the P1 work site and Tom Marshburn hitchhikes there on the robotic arm carrying the International Space Station is flying over Kazakhstan IA The stopovers act almost this afternoon, about seven minutes long, they will take you back mainly to starboard, back to a place you were before.
Ready as the astronauts head to the workplace, we can answer a few questions. We asked for some questions on our Instagram. at NASA Johnson and we can go over a couple of them, the first one comes from Adam who asked what trusses the antenna is on. Well the truss will be installed on the P1 Truss, this is where the degraded unit is and where the replacement will go. to be installed soon, the spare was stored on Express Logistics Carrier 3 located on the P3 shell of the International Space Station. Another Instagram user asks if one feels the cold from outside and the heat from the Sun.
This refers to when they are in an orbit during the night and day, there are fluctuations in temperature. It is true that they can feel the difference and will take precautions such as lowering and raising their visor, as he may have heard Drew Morgan on Earth IV speaking or advising them to do. They also have mechanisms built into their spacesuits. There were garments underneath to help with temperature and spoon regulation. The suits themselves are designed to keep the astronauts at a stable temperature again. Tom okay, another Instagram user is asking what's on your pre-spacewalk playlist and while unfortunately our spacewalkers Tom Marshburn and Kayla Baron included us in what they were listening to beforehand, we know that on launch day they listen bands like Guns and Roses, Eminem, Nicki Minaj, Imagine Dragons, etc., we have another question. from Instagram user Fiona Daly that she wants to know how long the spacewalk lasts.
Well, the spacewalk is planned for six and a half hours, however, the astronauts are accelerating their tasks, they are accomplishing everything on time. Another user asked how long it takes. To prepare for a spacewalk, we talked about the advantage Tom Marshburn and Kayla Baron had in discovering that the degraded unit had occurred before they left Earth so they could train at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory and I got my Supreme, uh um, however, the crew. I was able to prepare while the five astronauts on the Marshburn side of the Usos were in orbit. Baron vandehei Chari and Maurer have been studying the steps of the spacewalk along with tool configurations and any precautions they need to take into account for the past week, Baron and Marshburn specifically.
Today's spacewalkers prepared the equipment lock and in the days leading up to today's spacewalk they did tasks such as preparing their checklists and drinking water and inspecting each of their tools. This is all part of the port of some preparations they made before the spacewalk. It also included some onboard checks. fit checks where they tried on your spacesuits and made sure they were comfortable and easy to move in Hey guys, just wanted to check back in with you, we are less than a minute away from a delivery, thank you, thank you. Roger on Instagram, the user wants to know how Spaceball was practiced on Earth.
We briefly mentioned the neutral buoyancy laboratory inside this giant pool. It is a giant model of the International Space Station to scale. Astronauts have the opportunity to go fully equipped under water in an environment that simulates the environment of space seriously entering my peripheral vision during this trespass period. We have another question from Astro Yesha, who wants to know what the rest of the crew is doing during the Eva. It's a great question. We have Matthias Maurer from the European Union. Space Agency, he is inside the International Space Station controlling the robotic arm that Tom Marshburn has been carrying to and from his workplaces.
Raj Atari is with him serving as backup and we return to you after the transfer, yes, keep this album. left shoulder and for the next DC Universe, okay Tom, we are ready for Newberg to TCA to the university, installation position P1 Sasa and I'm ready, okay, start GTA, okay, let's load, we'll load the values ​​and we'll give it to you we will make knowing. before you start the move, you're basically going to move forward about two meters, Nader, just a little bit to starboard and then about two meters forward in that order, okay, call early, okay, and here comes the NATO breakout of two meters, okay, we're focused and with the Knight and the camera views, we can't really clear your head very well, so keep an eye out for that nice moving P1 frame please, where they'll install the spare Sasa a year to go down the stairs, maybe a little to starboard.
The move here is it's ready to go, okay and then about two meters, uh, ISS forward, opening question. Good move for him. 87 years left. Kayla, just let us know if the Oru gets too close. You are understanding, you are clear to continue installing. the spare Sasa on the P1 frame the number of tasks that will need to be done Kayla Baron will work to attach the cables for data, heated power, heater power and operational power Tom Marshburn will work to loosen the gimbals, if you remember before on an Eva the had installed to keep the Sasa in the locked position continue posting looks like we're close they're already there guys loosening the gimbals the satellite the sassa unit will have the ability to track satellites again there we go the university position, what does that look like?
Yes, I'm GPA too. Did you see that there are complete brakes on and your gopher P1 is that to install it well? We need to move away from the support application a bit. little asked, I have a light touch if you want to just move it, okay, uh, if you could move it, uh, starboard, starboard and Alpha down. Baron and Marshburn now work together to get into the correct position to install the replacement Sasa. This activity is total. It's supposed to take about 45 minutes, okay, I felt like it jumped there, yeah, it looks really good flush with the plate, very good, I'm getting a little dark because it's not moving, so it's all good, it's okay. look fantastic, guys, and we'll be ready. to help you set up your PGT when you're ready Caleb ra Bravo Settings 7 clockwise two earlier during the spacewalk clockwise also earlier during the spacewalk Kayla Baron removed the stud bolt which was the last stop to replace the degraded Sasa unit now one One of your first tasks when installing the new one is to put the strut bolt back on.
She is setting up her tool to do so now with Ground IV dream organizations. Well, Kayla, we wait for 17 to 18 and a half turns and we'll take the Turn of it and make sure there's a lateral load there a little bit. You're now getting a live view of NASA astronaut Kayla Baron driving the strut mounting bolts while, off screen, Tom Marshburn holds this asset in place attached to the robotic arm on my way back. go down a little more DJ BCTva in 20 laps in your 22 laps now, how does this work? Yes, he's still driving. I think there is a torque that appears to be an increased side load.
The body of the PGT interferes a little or the mass itself interferes with the body. from the PGT, yes, so it's a little difficult to maintain a perfect position, maybe it will go like this, maybe it's me today. I feel the lateral load there, you still see, turning, although you push against that other exercise while NASA astronaut Kayla Baron works to drive. Those rays, the International Space Station is flying over the South China Sea heading towards the Philippines and we're about three hours into our spacewalk, so I think there's a little bit of play in the um after that position and so What I'm wondering is I think let me take it out, it actually came out of the light box.
What I'm thinking is that maybe the bolt wasn't actually engaging the threads, obviously, or else it wouldn't have done that. Can you push Nader directly and push a little? port a little poor yeah um and back off the server a little bit please directly later on the plate and if you can try to keep it there okay I'll try again to counter any side loading and that was 17 laps and we're. I'm going to keep the touch light and pull a little. Can I end my call very quickly? Oh, sorry, yeah, uh, 17 laps with a green light, 26 foot-pounds in that time.
I could actually see the bolts dropping deep so I think it's fully committed from okay cool so you can give it a little whistle to confirm it for yourselves sorry guys on your call and we copied everything to Kayla and that sounds like a good install, good install, yes, I care, she looks good, okay, great job, great job. Yes, Tom, you can take off the rat and Kayla, let's get you started working on the cables. Astronaut Drew Morgan, who serves as our ground IV, today just gave Kayla Baron permission to start working on the cables for the replacement sassa clear and then you.
I worked with Raja and Matthias to switch to the replacement gimbal lock opposition when she was removing the downgraded unit. Good job moving that thing down and copying your move from an Uber to a Spirit. Give us a second to set it up and we will. I will get you to move some kind words from Rajachary, yes it is wrong to remove the demoted Sasa unit. Kayla Baron had disconnected three cables to free the degraded Sasa in preparation for moving it to the express logistics carrier and now that the sphere is in place, she will work to reconnect these three cables that feed power to the data heater and power. operational to the spare Sasa.
Hi Tom, uh, the following position will sound very familiar to you. You'll take your stern just a small port and then Zenith and start with two. meters a lot for those just tuning in, we're talking about the Sasa or the s-band antenna subset that is used to transmit low-speed voice and data between the space station and the equipment here on the ground at Mission Control using s-frequencies. band radio went down in mid-September with a failed return link, meaning we can send data, but the degraded antenna lost its ability to send us signals. NASA astronauts Kayla Baron and Tom Marshburn are on a spacewalk outside International Space.
Station now and we are working to install the replacement unit. Okay, it's setting up for other prank apps. It's maybe four and a half minutes long. Do you see it complete? Did they say it's complete? The day is full and we will let you know. before we start and start with the jokes uh Drew we are with you I have a four in my hand and I'm ready to engage G4 the lever is full last over the center with this ends there is no food good band Emi let's engage and Kayla, you can continue with P3 and P2 after that and we will receive your checks after gcas.
