Last 24 Hours Status

C&C Recovery Activities

• The C&C 2 computer continues to function nominally. C&C 3 and C&C 1 are in diagnostics. All of the remaining MDMs are in sync. The GNC MDMs were recovered this morning after a hiccup during the attempt to sync them with C&C 2 and are functioning nominally. GNC-2 is primary.


• Testing continues in ISIL to verify the data load to DRAM in C&C 3 in order to be able to reload C&C 3 and bring it up as a backup C&C MDM. The team continues to work through the checksum errors experienced during ISIL testing today.


• Testing also continues on the use of ePCS as a redundant computer for MPLM operations in ISIL. The crew was able to locate a ePCS laptop with the correct load and is in the process of checking it out. Two attempts to power on the laptop has been no joy. Flight Controllers and the MER continue to discuss options to get the ePCS up and running. The C&C Anomaly Resolution Team expects to have the procedures ready by 10:30am today.


• FCT is looking at deberthing the MPLM around noon our time with the anticipation that ePCS or C&C 3 will be ready to go. Flight will wait for a go from the MER prior to proceeding with MPLM deberthing operations.


• The ART is also looking at the procedures required to perform an R&R of C&C 1 with Payload MDM 2 and use the R&R’d MDM as the backup C&C MDM.

TVIS

• The crew will be starting activities on TVIS today. The procedures have been uplinked to the crew for them to begin that activity.

LAB Smoke Detector

• The Lab smoke detector PD 1 was reported failed today. The flight controllers attempted to recover the detector with no joy. Operations are safe to continue with the failed detector. A spare detector is on orbit and will take approximately 40 minutes to R&R.

PCU

• Due to the potential that PCU software caused the NCS MDMs to go to diagnostics, the PCU will not be reactivated. Based on thermal predictions, it is believed that the PCUs may have dipped below the acceptable lower thermal limits. Given the priority of regaining a safe computer state, the MER concurs with not jeopardizing the computer configuration.

Planned Operations

• The Shuttle water vent and reboost of the ISS were performed.

Mission Extension

• The IMMT has officially extended the mission by one docked day with the possibility of two additional days.

Upcoming Events for GMT 2001/117 Flight Day 10 (All times CDT)

• FD 10 will be replanned due to C&C MDM problems.
