For once, STS number will correspond to actual fight number.
We're less than 24 hours to launch of what is said the most complex fligth of the ISS assembly. One first : The CDR of the shuttle will be a female (Pam Melroy) and she'll be greated by the first female CDR of the ISS (Peggy Whitson) here is the countdown timeline : http://www.spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts1...0countdown.html Have a good flight. -------------------- |

In regards to the spacewalk to fix the snagged panel, news reports are stating the astronaut:
"runs the risk of being shocked as he tries to fix the damaged panel." Shorting something out and getting a few sparks I can see, but the idea of there being enough voltage there to be a shock hazard - particularly through the suit - is surprising to me. What buss voltages are they running there? |