What you see now on your screen are the connectors that Kayla Baron is working on to connect to the spare. Sassa Foreign is working on those three unlit cables. On the screen we have Tom Marshburn in the robotic arm. His task is to loosen the gimbal locks so that later in the procedures, when the spare Sasa ison, can move and track satellites at this time, the current gimbal locks keep it. rigid and in place so that unexpected movements do not occur and we keep our spacewalkers safe two-thirds of the way through the three and the cgls are native completely forward over the center.
They all had good number five pins because of the Mi Vans before I copied Kayla. great job, we're done with those three connectors, those are good checks, the next thing we're going to ask you to do is move your green hook outboard two handrails to 3624 3624 in preparation for moving up to three six two four Carrie LeBaron contacts the reason is that you have finished connecting the cables to the spare sassa, which means that the unit is now receiving power and data from ground IV. Drew Morgan already has his sights set on some advancement assignments, as he is slotting Kayla Baron into the four spot.
We're three hours into the spacewalk, it's scheduled to take about six and a half hours, but we're already moving way ahead of schedule overseas and then look at it, uh, the meter though. I'm ready for GPA to post whatever you want. I love it. values, it's time we are ready to move to GCA to publish the American Bulldog position. Hey, are you ready for the DK to be posted by GTA Station Debbie? Do you want to post it or is it just going to be about a meter to starboard and then a meter and a half starting the movement to starboard first okay that sounds good I got my greenhouse out so I'm going to move to three six two four and head towards me it's um izer to ascend, okay? stop promotion, that's about 40 centimeters, about half a meter less than published for starboard, looks good for now, okay, we'll give you about a meter and a half after your clearance.
See one here to continue, it's 20 centimeters. The International Space Station is flying through an orbital night, so the views are a little dark, but you can also see the Canon arm with NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn attached. He is in communication with NASA astronaut Rajachari right now. He is working on loosening the gimbals to allow for the Sasa. antenna to track satellites and allow communication between earth and space station comes AC conversion and stop movement then GTA is GCI completes and breaks ok you are ready for PGT setup ok we were with you Tom, so a word of caution to read to you as remember we don't want to exceed the twist count on these bolts because that can cause damage to the bolt and we're going to have two sets of PGT settings on this.
The first round will be Bravo 4. counterclockwise also another four counterclockwise to confirm, also okay this will be a single turn and we are going to do this in order four, three, two and then one, so we'll start with four towards your boots on the right side, number four and we work. once you turn on me you just heard earth IV set up the tools for NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn give him the correct settings to loosen the gimbal lock bolts. There are four of these Marshburn will start on the right side with the number four and work your way down. once the spare sassa is installed and configured as Tom Marshburn and Kayla Baron are working to do, the Eva doesn't stop there, that's a good read after installation they will return to express logistics carrier three and permanently install the Sasa degraded yes Do you remember that before in the Eva they brought him there and stored him temporarily?
After installing the replacement, they will go back there and get a more permanent setup. The settings that turn on the bolts. There is Bravo to go down. or two and it's working and it's time to copy and one we just wanted to confirm what volts it was on if you could use the left right foot coordinate to tell us which bolt just worked there right foot right both for right foot number four in Montgomery , that's the right vote, we're just checking the settings here and guys, the sun will come up here in just a couple of minutes, okay, and Tom we're still checking for you, okay Tom, let's move now to run away . number three, that's the side of the boot to the left of your left three and this will be the same single spin verified Bravo or counterclockwise too good setups NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn confirms he has completed work on the first bolt and is moving on to the second in the meantime The crew received notice that the International Space Station will move into a daytime orbit currently located in the South Pacific Ocean and is preparing to fly over New Zealand on the side left towards his helmet.
Marshburn was now on pin number two. Remember Marshburn started with four and is working. your way to a good reading copy and we're going to move on to screwing a helmet on the right side four pelvics on the right side because our spacewalkers today are doing their tasks very well while, ahead of schedule, the crew here is thinking about starting . in some advance tasks, one of the advance tasks is to look at a bolt that was in the airlock, it showed minor wear and installing a new one was actually one of the advance tasks of Tomah piske and Aki hoshide in September during your spacewalk, just because this has no relation to Sasa, but since the crew will be working around the airlock as they enter and exit, one of the advancement tasks is to go ahead and take photographs of the shaft pin that Tomah fish and Aki hoshide had installed it yeah it doesn't work either okay Tom what we're going to do is stay with the original settings on Bravo 4 and then go back to the number four bolt on the right side towards your boots and we're going to try to do that. a single turn again, okay, scary for all those four and we're going back to bolt four, not the right group, that's a good read, yes sir, and a turn in four, okay, that's cool, Tom, let's go to bolt one, do the same thing, that's right. side towards his helmet the same thing worked and it broke we talked about we tried to understand that as a difference I didn't really see anything yeah the plug doesn't turn on and all this in a moment I'll see if I can get something. movement again once again, we're following for a long time, let us know what you get there, we're going to enter a period here where we may have a little bit of radicon, just wanted to let you know, happy, so it's going breaking, this is breaking. the torch is not moving yet, okay Tom, we copy, we are checking, we can go to a different PGT setting in standby mode, so Tom, one additional tip on the original bra setting before we still ask you to put some movement towards the high gain in Tennessee, if you can move while trying that turn, if you can, okay, good job, avoiding that table.
I don't understand the movement of the septum, which is still being talked about once again as Marshburn works to loosen it. those bolts communicate with the ground okay Tom at this point we're going to go to the Bravo 7 PGT setup also counter clockwise so this is high torque we think this could break the bolts, so be prepared to catch it if you do. We are able to seven, a single turn counterclockwise, also a single turn of the bolt one, you are working with the ground to set your pistol grip tool in different configurations, another way to loosen the bolt locks of the gimbal, okay, three quarters of a turn a little more and we have a one of the parents in the only big news, okay, we'll go to our next set of PGT settings when it's ready Alpha 2 counterclockwise clock to Alpha two counter two more inside the Spectrum clockwise two starting with hole four once again loosening these gimbals allows the Sasa antenna to track satellites and allow communication between Earth and the space station.
This is complementary to the work Caleb Barron did connecting the ISS cables for operational power and data copying. Bolt 3 on the left side of the trunk. Good job. Easily turn it four thirds. for both of you, three wonderful and very good news, left side towards your helmet, easy turn to vote one, we are ready for the first bolt. I'm excited, nice motion, Easy Motion series, the volts are obviously free, but they don't come off easily. its position I'm going to initiate a PGT on the next move, yes Tom you can go ahead and put away your PGT and turn those bolts away from the bulkhead to the unlocked position and then just check that the gimbal locking bolts are secure in that position . unlocked position now that the four gimbal locking bolts have been loosened it is now Tom Marshburn's job to turn the gimbal locking bolts out and into the unlocked position once complete Marshburn will check with the ground to communicate that they are locks in the unlocked position. even after tickling the antenna working on three, now this task Marshburn is working on is the last step before he can turn on Sasa and Tom.
I just wanted to check back with you guys if you're all turning back okay or not two or three after a rocking rotation of the waves and they backed up. I'm going to make sure they're completely over, they're completely back in those positions, they're one and four, they're going to move in this lot but they're not going to come out. so I think I need to move the uh avoiding the cable in that swamp, confirming now that while some of the bolts have unlocked easily, others need a little more coaxing. We're following Tom and we're still talking.
I just wanted to offer, um, if we think Tom is going to be troubleshooting for a while, could I go to work and get tested, um, and I got away from here, so I should be able to come back while he's, they're passing by here. Caleb, uh, for you. We appreciate the offer. I don't think we're going to get ahead yet. We want you to inspect the rft box of the degraded unit. I would just take a look at it if you have extra capacity. take a look, take a look and take some photos you'll appreciate and we're about two minutes away from unHandover and Drew.
I don't get as much septum movement as we have on the ground unit. One in four seem to be quite loose when they are in the slot, they are just not mounted. Over the groove despite some rocking and shaking. I don't really see much emotion in the symptoms. Okay, we appreciate the words or now we understand that one in four are the problematic bolts, so what we thought you would do. is to set your PGT to Alpha two and put an extra turn on bolts one and four two artificial terms, it seems like that's the best we're hoping for from my perspective, so Alfa two down if you check it's going for four, just one turn, just one turn, just one more turn.
There's still whiskey there. Shows turn number one complete, well number one came out with the four bolts and through contact, yeah Sean, we'll get back to you after they were delivered, so we were keeping an eye on how it went with those extra turns on one and four, Yeah. That was the trick, a little bit, but one and four finally actually one didn't move, so excuse me, four wouldn't move even after the extra turn, but after the extra turn, the number one moved back to four and then appeared too. so the four bolts are in the stove position, good, that's exactly what we wanted to hear, okay, we are in for a short but long-awaited drive.
