Discovery remained in the VAB until Atlantis launched because of concerns about having two stacks on the pads during hurricane season.
Launch mass was 115125 kg. Landing mass was 92739 kg (press kit values). Mass at docking is 111023 kg. At Oct 16, docked mass is 171784 kg. ISS mass is 69445 kg? STS mass is 102339 kg? At Oct 21 mass is 97911 kg.
Cargo transfer of 9978 kg including 8324 kg Z1 and 1156 kg PMA-3, 498 kg other. That 498 kg includes internal cargo transfer; it may also include the ETSDs (188 kg?) and the DDCUs (116 kg), or these may be included in the Z1 mass. For the time being I will assume it is internal cargo. SODB says deployed is 9978, retrieved 133. Non-deployed bay cargo of 2122 kg includes the 300? kg ICBC, the 1400 kg pallet, about 160 kg of DDCU carriers, and 262 kg remaining - which may be extra pallet-attached hardware.
The SGANT deployed is 374 kg per a prelaunch (DAC9) analysis. I have 88 kg for antenna, 34 kg for SGTRC, leaving 252 kg for the boom and attach hardware. The total of Z1 ORUs is then 2267 kg; if Z1 is 8324 kg total, then it is 6057 bare. Another source gave 8765 kg for Z1 mass which would require the other figures to be adjusted accordingly.
On Oct 5, a concern about the ET explosive bolts caused a scrub. Weather forbade on Oct 9 attempt. On Oct 10 a small loose pin lying on the ET noticed by the ice team caused a scrub.
The Ku-band system failed, taking out live TV and requiring the crew to use the TCS laser rangefinders and optical star trackers for navigation during rendezvous.
On Oct 14, a power spike took out the keel camera and the SVS during RMS uncradle, but backup systems restored the SVS.
In the first EVA, the Z1-to-Unity umbilicals are connected. The SASA (S-band) is moved from the DDCU install location to a deployed location. The SGANT (Ku-band) is moved to a new location on Z1 and deployed.
On EVA-4, Wisoff and Lopez-Alegria finished up the work. They cycled the Z1/P6 latch, deploy an ammonia coolant attachment panel, and move the Z1 keel pin to a storage location. They then tested the SAFER backpacks, making semi-free flights with a slack tether.
After two waveoffs, landing was at RW22 EAFB for the first Edwards landing in 4 years.
