Mission Control Center, Houston, Texas
Aboard the shuttle are Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Eric Boe and
mission specialists Don Pettit, Steve Bowen, Heidemarie
Stefanyshyn-Piper, Shane Kimbrough and Sandra Magnus. The station crew,
Commander Mike Fincke and flight engineers Yury Lonchakov and Greg
Chamitoff, watched the Kennedy Space Center launch on a special
television feed from Mission Control.
Magnus will become a
station crew member, beginning a three-month stay shortly after
docking. She will replace Chamitoff, who will return to Earth aboard
Endeavour to end his six-month stay in space.
During the
15-day mission, spacewalking crew members Piper, Bowen and Kimbrough
will rotate on four spacewalks. Most of their time outside will focus
on fixing the ailing starboard Solar Alpha Rotary Joint. They also will
replace a depleted nitrogen tank, relocate hand-propelled carts that
run along the rails of the station's main truss and lubricate the
grapple fixture on the end of the station's Canadarm2. Additionally,
they will install global positioning system antennas and a new
television camera on the truss.
Endeavour will deliver to the
station water recycling racks, a second toilet, a new exercise device,
food warmers, a refrigerator, an experiment freezer and a combustion
science experiment rack. Much of the material brought up by Endeavour
is in the multi-purpose logistics module Leonardo, to be removed from
the shuttle cargo bay Monday and attached to the station for unloading.
The crew will begin a sleep period at about 1:55 a.m. Saturday
and awaken at 9:55 a.m. The next shuttle status report will be issued
after crew wakeup, or earlier if events warrant.