We now have a live view of Houston Mission Control, where the flight director and Earth IV are communicating with Tom Marshburn, who is troubleshooting loosening some gimbal locks again, this allows free movement once Sasa it's on so it can communicate with the satellites okay Tom and just double check yeah copy go ahead so we also want to give you a quick update on what they're doing. about an hour and 40 minutes before the timeline or limiting consumables is still medox, it's seven and a half hours, so a long time and you all are doing very well, this is everything we expected, this is perfect, uh, Tom, you're going to I'll be making a return flight empty handed, take us some photos and videos and then Kayla will take the words that you have on your inspection so far.
Roger, a second in the joke house. I'll give you those words that sound good. Tom, uh, let's go first. I have to take you 20 centimeters later and then undo what we did before and then we will take you to Tim still in position and thus copy your going from an Uber to the ELC three attempts without rear opposition. Let you know before the excitement begins, copy well, yes and do the maneuver. Here it comes, 20 centimeters later, we just received confirmation that much ahead of schedule, our spacewalkers, NASA astronauts Kayla Baron and Tom Marshburn, have installed Sasatry as Tom describes, go ahead and activate the PGT on the bolt and if we need to take, put Tom on a better GCA.
I'm in a little bit better position and then Kayla has the PGT on and then when we feel it. position, give it one turn less than one with the uh configuration in alpha one, yes, of course, I'm going to do a quick GPA and, rather, GCA, everyone forward, 10 centimeters, happy, the brakes are coming loose and I'll give it to your body an initial movement of 10 centimeters. We just reached four hours into the plan. Six and a half hour spacewalk with NASA astronauts Tom Marshburn and Kayla Baron. They are now working on storing the degraded sassa. This failed or part of it collapsed in September.
They replaced it with another unit and now they are just temporarily keeping the sassa in the frame and Kayla goes ahead and takes two turns. They are now discussing the best way to do this with their ground IV Drew Morgan and the Eva team here at mission control. that involves getting your PGT his pistol grip tool, it's like a cordless drill in space set up and using astronauts Matthias Maurer and rajachari to put Tom Marshburn in a slightly more advantageous position on the robotic arm, yeah, and we did too if you're involved. both good good job Ken Kayla let's reset to Alpha 5 clockwise two alpha five clockwise two the astronauts got instructions on setting up their tools from the ground IV you're looking at a live view of how my 16th camera belongs to Kayla Baron you are now seeing her point of view on today's spacewalk copy Kayla and you have five and a half to nine turns easier for me to hit this one if you have a good range, that was about eight turns and I think it has run degrees with green light, it weighs 4.7 pounds.
Good time, Caleb, we're checking on Roger. Yes, how do you feel about your positioning? I think you're probably in a better place. Well, we'll wait for the Dow Jones. okay, thanks guys, wait on the second bolt, wait, okay, on the bolt that we just put in, we'll just double check the Alpha five setting clockwise two and then we'll try that bolt one more time, we're expecting a little bit more clockwise torque for our foreign set, we'll hit it again. We're looking at something on the order of seven foot-pounds right now. Got green light 7.3, that's a good install.
Baron now double checks her work. She installed the first of two mast bolts to connect the Sasa to the Fram or releasable flight attachment mechanism. Good adjustments from five and a half to nine turns. How does Kayla Baron handle that second mast bolt to secure it? She sometimes she will get some views of the Earth. Peeking out of her wrist mirror, the International Space Station is about to cross the English Channel, it's 44 and seven turns. Got to 6.9 on the torch, okay, that's a good setup too, great, okay Tom, for you, we wanted you to evaluate. where you are in your arm position if you need to do any GCA um before we start setting up the tent, the mli tent and then we will be waiting as well so you can move forward with our composition exchange where we are We will be changing from space to ground three, that'll be perfect for you, but I'll do a communications check there with you, but we just want to know that you're in a good position with your arm first, okay?
I'm going to have to move, let's talk to Kayla for a second so the cover doesn't have to worry so much about this side that we're going to put on the edge. The thermostat is on this side and they are the folks here at Mission Control confirmed a good installation of the degraded sassy unit. Do you want to go back to these other entries that you put in or just go from here? Let's start by doing some of that, i.e. Bobby, step back 20 centimeters in the particular area where the degraded unit has been successfully installed to allow the communications antenna to receive power from the heater 27 meters very soon Tom Marshburn will be working to reinstall the multi-layer insulation mli, which is another layer of thermal protection for the unit, more if you want, that's the that's the 20. so that's good and I'll need uh in the background about half a meter of good motion and stop motion.
I think that will do it after I can reach everything, guys, I'm going to go in real quick, Kayla, let's Do you have to wait in the Mli tent for just a couple of moments? Well, ngca fills in the breaks. Okay, so you know I'm going to need another one on the right side. Do the other quarter turn faster so we're good for now. What is needed is a close inspection of the low gain antenna side of the rfg, the part you probably couldn't see while at the temporary tent location and if you can take some photos for us we would appreciate that too. and Tom for you, if you are in a good position with the GCA and you are happy with where you are located, what we want to do is listen to your decision about the exchange of communications, okay, let me consult with Matthias and Roger. guys, they're going for Trump's failure working with that, uh, you mentioned that they might need a little more GCA for that other court letter quicker, so if you need that first, we're happy to do it, otherwise, yeah, let's just go. to be the next step in installing the Shroud, I can only get one side from here.
I can't get both sides with one position so I'll get more bottom line, yeah we're all good. Chrome slots at this point, there you go, okay Tom, we copy and Raja Matthias knows what to do if we lose communication for more than five minutes, but otherwise it's perfect for you. I'll check back with you once we're set up. Well, you have Lively. Views now of NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn the BART aboard the robotic arm working to cover that layer of multi-layer insulation over the antenna getting live views now from the helmet camera of NASA astronaut Caleb Barron on his first spacewalk of Your run while putting on the finish touches the stowage of the downgraded sassa unit back onto the Express Logistics carrier the unit is in good hands attached to the heat and getting your nice blanket over this it is a downgraded unit for now but in case If they ever want to repair it and use it again, it is available for them to do so, it was not necessary to launch a new unit to replace the spare one to the International Space Station for this operation, since it already lived right here where the degraded unit once was, We are in a short but expected delivery period right now.
Meanwhile, on board outside the International Space Station, national astronauts Tom Marshburn and Caleb Barron are working to install the multi-layer facility. This is a large thermal blanket that covers the antenna for protection and thermal protection, plus they are both on each side of the antenna working to secure it, these two space blocking astronauts were launched to the International Space Station as part of the Crew mission 3 earlier this month and as you can see they already went live today, they worked to install a new Sasa unit already part of the International Space Station removing a degraded unit that had partially gone down last September due to other redundancies of communications aboard the International Space Station This spacewalk was not a big rush when it fell in September but Now the International Space Station operations have time to carry out the spacewalk and Kayla Baron and Tom Marshburn have executed it ahead of schedule .
After these finishing touches, NASA astronaut Kayla Baron will work to return the tool bags and other equipment she would need during the spacewalk. she had originally taken out of the mission airlock and returned them in the meantime, Tom Marshburn will prepare to do the steps to the portable foot support in reverse and put them back on the Sita and free himself from the robotic arm of the International Space Station and will join. Kayla Baron back in the mission airlock, now you're watching a live view, this time from NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn's helmet camera, as he hooks that thermal protection cover to the communications antenna during the installing the replacement sassa where the degraded drive is located.
One time, Kayla Baron had connected some wires that gave power to the unit and Tom Marshburn was able to turn the unit on. This all happened before they were going to put the degraded unit away. Now we hear that the unit is recovering and is back. Communications at Sasa, that means the new Sasa is working as expected. If you don't remember the previous one had a failed return link, it meant we could send data to the space station but the antenna lost its ability to send signals. Back on Earth, fortunately, we receive notification that this new Sasa is receiving information and communication both ways.
Now you're getting a live view of Nas astronaut Caleb Baron's helmet camera, his great use, these high definition cameras were seeing this from his perspective. while putting the finishing touches while placing the thermal protection over the degraded sassa unit for future integrity, well this blanket you're looking at may look thin, it's actually made up of several layers sewn together of different materials including mylar um for that purpose. of being able to withstand the changes in heat and cold that the space station experiences several times a day, so while we receive information here on the basis that we are getting good communications back and forth on this newly installed Sasa unit, the crew of our The spacewalk crew today is going to check communications and we may hear Rajachary and Matthias Maurer confirm whether they heard it or not, in addition to these voice checks, the spacewalk astronauts will also check their own equipment.
