The following items were discussed:
1. Flight Readiness
- STS—92 (3A) Post-Flight Support
DX requested that ER provide data on post-flight SAFER GN2 levels (post-flight checkout and present level).
- STS—97 (4A) Manifest Support
ER will replace the blown pyro valve on SAFER unit S/N 1004 with a new pyro valve (and also on 1003 is there is sufficient time to do so).
- STS—98 (5A) Manifest Support
ER stated that SAFER SED33105900-309, S/N 1004 and either S/N 1003 or 1006 (depending on how the work goes on S/N 1006) will be flying on STS-98:
EP stated that 3 batteries (SED33105907-305) would be picked from among S/Ns 1024, 1025, 1026, 1027, 1028 or 1030 to fly on STS-98.
DX/Kenny Vassigh will verify with DX/Alan Groskreutz if an On-Orbit Stowage Bag is necessary for stowage on 5A.
NC/Ron Cook asked ER to request a memo from LM/James Shu stating that there are no problems with launching the SAFER in the MPLM.

R2 is in work by ER to delay implementation until 6A.
- CR H-0760 SAFER NBL & 1-G Hi-Fi Mockup Upgrades
Refurbishment and upgrades on Safer Mockup TSED33105900-303 S/N 1001 are in work:
- Decals are on hand controller are in place
- Detents to hold hand controller are in place.
- Hand controller umbilical upgrades are completed.
- Hand controller tray repairs are completed.
- Hand controller deployment in work.
- Delivery date for this mockup will be 11/15/00
Upgrades to SAFER Hi-Fi unit, S/N MU002 is waiting on Dial Latch replacement.
- CR H-0788, -305 SAFER Battery Design, Fabrication & Implementation
- CR H-0865, SAFER Thermal Enhancements
The thermal enhancements (-309 configuration) to the SAFER S/N 1003 are scheduled by to be completed by 5A.
Proposed CR’s
- CR H-0749 R1, SAFER On-Orbit Trainer
Funding has been received for the SAFER on-orbit trainer. ER/Pat McCartney will provide XA will a final cost. DX stated that crew training needs to start 03/01 or 04/01.
- CR H-0806,-307 Rechargeable Battery CR
Funding will not be provided for the —307 rechargeable battery. There are plans for a "Next Generation SAFER" which will probably not need a dedicated rechargeable battery.
- CR H-0843, Latch Redesign
On hold until hi-fi mockup latches can be replaced with flight-like latches.
- Extension of HCM Deployment Actuator and the Manual Isolation Valve Actuator
XA needs redlined comments on the extension CR from ER.
- IMS Labeling
CR draft in work. SAFER labeling needs to be completed by 7A.
- On-Orbit Stowage Bag Modifications (Docking Loads)
MV/Dorothy Rasco is working on the problem of locating a subsystem manager. XA stated that if a subsystem manager cannot be found to take over the responsibility, XA will purchase ISS bags that already have their certification.
- Issues
The Launch Landing Bag Cushion #528-33548-10 (used on STS-106 and to be used again on STS-97) was reviewed by Gary Morgan and Armon Knight at STS-97 Bench Review. SAFERs 1005 & 1007 were fit checked in the cushion. They observed approximately .5″ clearance around the HCM Slider. No binding was evident.
5. Special Topics
None.
- EHB Presentation
- CCB Presentation
None.
11/07/00 XA/Anh Huynh to present closure to action on delta V capability, and ER/Kevin Lewis to present closure to action of thermal capability.
- PRCB presentation
None.

Closed. |
00-10-03 | E. Darcy | EP will present the reduced battery acceptance test requirement (from lesson learned on s/n 1028) to the EHB for information. | 09/28/00: Assigned. ECD 10/25/00. 10/26/00: EP will present the reduced battery acceptance test requirement at the 11/01/00 EHB. If not presented on 11/01/00, then action will be transferred to the EHB for closure. 11/02/00: EP presented the reduced battery acceptance test requirement at the 11/01/00 EHB. SAFER-BAT-002 Rev D is in the signature loop. Closed. |
00-10-06 | K. Lewis | ER will update the SAFER Verification Matrix for both configurations —307 and —309. | 10/12/00: Assigned. ECD TBD. 10/26/00: New ECD: 11/22/00. Transfer to EVA Tools Panel. |
00-10-08 | G. Morgan K. Lewis | Provide the Launch/Landing Bag configuration for STS-106, STS-101 and STS-96.Review and compare the configurations to determine how this affects the way the SAFER would experience vibration within the Launch/Landing Bag. | 10/12/00: Assigned. ECD TBD. 10/26/00: New ECD: 11/02/00. To be closed if not performed by 11/02/00. Troubleshooting is ER’s responsibility. 11/02/00: ER stated that the foam around the SAFERs appears to be identical for all three configurations. The only differences seen among the three drawings were the cutout for the items in the bag with SAFER. ER saw nothing to explain why the door would open with one foam configuration and not another. Closed. |
