STS-109 (Columbia)

 2002-010A


Servicing Mission 3B was delayed to late 2000 following the addition of 3A and later slipped to 2002. ACS will replace FOC. ACS has three cameras. The WFC, with two 4096 x 2048 CCDs, has a 3.5' FOV and covers the 3700A -1 micron range. HRC, the High Resolution Channel, has a 0.45' FOV and a 1024 x 1024 CCD, covering the 2000 A to 1 micron range. SBC, the Solar Blind Channel, has a 0.5' FOV, a 1024 x 1024 PCA array and covers the 1100 - 1800A range.

EVA 1: install SA and diode box, -V2. (RAC) Install wire harness to diode box. Install thermal covers on WFPC and bays. EVA-2, install SA and diode box, +V2. (RAC) Replace RWA (MULE). EVA 3: Power controller unit replacement (SAC). Telescope completely powered down. Thermal covers installed to protect critical equipment. EVA 4: swap FOC for ACS (SAC); ESM (MULE). Demate FOC and stow on sill; install CASH wire harness for cooling system; install ACS. EVA 5: Install NICMOS cryocooler (SAC); then install NCS radiator (MULE).

Launch mass 116987 kg, landing mass 100562 kg. MECO mass 115817 kg. MECO orbit 56 x 571 x 28.5 deg.