We'll do a luck check and glove inspection like you've heard them do several times throughout the spacewalk. This is just one more step before they return to the mission airlock to conclude the Eva and Houston station's first round of departure into space. Houston, round five, one reads the clear line, let's move on to two. You're watching NASA astronaut Kayla Baron's camera views and if you look at the top of the screen, you can briefly see some red stripes that belong to Tom Marshburn right now. I am confirming with the rationale that the thermal insulation is where you need to see what is happening because of my from this side because he should adhere oh, I see, yes, there is no equipment inside the cover that should adhere to the towel of the store, um, it's not. pretty flat, like my end has to come towards the Station app, yeah, okay, let's go down a little bit.
You are now hearing the voice of Kayla Baron. I was silent for a moment because she had changed from space to earth to another method. of communication to test the Sasa and we confirmed that those communications checks were good, the good news is that we have a work team with 10 antennas, excellent work, that is fantastic, incredible, congratulations, that is great. The clam shell is not completely closed, but it is how Tom Marshburn and Caleb Baron put the finishing touches on the thermal insulation here at Mission Control Houston. We got a couple of applauses upon hearing the good news that Sasa is working, working well, it has to work.
Um, I don't think so. There's a tab on my side okay, that's lined up, um, so the opening should be facing you exactly facing Venus, yeah, um, so what I would recommend is opening it again, letting it go, and then trying to get it to pop off. ask more before closing it at the top. However, the Clan Trail is very close to the top of the tall gate, okay, so that sounds like a good setup. I'll push the mli up a little bit more to find it, it's a little turtleneck that might have been in the way, let me set that up. up a little bit, you know, that little turtleneck piece is for work, that looks pretty good right there, Tom, if you close it, okay, I think there was a little slap, it was the way we're trying to close it now. better on my side in terms of alignment, here we go, that's a lot better on this side right now too, yeah, that's good Tom, okay, I'm done, yeah, I have to put both straps on.
Okay, there's one, two that hold it. It looks pretty good. Check my feathers I'm all clear, how are you for me? uh, going from here, um, I'm going to look at your stick together, everything looks good, everything looks good on my end and if you don't mind, all of you, in a moment, check your safety. Shaffer handles that one looks good to all of you on your left and uh they can't see that one I can actually see the one in his left hand I just can't see it's down there Sorry good, sorry You're right and I think I'm okay for the trip back so guys real quick I just want to talk to you.
First, I will checkwith you a couple of things. We'll want to get a glove and get checked out. you and uh we also wanted to give you a general idea that we're still about an hour ahead of the timeline and we think we're going to have a chance to get some of these ahead Roger, happy, I love checking work, hi Tom , uh, and while you guys do the checks, we're ready to prepare you for the next maneuver, we'll have to back you up on some of the gcas that you gave us first if you're ready, yeah, yeah, same thing. just a quick little comment, I'm half dry and the pinky finger on my right hand has a couple very small spots on it, but otherwise RTV looks great and for me I still have a few of those to go with they began. kind of black, but now they've erased it, the dark spots on my fingertips and, um, I've noticed that on my fingertips and on the side of the nail there are some rings like some kind of eraser, worn wrinkles, a kind of wrinkle ridges.
I'm going to show you that on my camera I don't know if you want me to cut my hair again for you to review. I'll go ahead and we'll take your hacker back to timeout, okay, copy. We're changing SWAT to your hecka here and Kayla, can you confirm that those wrinkles you're seeing are actually on the RTV copy? Can you see my right hand? Drew, if you could move your right hand to your left, touch Tom more or leave. on your gloves and so you can go ahead and start working on your GPA, you are now getting views through NASA astronaut Kayla Baron's helmet camera, she is checking the gloves as she has done periodically during the walk space.
ER pcas to go back, okay, so first we. We're going to undo the gcas that we gave you, uh, pretty much all at once and then we're going to reset the command frame and roll you back into position, so when you start GCA shortly, you're going to pull up the first DAW to stop that start. The move we also present to you is the same time here, at the end of Kayla Baron's glove check, where she reported the status of her gloves to the ground after handling the SAS equipment. We've now switched to views of Tom Marshburn in the robot. arm wrapping the body you asked for and the throw is done and we will take your body to the left about 70 centimeters sorry, sure, yes, look at your body down now wrap it well, we are only recommending calculating frames and we will let You know, when we are ready to next move, foreign Kayla, we can get you back again and it looks like you're complete with caps, so we'll take that view of your glove, check it out and get it to you.
All right, Tom and uh, the command frame is changed to Isaac's internal frame and we're ready to maneuver it to learn a brief and unexpected inter-satellite handover period in the right corner of the screen, in the upper right corner, go to our flight director Vincent Lacorte. and our ground IV, the one that communicates with our spacewalking astronauts, whose voice you may have heard throughout our previous coverage, communicated to the spacewalkers that we may be able to move forward, as the crew completed their tasks ahead of schedule, we hope to get our live views shortly, we know that Kayla Baron's helmet camera is on and she's looking at her gloves for an inspection right now and Tom, how are you pretty good waiting for the maneuver?
Roger preparing it for you when you have a break in GTA com we will take inventory of your bag hey Kathy I will only do it once they start maneuvering copy that works we are currently in GCA correction. I am currently not GTA which is approved by one of the get. The next tasks are to break the torque or loosen the bolts that connect the DC to DC converter unit for the battery charge and discharge units on the P4 frame of the space station movement here and then we will do a little correction beforehand Also here. movement coming in good movement Andrew working on inventory and I'm ready to give you a crew zip bag inventory also ready we're ready to copy I have a tree zip bag with a small external tear and after Of course the Heather integrated um.
I have an adjustable to an internal D-ring for a GoPro. I have a cat stand for internal reps. I have a large small red with a small hook for an internal D-ring and an adjustable with a large touch to an internal D-ring all on that side close to the other side, helped Kayla Baron complete one of the first tasks in cleaning and taking over his workplace, including inventorying a bag he brought there with his Andrew. The rest of my inventory I have an internal ret to a socket caddy masaki cart. I have an ear rod with a two-inch rigid socket and a six-inch swing socket.
I scratch it with a foam reel in a small red to an internal. D ring and I have a long lasting tie down boom with a long wire tether built in connected to an integral check okay Tom are you ready for the about five minute long prank questions on the ground? I just confirmed that Kayla Baron brought with her. all that brought up another step in cleaning the neighboring workplace towards the front of the dress one of their first tasks of the day was to get these two bags out of the mission airlock and take them to the express logistics carrier where they worked For a lot of this spacewalk on hold, we just wanted to confirm that you were on the move and Thomas, that's okay with you, once you give me a chance, I could finish my inventory of Oru bags so I can work on packing things up, yeah, go ahead and finish that abroad. you have a good inventory of bags and we just wanted to remind you that we need the six inch ratchet to move forward.
I'm sure I was going to ask you if you're okay with me putting the swing socket on the ratchet and taking a ratchet on my mini workstation, yeah that works for us okay, and for the medium Oru bag, I have a red bag large and small with an adjustable that is tied to the mli um and there is also an adjustable on the bottom of the bag externally. I have a large, small, adjustable and a large, small rep, so Kayla, we're going to need the ball stack and in the bag, I agree, good call guys, stand by our trees right now.
Foreign, it has a small one for the external D ring and also. a notable adjustable on the other D ring has a GoPro another adjustable a red integral to the middle of the movement I think I think One Direction ties another one with the uh okay thanks french the farm wheel a little lever red internal D-ring the return integral repeat face covers an internal D-ring and the second caddy with the e-rad and the two-inch connector is on the integral repeat check and Tom, that's a good lock inventory of the team. Kayla Baron had just completed the inventory of the bags she had brought with her for the spacewalk and now we just received confirmation that Tom Marshburn did the same and has everything he needs.
This is what we brought to the mission airlock, with the exception of the tools needed for some. From preview tasks, I had the Mutt and am working on stitching it onto the media cutter you have. I'm 12 years old. Now it's beautiful and faster. I'm already looking around. I have my visor down. Now we are in an orbital day while Kayla Baron was screaming that she has hers red hers and hers mutt. This is the retractable leash and the foreign multi-purpose leash in your position. Wait, let's reconfigure here and we'll be. setting up a GPA to post the AP of our departure, give us a few seconds, okay and we are ready, if you are talking, I am ready, could I clarify that everything is ready.
