Robert Satcher's Self-Portrait
 Astronaut Robert Satcher uses a digital still camera to expose take a self-portrait during the STS-129 mission's first spacewalk. During the six-hour, 37-minute spacewalk, Satcher and astronaut Mike Foreman installed a spare S-band antenna structural assembly to the Z1 segment of the station's truss, or backbone. Satcher and Foreman also installed a set of cables for a future space-to-ground antenna on the Destiny laboratory and replaced a handrail on the Unity node with a new bracket used to route an ammonia cable that will be needed for the Tranquility node when it is delivered next year. The two spacewalkers also repositioned a cable connector on Unity, checked S0 truss cable connections and lubricated latching snares on the Kibo robotic arm and the station's mobile base system.

NewsWe have a room again! Sort of…Where:Room 8-209 When:(UPDATE) MTWThF, ‘Mornings’-7pm Bad News:The room can only be used when an officer is present, and it’s really an upper division lab room… so be careful, or DIE!!! Also, if there are too many people in the room, we’ll have to ask some to vamoose, so as to minimize entropy within the system. Good News:Officers will have a key, and the stockroom is willing to open it up for us. Note:It is open to SPS members, and physics majors and minors only! Comments are closed. |
