STS-98 (Atlantis)
2001-006A
Launch mass of STS-98 is 115527 kg; landing mass 90223 kg. Destiny is to be connected to Unity.
At the end of the docked phase, orbiter mass is 95242 kg and Station mass is 104690 kg for a total mass of 199932 kg. Deployed mass is 14637 kg, retrieved 396 kg. IVA cargo 1377 kg (inc 130? kg EMU and 450 kg CWC), Lab 13547, other EVA 167 (SASA 103, PDGF 35, unknown 31) total 15091 - discrepancy of 454 kg, may be the CWCs.
Adopted RevL Other Destiny 13547 13691 14056 PDGF 33 + 45 = 78 34 + 37 = 71 SASA 103 + 120 = 223 103 + 163 = 266 Other 69 Middeck 1377 781-539
EVA-1 will see move of PMA-2,
Ivins grappled the PMA-2; then electrically controlled bolts were released, the external cabling having been removed on STS-97, making PMA-2 ready for undocking (with the crew playing the song 'Please Release Me' down to the ground).
Destiny contam cover removal, PMA-2 storage on Z1, Destiny unberth and docking, and connecting umbilicals between Destiny and Z1. EVA-2 will move PMA-2 to Destiny's ACBM. Thermal covers on Destiny trunnions. Slidewire installation; vent installation on ECLSS pressure control assembly (PCA). Then the PDGF (Power and Data Grapple Fixture) will be moved from Atlantis to Destiny. The nadir window shutter will be installed on EVA-3, as will the spare SASA, and PMA-2 to Destiny umbilicals will be connected.
The `incapacitated crew member test' on EVA-3 evaluated two methods of transferring one astronaut pretending to be unconscious. The first method, daisy-chain, with two tethers chained together, worked better than the second `strap' method because there was more distance between the incapacitated astronaut and their rescuer, and so less chance of bumping them and sending them spinning. The astronauts worked within the payload bay for this test.
After undocking, the crew's return to Earth was delayed several times due to bad weather at KSC, and finally Atlantis was brought back to Edwards on Feb 20.

Gambit 30
1966-062A
KH-7 30 was launched on 1966 Jul 12 by Atlas Agena D from Vandenberg's Space Launch Complex 4-East on a 7 day flight. SLC4E was the new name for PALC2-4. Flight 30 flew in a 148 x 272 km orbit; by Jul 17 this had decayed to 135 x 234 km but the apogee was raised to 294 km by Jul 19.