I'll tell you we're ready to maneuver. GCA to post apfr check out in position, we're ready to have about five feet and then five feet, a very perfect, very juicy initial move, to maneuver clear within yours, the space workers. Walkers Tom Marshburn and Kayla Baron are now finishing their tasks for the day Kayla Barons cleaning the workplace while Tom Marshburn is working to put away the robotic arm tell me one meter excuse any questions about 40 centimeters shorter than posted thank you are you sure I'll check. take the other 40. continuous motion just look at an amazing blue plate, you're going to stop the motion, it's 25 meter shorts, PCA breaks completely, okay and Drew, I think I'm ready for the start, yeah Tom, It seems like we are you.
You are in the starting position and can then securely store your bag in the frame. Just let us know where you put it. Andrew, I have an update for you on my bag inventory. We are waiting. Umut is attached by a large and small rat to a bearing on the adjustable strap of the equipment, um, which is feathered on the inside along the bottom of the bag and my palm oil ratchet wrench has the six oscillating socket inch installed with a good pull test on my mini workstation now and if you're ok I'll sew the tree lock bag onto the media mower your bag, that sounds like a good setup Kayla, we'll go for that while Baron works To store his bags that he brought in the mission airlock Tom Marshburn has to go to Ingress, the robotic arm.
He then works to remove the portable footrest and save it to Sita, who lives outside the space station. You won't need to bring him back to the mission airlock with him and Tom. You can go ahead and withdraw that income aid I. I'll be at work, thank you on time. I can help you rebuild your strap pack. Hello everyone. They drew the acrylic back and saved it at 8 700. You'll see that room, okay, copy and then when you find your green hook, we just want you to do it. tie to that, then you can connect it to your red rail.
There is one for the green hook. The rest of the first. Thank you. Okay, we're about two minutes away from delivery here from delivery and I just wanted to check on you. I feel good to work, some of these ahead for us, I sure feel great. I have the medium, how are you packed and on my DRT? I was going to head over to p44 Alpha. Okay, that sounds good and then, yeah. Could you give us a safer driving check when you get off the ELC, okay, we are in a short but expected handover period. Kayla Baron is talking to the terrain now, um reporting that he is already done with his tasks and when the terrain asks how. she feels and if she is willing to do some of these tasks to move forward, she said she is willing and able.
The controls are down and I have one for Andrew, okay, copy everything, we will deliver it here in a minute or two, my green hook is working. on the red spool and I'm locking it, copy that Tom, that's a good control and then you can release your yellow hook from the arm which is a recent arrest and then you'll connect it to your green rail and lock it in place. We are entering the handover, we hope to regain our live views shortly and when we do, we can soon expect to see NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn free of the robotic arm for the first time in about four hours.
We are now at the In five hours of the six and a half hours planned for Eva, they have completed all their tasks for today and we have a good communications check both on the ground and a verbal confirmation that the astronauts can communicate and hear them well, which it means the new sassy unit installed is working fine guys we're back with you Drew ready for a safety filter we're ready let's look at the ring extender. I have a red hook that is closed and the yellow one locked. The hook is closed and locked on the green spool and the green hook is closed and locked on the red spool and they are both three for a second to unlock for the first time and they are both unlocked okay Tom that's a good set up strap so you can remove the apfr from the arm and you will still be able to get into your brt or lay it there and you will be able to try to maneuver the arm into its parking position.
Marshburn works with the ground to move his straps into a good configuration for getting off. of the robotic arm getting some views of Earth during this orbital day as the International Space Station passes over the South Pacific Ocean and Kayla we wanted to check in with you, we know you have difficult checklist pages and we're probably walking you there. to 4A iea and we go for the 4a3 bcdu that is in the half corner of the side without a radiator in the part of the iea closest to you. I think I'm seeing it right now. See you.
Well actually yes, a battery charge discharge unit, Oru serial number zero zero three two, we are checking according to my hard checklist page that Drew would be bcdu for Alpha three and I'm in the corner of starboard stern t44 Alpha okay Kayla you're on the right bcdu we'll ask you to grab your ratchet wrench and then we'll just do a half or quarter ofturn on H1 and H1 is the Baron on the non-doghouse side who is now working on his advancement tasks, you'll notice. which you only need to turn the bolts slightly, this is because we are usually loosening them for possible future use, hey Roger Matthias, the apfr is removed in the service life, there is a half turn on each one, okay copy that, Kayla and, uh, one thing, I'm warning you.
What I needed to give you is that once we break the torque on those, we won't be able to translate on those micro squares, copy that Kayla and now we're going to go to the PGT and I'll give you the settings when you're ready kaylaBaron now break the torque on the bolts to save time for future spacewalks if, in case they ever need to get desperate, they loosen these bolts that connect the DC-to-DC converter unit to the battery charge and discharge units on the space station's P4 shell. runs from rajachary there who helped with the flight of the robotic arm containing passenger Tom Marshburn.
I'm going to read to you. I have Alpha seven counterclockwise, two set up and I'm listening. Well, those are good settings, first of all, we just want to make sure that you make sure that the socket is fully engaged before you turn the bolt to prevent damage to the bolt and the torque break when you feel movement in the head of the bolt and to avoid damage to the bolt, we don't want to go over half term on the launch, so a little late in giving you that, but I think we're still in a good place and you broke a little bit there on Andrew.
I would say that I turned the ratchet wrench half a turn and that confirms what you want. I drive this, uh Kayla, you have a good understanding, that's right and it only turns half the character. Sorry, I apologize for that, Kayla, so this is on this H1 with PGT, you're in the correct configuration Alpha seven counterclockwise two and we. We are going to do seven laps on this H1. It's going to be a full release of this H1. Well, Kayla Baron gets to work loosening those screws. We're seeing Tom Marshburn taking a look at the portable footstool in his hands. this was connected to the robotic arm that connected his feet to most of the Eva, okay, copy Tom and if we could confirm that the configuration actually ended up a little bit off from what I was hoping to set, the seven configuration right now is the same so that each one let go and I got seven laps and right at about seven laps the TTC gets a little boy just for your words let's move the arm here it should be behind you okay copy Kayla and let's go to reset your PGT to Alpha 7 clockwise as well and this will be for two corrections and Kayla, you're going to do this H2 bolt on all four Alpha 3 bcdu and we'll just take your torque and light turns and Tom for you , we just want to confirm and Tom, unfortunately we would like to get the apfr at 12 o'clock if possible, four five, hopefully, I'll have to use it, okay and then I'll probably wind it well if it's on a low profile. position now, but I turn all the time and then I redo the throw, the throw, but the roll and it will also be at the bottom if I don't copy the position.
I was looking at the low profile situation instead of the number Andrew um. Alpha seven clockwise, two sets, uh, H2 went out almost immediately, about half a turn and green light, 9.1 foot-pounds, okay, that's a good reinstallation on H2. Kayla, then let's move to the same side of the IEA, the non-. side of the radiator and we're going to go to the four Alpha 2 bcdu in the opposite corner. Can I confirm that Drew never releasing H2 with the ratchet was so correct? I just want to make sure I'm following the front here. Right, Kayla, you get that absolutely right, well, PGT solar and head over to Yes, we'll meet you there and that's going to be a ratchet wrench first.
Now you're getting a live view of NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn as he puts on the finish. He refers to saving the portable footstool from him. This connected it to the robotic arm led by Matthias Maurer and Rajachari. This means that the cleanup of his workplace is practically complete now that Tom is out of his robotic arm. Kayla put the bags away and did so. an inventory of their tools, the crew reports that they are feeling pretty good and a couple of advance tasks are underway and I'm in the bbcu that is in the fastest corner of the IEA, just checking on Caleb, well, let's go.
When we're talking about tools, we got a question from YouTube, we kind of mentioned some of the pistol grip tools that the ground IV communicated with the smaller crew, for example, you might hear Alpha 5 cw2, well , Alpha and beta are different torque settings, uh, Bravo is. The more powerful of the two B7s is the higher torque value. Well, we're just checking a couple things here. First thing if you wouldn't mind moving your mini workstation and effector to a handrail instead of the second number indicating the speed is one to one. three three are very fast, so for example if you say Alpha 5 cw2, it means a moderate torque value that goes clockwise with a speed of two, so it's perfectly in the middle between one and three.
Ok, Kayla, you're going to break the torque on both H1 and H1. H2 we're about a quarter to a half turn get your brakes working on both H1 and every two quarters to a half turn good reading Andrew came into the fourth class he's turning black grateful good turn test we're on dad dad okay Tom get that fox to a running alpha and we're in a good setup and the first job on each one is a quarter turn, just moving to H2, copy through the path Alpha, okay, copy that Tom, great job, like that We're not going to have to do anything additional from here, so this will be the time for the camera and the video.
I just wrote to work on H2. I'm finishing the second bbcu and then I have to stop holding back. Tie what happens. Well, think about that. The way to you is that up here and uh for Drew uh HQ broke in a quarter turn Ed PGT yeah, next we will also do H1 Alpha 7 counterclockwise as we return to each one, see what I think about heading towards Kayla, It's okay with you abroad, it's up to you and Kayla if you're going to get there, but in the end she'll end up here pretty quickly. We want Kayla to translate before you.
