STS-128 (Discovery)

 2009-045A


EMU 3015 (Olivas), 3009 (Fugelsang).

3009 is a new MEGA PLSS which can be left on orbit for 6 years. On ISS, 3005 would be used by Stott, with 3011 and 3006 in reserve. 3005 will be returned to Earth and replaced with 3009.

STS-128's ODS will carry the TriDAR DTO-701A lidar triangulation system, 23 kg 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.4m box.

Cargo up 17442 kg; down 13868 kg. MPLM to ISS 6450 kg, from ISS 1330 kg. MD to ISS 581 kg, from 256 kg. PLB to ISS 1145 kg (ATA plus unknown 373 kg), from ISS 1241 kg (ATA, EUTEF MISSE plus unknown 354 kg). Consumables 343 kg.
