STS-129 (Atlantis)

 2009-062A


ULF 3 flight.

Stott will become an STS crewmember at STS hatch open.

Possible jettison of MMOD shields on Quest at HPGT O2 tank location. HPGS transfer fro S3/ELC2 to AL during EVA3.

Work to prep Node 1 for installation of Node 3 on port CBM.

EVAs: On STS entry: EV1 3011, EV2 3006.

EMUs 3018 and M3010 (with the 'Mega PLSS') were brought up to ISS (and used by Foreman and Satcher for EVAs). EMUs 3006 (used by Bresnik) and M3011 were brought down at the end of the mission, leaving 3018, M3010, 3009 and a spare HUT torso (2026) on ISS.

EVA1 (SASA on Z1, end effector lubing) Foreman, Satcher EVA2 Foreman, bresnik: FPMU and VSSA from S1 CP2 to P1 CP6 Deploy S3LO PAS EVA3 Satcher, Bresnik: O2 tank from ELC2 to AL S3UI PAS deploy (for AMS) MISSE 7 onto ELC2

STS-129 is ISS ULF3. It will carry two ELC logistics carriers carrying spares; the ELCs will be attached to the truss. ELC1 goes to UCCAS 2 install point on P3 Lower. ELC2 goes to PAS 1install point on S3 upper outboard. MISSE 7 will be installed on ELC2; SASA will be stowed on Z1, and the HGPT will be removed from ELC2 and installed on Quest.

ELC1 will be on P3 lower UCCAS, inboard side.

Cargo 16057 kg up, left 12774 on orbit, brought extra 130 down: net 3413 down MECO mass estimate 116000 kg so 99943 up Landing mass 93062 kg - 3413 = 86949 down Consumables 658 kg. MD 1003 kg up, 957 kg down, including 2 EMU up and down, and COL-AIS, WETA up (unaccounted: 689 up 697 down) Per STS summary: Transfer 14419 kg to ISS total - with 12532 ELCs and 1003 kg MD, that leaves 884 kg external. 242 kg is accounted for by known externals, 593 kg unaccounted. Per MR: Transfer 13462 kg total, of which 1003 MD and 12459 external - that seems too low, not allowing for the MISSE etc. Return 499 kg PLB, 957 kg MD.