Ready, we will all be ready. some snaps here ok for Drew I have Alpha seven clockwise on Tuesday and I'm on H1 Kayla the setup will be Alpha 7 counterclockwise as well and I understand I'm releasing completely around a seven seven turned into a good read over seven is released again, well, we'll go ahead and get my team like a bag. Andrew sounds good, uh, that was every turn on H1, the PGC didn't skip this time, but I think it released completely, but I'm not sure what indications I have. Although I noticed that the block unlock indicator um indicates that it was like bouncing, I guess by clicking back and forth near the path to the theater, we check that okay, let's do two more turns on each one.
I'm giving the paddle a couple of pushers okay we see it Andrew it was two more laps on the PD PGT and Bolt seemed to skip this time ok copy Kayla we're going to be ready for you to restart your PGT Alpha 7 and this one will also be clockwise for H2 bolt 7 clockwise, two sets and I'll just adjust my body positions and then let you know when I'm going to start turning and copying. I've got Alpha seven clockwise, two sets and I'll torque drive about a quarter turn, copy that. that sounds good on my 9.2 foot quarter turn okay copy Caleb once they head to the subgroups okay see you there which is in the opposite corner and Drew I have my team like this copy to Tom Kayla while you.
You're heading there, we know you still have that bag of Oru with you if you want to get it out of the way with Temp Stow because we think you might need the brt to do these cable ties here in year two. Drew, copy and Kayla, a couple more words for you, those micro accessories that are in that lithium ion battery next to the Saab that hold the Saab that we are going to restrict, unfortunately they cannot be translated into them and then one last reminder, Kayla , there's the radiator right there at your feet still in the middle, are you in the back copy?
I have a recommended railing for you to take with you when you're working on the cable ties are five one two four foreign foreign here I'm going to go for my first foreign copy, okay, I know you've studied the pictures of this. I can give you any word, but you know that big one is going to go through the tunnel there and then go around it three times changing now to live views of astronaut Kayla. Baron, while working on a couple of advancement tasks before the conclusion of this spacewalk, is breaking torque or loosening a couple of bolts in a couple of different locations on the space station again, unrelated to Sasa, but someday could be useful in In case we ever need replacement parts right here, I have the cable tie through the rubber resistance tunnels of both and I got three half turns, okay Kayla, that looks good and you know, the second cable tag goes on that micro accessory, they are adjacent jobs. and that's on the lithium ion battery on the inside right affirmative after completing her torque breaking task Kayla Baron is now working on her second breakthrough task, this involves attaching cable ties to the blanket boxes of the submarine or from the solar panel and that's what you see its tied up now I have it secured to H2 with you have Swiss copy Kayla and now we're going to take that cable tie that you just put in and we want it to go through that cable connection there to make it like capture it by pressing it down and then use that wire to then grab the loop that you just made on the side exactly Stan and a little bit of work, how far do you expect the baths to turn?
Checking a lot, maybe like I don't know, 30 degrees away. Upwards we wanted to rotate completely against that hard stop as if you had it exactly closer to the micro square. So you're doing it exactly right and let me put this wire underneath, yeah, Kayla, and so that Oru is just to your right. It's the pfcs and we want to be able to get to that robotically, so its tether will give us clear access to it. I'm going to reposition where I have the connection point here if I can, just because I realize it's okay. super tight and uh Drew has an idea for you, would it be okay to thread the H2 cable tie under the cable tie in a loop and then tighten it again that way?
Yes, Kayla, that's exactly what we want you to do, then fold it back and then add three twists to the image. I remembered um and being connected, but I better thank you for my point of view right now as one of the advance tests of it. NASA astronaut Kayla Baron is working to install a set of two long cable ties on the solar panel blanket. boxes and will try to tell me if you can see it on my wvs. I'll show you how much game is definitely clear. The Kayla runner looks great. We are very satisfied with that.
Let's finish that task. I'll work on getting my media cutter, you'll get back in my brt and then you'll hop aboard to join Tom's traffic. Okay, that sounds good, Kayla and I'll see you at your Green Hook. NASA astronaut Kayla Baron just confirmed that she has finished the last of her four advance tasks after installing those cable ties that the terrain confirmed looked great and was exactly what they were looking for, she will now return to Tom Marshburn as return procedures begin. the space station without their spacesuits, how is she doing? Some of you are there.
Awesome. I see some small cleanup steps here and then I'll start my translation. Baron is now following in her footsteps, uh, that she originally took to the work site for her, the advancement tasks are now going in reverse, back to Tom Marshburn, entry procedures will soon begin, which are expected to take a few 25 minutes. I'm Tom and Kayla to both of us, if we could get one last glove and happy. Check it out as Kayla starts to return. Thank you. Surely it can work. Andrew. I have some smoke on the middle finger of my right hand.
I think it looks good. Alright. It's a good control over you. Tom and the little finger stain. my left and middle hand is dry RGB looks good on both hands copy and Drew I have some black spots on my new fingertips I didn't really have them before um but other than that it looks the same as the last report I actually see a a little bit of wear on the outside RTV wear on the outside of my left index finger okay Kayla that's a good glove check and we're ready for you to start moving towards your green hook as you head back up near the antenna Sapphire.
I have a warning for you if we are going to ask you to stay at least four feet away from the P1 South antenna at high gain, but if you stay in the translation path and stay away from the Sasa riser, you will begood. out there, okay, I don't know if my advisor got up real quick before he started coming back and Kayla, I think you said it, but still, actually, if you confirm that your half is a dry copy, I'll wait like 30 seconds for Sun comes out. Come down and we'll put his eyes up and then I'll head back to Tom, we copy it, okay, very good, I'm back at the uh, listen, where you come down later, I'll meet you here, I just came in. unarmed, Tom and Kayla, we are two minutes away from a transfer.
I just wanted to let you know that we're just shy of a six-hour Eva and we'll be meeting you at the airlock here shortly and Kayla will just listen. words for your green hook Roger, the International Space Station has just entered an orbital night and then we get some views of NASA astronaut Kayla Baron from her helmet camera as she returns to the mission airlock on her journey through what will happen The Sassy unit and now we'll stay away from it because it's on and moving. Come on, you're safe. I'm just taking my time here to make sure my safety strap has plenty of places to hang.
Absolutely, yes, take your time, just try to see the uh F antenna here in a minute, I have my media or your bag on my left, so I just want to make sure that I have effective authorization to use the UHF antenna or in a brief but expected handover period as Kayla Baron returns to the mission airlock one last test to move forward that they should do, whether it can be performed by Baron or Marshburn, is to take a photo of a pin that the astronauts took and akiHoshide had installed at the airlock pass last September during his spacewalk.
The original showed some wear and the two international astronauts replaced it. My green aspect is on my red wheel. We copy. I continue with my translation for the next flight. It's beautiful, so you come, let me take this part a little slower, the difficult part of the translation. NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn just confirmed that he has a picture of Kayla Baron, she is paving the way for the speed at which two spacewalking astronauts can enter internationally. space stations together, okay, um, Tom, could you move further out absolutely if you're right below where I need to go down?
Look, I was just tracking your security cover to see where you get off. Okay, do it now. Hey, how's that? Better. Thank you. I think each other is against the uh look at the railing now if Jordan comes down my fear they saved each other Tom okay you're heading to Ohio the two astronauts are now heading towards the airlock as was their first task of the day Kayla Baron had They removed the thermal hatch cover and now she will be the one to open it again. They will get to work putting away their bags and the equipment they brought with them before entering.
Look between your feet because you continue. Just talk again when you get to the turn point it's clear there it's clear I think it was happening but thanks for that, let me know, we're going to move your feet forward a little bit uh station when you turn the corner oh, it's getting tougher now It looks better. I see it just so you know. Tom, you're stuck in the corner of this mli. It will be easy for you to clear the way. Bye bye. I want to move it because it held it well. Fine, thanks. I want to see this first. and Kayla you have to go open the thermal cover when you get to the airlock.
Well, I'm also in Petersburg. I am clear that in my life Professor Julie Andrews brought down a local league and the thermal cover is open. Kayla Coffee. The thermal covers open and you can store the bags as you wish. We know you also have that ratchet wrench still on your mini workstation if you want to take it off and store it separately. Baron just verbally confirmed that the thermal hatch. The deck is open, one of the first steps back to the mission airlock. She now goes to work to save some of the bags containing the tools they needed to replace the degraded Sasa.
