ISS MER Daily Report

Date: 10/12/00

STS 92/ISS 3A

(3:00 a.m. 10-12-00 to 3:00 a.m. 10-13-00)

All ISS systems are is in nominal flight/stage configuration with the exception of the following:

• FGB Smoke Detectors 1, 3, 4, and 5 have been powered OFF.


• SM Smoke Detector 7 is failed.


• SM Solar Array #II portion of inboard panel segment not deployed.


• SM Batteries #4 and #5 are off line.

• Three SWIS downlink were completed. Assessment of the third SWIS downlink showed that the DDCU-HP port CHIA (Cargo Handling Interface Adapter) temperature is slightly higher than expected. This was due to the Orbiter attitude. The temperature stabilized around 37°
  C, which is below the upper survival limits set for the DDCU.


• SM Battery 4 was brought on line briefly. HSG reported that cycle mode was still on and the battery was taken off line.


• The Orbiter Ku band has failed and the S-band is used to downlink the SWIS data through Ground stations.


• APCU checkout was successfully performed.


• Crew will be using the MRK fans during the Z1 Outfitting to increase ventilation.


• Plans are to have The Node hot soaked after the FD04 ingress in order to raise its temperature as high as possible to protect against later power-downs. Effect of the higher temperatures in the Node on the RPCM is being investigated.

• Docking @GMT: 288:17:55 (12:55 pm 10-13-00)


• PMA2 Ingress @ GMT: 288:20:32 (3:32 pm 10-13-00)


• NODE 1 Ingress @ GMT: 288:21:32 (4:32 pm 10-13-00)


• PMA1 Ingress @ GMT: 288:22:07 (5:07 pm 10-13-00)


• Transfer OPS @ GMT: 288:22:22 (5:22 pm 10-13-00)
