ISS MER Daily Report

Date: 10/13/00

STS 92/ISS 3A

(3:00 a.m. 10-13-00 to 3:00 a.m. 10-14-00)

All ISS systems are 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.


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

• Docking was nominal, with the exception that no "close" indication of X4 connector was received. Data pass is nominal, and VI is investigating the issue.


• The ISS is mated to the Orbiter with the SM MCS in free drift (indicator mode). The Orbiter is providing attitude control in the XPOP flight attitude.


• FGB and SM solar arrays were successfully moved to Position 2 (preparing for docking). After docking FGB and SM solar arrays resumed sun-tracking.


• Power allocation is 1500 W. SM Batteries 4 and 5 are off line. All FGB batteries are nominal.


• OSO reported that the PTAB procedure for SM would not be available until Monday. OSO believes that we will have sufficient time to implement if SM ingress is requested.


• Both APCUs were successfully activated.


• FDO/TOPO are coordinating with USSPACECOM on a potential conjunction. The object is presently appears to be in yellow maneuver box.


• Cabin Fan operation at 5000 rpm vs. 3900 rpm is being considered to provide better veneration.

• Z1 Grapple @ GMT: 289:13:32 (08:32 am 10-14-00)


• Z1 Unearth @ GMT: 289:13:47 (08:47 am 10-14-00)


• Z1 Install (CBM OPS) @ GMT: 289:15:12 (10:12 am 10-14-00)


• PMA1 Ingress @ GMT: 289:17:57 (12:57 pm 10-14-00)


• FGB Ingress @ GMT: 289:18:12 (13:12 pm 10-14-00)


• Transfer OPS @ GMT: 289:18:17 (13:17 pm 10-14-00)


• Z1 Ingress/Outfit #1 @ GMT: 289:18:22 (13:22 pm 10-14-00)


• CMG Jumper Install @ GMT: 289:18:29 (13:29 pm 10-14-00)


• ISS Egress @ GMT: 289:21:27 (13:27 pm 10-14-00)