Now the six-hour spacewalk with NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn is approaching. and Kayla Baron Baron's first spacewalk and Marshburn's fifth of his career, the mission's airlock is now visible on your screen. I digressed a little, ready to get some more, here girls, there you go and when you're ready Kayla you can attach your ata the right waste to the airlock D-ring extender and close it, it's worked on right now, my waste pen is attached to the airlock hearing extender, the color side a lot and Tom, I'm going to get the stadium Oru bag in a real airlock rat.
Quick and then I'll be ready to go out of your way and grab the other double zip bags and then Tom we have a last half for you after you take that double zip bag to Kayla if you can use your D5 camera and take some photos of the AFT well pin on the front hinge of the patch. I think you've seen the diagrams, so go ahead and take pictures of all those correct appearances, as if astronaut Tom Marshburn was assigned to the last advance task of the day. to photograph a pin in the hinge of the hatch installed during the first international spacewalk outside the mission's airlock I assist you on my way I will finish entering Paul Marshburn takes that photo Baron is disappearing from view as the airlock enters mission air, his feet are now visible as he is almost completely in, here we go, hey Emma, ​​are you in golden medium?
Hey, Tom, okay, get dressed Julian, I have a team like back here, you have a hand on me, I have the airlock, Road and me. I'm going to free yours, are you ready for it? Let's see, I'm ready, yes, thank you, let me know when you're safely inside the safe, which is already complete, you say, uh, you're exhausted or you're ready to move on and you have. To go to Ingress, well, Marshburn is now entering the mission airlock while astronaut Rajatari left Matthias Maurer and headed back to the equipment airlock where he will help Baron and Marshburn take off their suits with the help of the other suit.
IV. mark vandehey, okay, you and Tom are going to take Kayla's anchor hook and place it on her right waist strap and then confirm that it is closed. Amanda hi and Charlie now take a couple of photos as Marshburn heads back towards the crew lock once he arrives. and the door is closed, repressurization can begin to lower the PSI of the vacuum to a PSI of approximately 14.7, at which point the hatch can be opened and Rajatari and Mark Vandehei will move the astronauts back to the equipment lock to Help them take off their suits. each other we just closed in a lot of copy time and you can recover your anchor that was recovered, that's all.
I'm going to go in and fix this and Tom, if you could just shut us down and then go to Ingress. That works, the button, how is it?, and Tom, we just wanted to check with you and make sure you take a couple of foreign photos. Yes, copy, thank you. You will move into retail positions. Get that alien view now at the feet of astronaut Tom. Marshburn as she returns to the airlock NASA astronaut Kayla Baron, her spacewalking colleague for the day, is already inside, working to put away some of the bags she brought filled with tools.
All major tasks completed today to replace a defective one. Communications antenna and replace it with a working one and also all your forward tasks are complete, much appreciated and Tom that's all we needed you can continue that's your SD stop for a second your SDU got trapped on his foot, yes and no. are you okay, yes, I have the bags right here, so if they are in your way, please don't, okay, the foreign Baron and Marshburn are now working together to set up their bodies and their equipment in the airlock so that repressurization can begin to slowly return to the outside.
The person you see on the screen now is NASA astronaut Mark Vandehei and sometimes we also see astronaut Rajachari floating around. They are the IV suits for today's operation helping Baron and Marshburn get into and out of their spacesuits. If you can verify it, we said the magnet actually activated. I have to let it go completely. Extra hand there. They said: Hey, Misu is online and she lost Caleb at a weird angle. Are you working. You are looking at NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn's gloves. as designated by the number 22 in the corner, we're getting his perspective as he tries to close the barrel door one two three.
The view you're looking at is the thermal cover of the mission's airlock once Tom Marshburn closes it. then they could work on closing the hatch, which Throne will cover just an extra layer of protection for the hatch door from the elements of space. The Eva doesn't conclude once the door is closed, but when the spacesuits are removed from the internal battery there just isn't a strong enough magnet it doesn't seem like time to copy and copy and, uh, we'll just ask that you make sure you do your best effort to get the magnet to latch and then attach it to six black lines on that tail.
I have six. there's still a little bit of space, that's the limit of what's adjustable and, yes, Magnus isn't participating, tell us six for just a second and then he jumps very close to me, however, yes, I'm looking at that five inch space four . inches Space with the middle, get down behind me, um, it's close to you, oh, those were your feet, okay, let's get down there Tom, we were wondering if you could try to manipulate it a little bit because we think it's flexing so the magnet doesn't quite engage the um because it's like it's almost all the way tight, it doesn't go in well, so it may be about halfway for me, you mean the chest was the size of a small bell and I'm pulling uh, It'll probably go all the way to the end of the thermal cover, Tom, if you hold it with your left hand like you are and then push down the middle with your right hand.
Yes, I did, we'll poke him in the ribs with our right. The hand went up to the left and let go, just getting enough magnetic force. I see a curve in the area again. I have all my ribs out, at least in my mouth. In fact, stay intact now instead of barely. releases, so now it's all the way up, okay Tom, we like a very light touch to get it out, yeah, we're going to go ahead with it, it looks good and we're going to go ahead and ask you to take your SEO out of your bag. open the cover of your DCM and then connect and verify that we are connected and closed.
Well, Marshburn confirms that the thermal hatch cover is closed. He worked with the floor to make sure it was flush and stayed closed. How is yours going? Kayla, I'm online. I'm also logged in Drew, both SV users are logged in, okay, copy, they're both logged in to his and they're locked in place. I have a note for you here. We recommend the tcv setting between 8 and Max cold, this is dialed towards your dial towards your feet when we move on to the next steps oh happy Roger I'm an eight what's up Kayla okay guys it's time to go?
The water switch is off, you can expect a h2oth message. My water is cut off. I have the HTO it's amazing. message OK, that starts our two minute timer. Baron and Marshburn are now moving through the final steps of their entry procedures, including turning off the water. They will soon check that the hatch is clean and ready to close and the password is clear, OK and then you can also check that the position of the handle is as per the sticker, it says additional sticker, okay, copy then, we will let you know when run the timers and turn off the water in your extravehicular mobility units, also known as spacesuits, is a process that is expected to take about two minutes, that's right, okay, so we still have a little bit of time.
I just wanted to say something, yeah, Tom, we have time, hey, copy, I just want to make sure that we still have a good composition and, uh, it's pretty amazing that the team. is able to accomplish this in just a few weeks and have Kayla and I training and Roger at the party the ability to do something so quickly is just fantastic uh Vincent Lacourt as a team who are just an exceptional Banner our Thompson and Greer will be us gave us all the tools we needed and gave us perfect instructions gave us all the information in an understandable way and uh we were just executing their suggestions of what they told us forgive us with the suits off safely um Drew of course fantastic job always es IV and Christian Louboutin López for putting together those perfect and very precise robotic maneuvers.
I know it was a lot of sleepless nights, everyone is weak even that together and eventually Linda and the training team put that all together, of course, on quick notice. gave us everything we needed to be successful today, so congratulations to everyone, we really appreciate it guys, we really appreciate the kind words and on behalf of the entire team at Eva 78 Eda, it was a real pleasure to develop this and execute it with You guys did a fantastic job. job, thanks for restoring the s band on the ISS EU, it was a great morning, Tom Kayla, a couple ofprofessionals and Mark Roger Matthias, thank you so much for helping us do this great job, we're about a minute and a half into delivery and you're going to close the hatch in no time, hey, half a year, copy Tom, we understand that the EV hatch is closed and locked.
Kayla for you at the UIA, check that the oxygen for valves one and two of the emu is open. AMU one and us. We are in a short delivery window, but the crew in orbit is in the crew lockout section of the mission. They are going through some checks at the moment before repressurization can begin. You have to play with everything about Kayla. I think we cut it there. on a delivery we just wanted to check that the oxygen for Emu valves one and two are open one and two both are open okay copy and then also in the UIA change the power for ev1 and two check it turns on and verify that all four LEDs are on, let's see, so EV one and two are on and the Emu LEDs are on the Orlon LEDs are off, it's two LEDs, yes Kayla, that's good, check my mistake and then we will also check the voltage for ev1 and ev2 1 8 decimal six for both ok that's a good check for both and now on your dcms you can switch the power to SCU ok and you can wait for a warning tone for hours on SCU's free YouTube, very good, copy both from there.
We'll hand you over to Mark and Raja to continue suppressing Drew, Johnny, and the rest of the team. Thank you for taking such good care of these people and accomplishing the mission so well. Kayla and Tom, I asked you to crush. But man, they crushed it three times, so we're going to go into a step on your DCM O2 actuator to press through the actuator that's going to press ah, I O2 is actually impressed, but the ev202 actuators press yeah, six minutes, six hours and 30 minutes on NASA's astronaut Eva. Mark Vande, high on the right of the screen, is guiding the two spacewalking astronauts through repressurization procedures.
