STS-131 (Discovery)
2010-012A
Mission 19A carries an MPLM and an LMC. Astronauts will R&R; the S1 ATA and the S0 rate gyro assembly, and retrieve the ESA JEM Seed Experiment.
EMU 3017 (Mastracchio) and 3008 (Anderson) to fly up and down.
The old ATA was installed on the LMC. The Columbus LWAPA retreival was, however, dropped when time ran short. LWAPA is left over from MISSE-6.
Launch mass 121047 kg, landing 102038 kg. post-ET sep mass 116388 kg.
Cargo total 17131 kg up; 17063 down? PLB Cargo per MR: 6242 up 2451 down; MD 662 up 560 down, 515 consumables. Per STSSUM: MPLM 5470 up 1864 down including ISPs; ATA 772 up 587 down. Cargo down includes old ATA, RGA, and SEED (total 616 kg?)

TRACE
1998-020A
The Transitional Region and Coronal Explorer was the 4th SMEX mission, to study magnetic fields and heating in solar corona. It returns the highest resolution EUV images of the sun. Mass is 250 kg; the bus was a GSFC SMEX. TRACE carries a 0.3m aperture Ritchey-Chretien telescope, with coatings for both optical-UV and EUV (narrow 171A, 195A and 284A bands) imaging. One quadrant of the primary observes in the UV, the remainder in the EUV. The telescope has an 8.5min field of view, and is derived from the NIXT sounding rocket and the EIT telescope on SOHO.
