STS-116 (Discovery)

 2006-055A


STS-116 will dock with the ISS on mission 12A.1. Launch mass is 120413 kg, landing is 102217 kg.

Sunita Williams will transfer to the Ex14 crew, joining Lopez-Alegria and Tyurin. Tomas Reiter joins the STS-116 crew.

Discovery's RMS is used to unberth the P5 spacer and hand it to the SSRMS. On EVA-1 (Quest), Curbeam and Fuglesang help install P5 to P4. Then, the port half of the P6 array, side 4B, is powered down and retracted and a TCS is filled with NH3. P3/P4 SARJ solar tracking is now activated. P1-3A DDCU-E thermal covers are removed.

P6 carries 2B and 4B power channels; P4 has 2A and 4A. S4 has 1A/3A, S6 has 1B/3B.

Now, US Segment is configured to get power from P4-2A and P6-4B via MBSU 2 and 3 and EATCS Loop B.

Then, P6 4B is deactivated and US segment is configured for power via P4-4A and MBSU 1 and 4, via EATCS Loop A. S1-4B and S0-4B DDCU-E thermal covers removed.

On EVA-2, Curbeam and Fuglesang reroute power channel 2/3 through the MBSUs. The MBSUs need the ammonia TCS to be working. During this work, channel 1/4 is carrying the load for the entire ISS.

On EVA-3, Williams and Curbeam route power channel 1/4 through their MBSUs while the station runs off channel 2/3.

At last, the P4 arrays will be activated. MT will be moved to the S1 end of the truss. to await S3/S4.

Finally, the SMDPs and adapter are transferred to PMA-3 aft GF.

After undocking, the STP-H2 payloads will be deployed.

According to Spacehab, LSM is 5399 kg full 2858 kg empty. ICC is 839 empty, with 1657 kg of payload. TA is 112 kg. STS 116 cargo transfer MD to ISS 592 kg plus 140 kg consumables, SHAB to ISS 1620 kg; ISS to MD 610 kg, ISS to SHAB 1617 kg.