Copy those who are impressed. Tom. Verify that the EV hatch is closed. Yes. EDS information is closed. Good. I'm going to start suppressing the crew lock, so I'm going to go halfway between off and normal for a couple of minutes. Let me know if you want me to speed it up or slow it down or just not stop it. Here we go, oh, so far you're ready for me too. crew lockout goes up to four PSI, you can expect an alert tone like my feet are in my face, everyone's okay, okay, I have plenty of room, so could you both think about me speeding this up a little bit, he concluded.
Eve. 11 47 AM CST 1247 EST, which marks the end of the The end of a US Eva is marked when repressurization has begun and the pressure in the crew airlock is increasing, is approximately 1, 1 PSI, the total time of today's spacewalk was 6 hours and 32 minutes, a little more, okay, a little more, yes, I'm. I'm ready for a little more, but it's getting hard for us to hear you here, so you have to give me some hand signals. I copied some more, that's stable at the moment and going well. Potentially it goes up a little more, but maybe only. leave it here yes, I think I could, if you want, open it a little more.
I'm happy with this too, give me a thumbs up, speed up a little more, here we go. Mark, if you could slow down a little. a little happy, slow down a little bit, okay, we're getting close to four PSI again, you can expect an alert tone, okay, our next step is where we get the five PSI. I'm going to turn off the hash equalization valve IV, we're waiting. so you can expect another alert home for that well, it didn't give me Z93 on my happy nosy 93. As far as I know, I didn't cheer up Kayla either, okay, we just hit 5 PSI, we're starting our timer, foreign pressure to stabilize. and then we'll see what difference we get the next minute Roger, what do you think is amazing?
The thing is, yes, and you just heard the NASA astronaut comment on her first spacewalk that it was incredible, this was Eva number 245. for maintenance and updates to the station assembly, it was the thirteenth spacewalk of the year for the ISS. This was Marshburn's fifth spacewalk, giving him a total of 31 hours and one minute of spacewalking outside the space station. This is Baron's first spacewalk, so today's total. spacewalk of 6 hours and 32 minutes is his record as this is the 245th spacewalk totaling 1548 hours and 26 minutes or the equivalent of 64 days, 12 hours and 26 minutes. This is the first Eva from Expedition 66.
That was the uh Mass Vault. It looked like some kind of expansion of a beast, yes, yes, it was. I think it was just that they both go so deep in that setting, so it's very difficult to get good visibility if you're really sitting and if you're really driving, um, we have. there, yeah, there and now, recapping with Tom what his first spacewalk was like, it was hard to tell until I actually thought that when I had it fully activated you could see Big Bolt moving down, um, it was hard to tell what it would look like .
Until it happened, part of the day for me was figuring out, well, those gimbal bolts, but the APR was the hardest thing I had to do today. Have you ever worn that necklace? I think you are surely in the heart. he stops it and passes that and appears in the full lock collar, yes the missing color, yes the space walk started at 5 15 am. m. central time 6 3 p.m. m. Eastern time, almost an hour ahead of schedule, it concluded at 11:47 a.m. m. central time, which gives us a total of 6 hours and 32 minutes because they are very far from the handrails and also you have to reach pretty high too because it is in the frame and it's time for us to have a good leak check, so that we will continue with the crew blockade represses the copy, so let's turn off the glove warmers.
My glove warmers are off. The elevator is going to turn off. John, let me know when the glove warmers are off and then we'll turn off the air. Now check your gloves for contamination. Please let us know if we have any negatives for one large enough. I have the dark stains I reported above, but since they are black I think you can safely say it is not 1883 paint, let's just say there is no contamination, thanks for copying. Houston, you copy, Houston copy, no problems, okay, Houston is fine with that and we'll move on, so both DCMs taking their actuators from O2 to IV didn't work.
Good job. The O2 actuators TV2 and IV, yes, dv1 or two actuators are. Getting there Equalization valve out. I was hoping that was true because that alignment pin can rotate around that alignment pin, um, but until you pull a bolt out, it's kind of hard to tell. Yes, the PSI on the crew lock is constantly increasing. now reaching around 9 PSI, your instructions for removing and installing the Mil Graphics were perfect, yes it worked surprisingly well. I think so, I was surprised, it was like pulling out that light box, but we got there, yeah, I'm a gimbal cradle sheet believer that uh, I felt like what we ended up doing should be what we should do, but when they got over it, It was very good, you worked very well.
NASA astronauts Kayla Baron and Tom Marshburn started their day removing the degraded subset of the S-band, oh wow, so I felt like you know the belly toward Earth was an interesting prospect, there's not much to hold on to, so I know, yeah, with your um, you know you have your hand those handrails along the edges and then your feet hanging over the edge of the Earth very slowly, although yeah, very good, Kayla, we're getting close to getting a dpdt about zero, when that happens, you can expect an alert tone or that, uh, make a radio frequency cable, I forgot what they call it on top of this killer's system that was right there, anyway, let's go to 1,240 the post-Eva procedure, the pressure in the crew lock is now 14.7 PSI, foreign friend of NASA.
Astronaut Mark Vander High is working to open the hatch so Baron and Marshburn can go through many passes overseas working to get the first spacewalker back through the hatch. Thanks, best of luck Houston, in one, the EV crew is no longer hot micted and it looks like Kayla Baron just completed her first spacewalk as the first to return to high school Chari and Vanda are now working to remove their units more safe. The jetpack backpack that would have been used in case of an emergency was not necessary today. Baron's safest unit is Now retired, you can see Tom Marshburn still in the airlock of the crew lock.
He has the suit with the red stripes. Astronauts Kayla Baron and Tom Marshburn began their day by removing a degraded S-band subset, just one of the many communications antennas aboard the space station. The space station had lost partial functionality a few months ago, but thanks to several built-in redundancies, the crew saw minimal impact on your operations. They brought a spare sassa already on board connected to express logistics carrier number three and put it on the downgraded sasa. On site on the P1 shell of the International Space Station, they set up this bear, plugged it in, turned it on, and did a communications check to verify it was working.
The team here at Mission Control confirmed that they saw the communications antenna online and heard the voice. check out that spacewalkers restored S-band capability to the International Space Station this morning. They finished the day by putting away the degraded antenna, connecting it to a heat source, and tucking it in for the night with a thermal blanket that covered it. Kayla Baron was able to complete some progress tasks, including torqueing some of the bolts on the battery charging and discharging units and connecting some cable ties. Both are now on the team lock. They completed all of their tasks for today, including the advancement tax, including the advancement tasks, and in the words of astronaut Mark Vanda high up on the far side of the screen, they crushed it three times.
Marshburn concluded the fifth Eve of his career with some kind words, noting that it was incredible that they were all able to accomplish this in just a few weeks. and nodded to his support team, including Eva Officer Art Thomason, our flight director Vincent Lacorte, and all the people here on the ground, including those monitoring the spacesuits and robotics, we can know their location in a friendly reminder to perform decimal step 17 for the helmet. double straps Charlie and Vanda hello on your screen helping the spacewalkers take off their spacesuit now that it has concluded, after this they will remove their gloves and helmet, take off the rest of their spacesuits and head off for a well-deserved rest .
Caleb Barron's helmet. It's off now as he works to remove his gloves. Next up we are about to see rajachar as he helps Tom Marshburn take off his helmet and there we have NASA astronaut Tom Marshburn with his helmet off. This concludes the spacewalk for these two NASA astronauts. Now that they have achieved their goal of restoring S-band capability to the International Space Station in 6 hours and 32 hours of spacewalking, replacing a degraded Sasa unit with a spare on board, the space exchange concluded at 11:47 a.m. , Marshburn Central Time. He officially had his fifth facewalk in the books, giving him a total of 31 hours and one minute dressed and supporting space station maintenance and assembly on a spacewalk.
Kayla Baron wrapped up the first spacewalk of her career and ended it with a fascinating review saying it was incredible. Next, NASA will present its astronaut class of 2021 at 12:30 p.m. ET on Monday, December 6 from Ellington Fields here at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. After completing their training, these individuals could be eligible for a variety of flight assignments, including missions. on and around the Moon through NASA's Artemis program, one of our spacewalkers today, Kayla Baron on the left of the screen, along with Rajachary there in the middle, who helped operate the robotic arm, were selected in 2017, which is the last time NASA brought in new additions. to the astronaut core now in 2021, we're ready to do it again, so tune in to find out who these people could be.
Thank you all for following us and see you later, we will see deeply into the heart and veins of our forever- The changing images of the Earth are worth a thousand words. They are the model of our future to unlock the full potential of the unique Vantage Point of the space we have created.
