Morgan, holding a Challenger crew patch, and Alvin Drew talk with students at the Challenger Center for Space Science Education in Alexandria, Va. Image: NASA TO VIEW IMAGE GO TO:http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html STS-118 crew members will hold class in space and transfer cargo between the International Space Station and Space Shuttle Endeavour today. Preparations for a possible spacewalk to repair a small ding in Endeavour’s thermal protection system tiles will also occupy a considerable part of today for the crew. Mission managers have not decided that a repair spacewalk will be needed. But to prepare for that possibility, the crew members will begin to get ready to do the repair, should managers determine that is necessary. The managers did decide to move the flight’s fourth spacewalk from Friday to Saturday. If the repair isn’t done, that spacewalk will see installation of two antennas and removal of one, installation of a stowage stand for the shuttle’s orbiter boom sensor system and other tasks. Mission Specialists Barbara Morgan and Alvin Drew participated in an education event this morning with students at the Challenger Center for Space Science Education in Alexandria, Va. Morgan, an educator who became an astronaut, was first selected by NASA in 1985 as the backup to Teacher in Space Christa McAuliffe. Following the Space Shuttle Challenger accident in 1986, Morgan continued to work with NASA on educational activities and returned to teaching elementary school in Idaho. She was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 1998. Family members of the Challenger crew have been invited. Morgan is being honored with the President George H.W. Bush Leadership Award, the center’s top award. Crew members will also talk at 10:16 a.m. with reporters representing Associated Press Television, Reuters and Idaho Public Television. Both events will air live on NASA TV. The STS-118 and Expedition 15 crew will continue the cargo transfers that began shortly after Endeavour docked Aug. 10. Endeavour delivered supplies and equipment to the station, most of which were located in the pressurized Spacehab module in the payload. Spacehab will carry items, including science experiments, back to Earth. This afternoon, the crews will enjoy some well-deserved time off. *Mission Management Team Update* Mission Control told Space Shuttle Endeavour’s crew Wednesday that STS-118’s fourth spacewalk will be moved to Saturday. The decision gives the STS-118 and Expedition 15 crew members an extra day to prepare for the spacewalk, which was added to the mission after the STS-118 crew arrived at the station. Mission managers in Houston continue to consider whether a spacewalk will be needed to repair a small gouge on Endeavour’s heat shield tiles. Before going to bed Wednesday, the crew was informed that managers have decided the next spacewalk will be moved from Friday to Saturday, but that they haven’t decided whether Saturday’s spacewalk will be devoted to tile repair or get-ahead tasks. + View video of tile damage <http://www.nasa.gov/mov/186009main_STS118_Site1_Rev2.mov>

Mastracchio ended his portion of the spacewalk about 3 p.m. and Anderson wrapped up at 4:05 p.m. Anderson finished with the retrieval of a transponder on the Port 6 truss after Mastracchio returned to the Quest airlock. The damage was discovered during a routine scan of the gloves with Mastracchio’s helmet cam. Both gloves had damage, however, it was a small penetration in the outer layer of the left thumb that caused flight controllers to make the decision to end Wednesday’s spacewalk early. Retrieval of the two MISSE experiments will be deferred to a future spacewalk. The experiments were deployed in August 2006 and will be returned to Earth for analysis. Mastracchio and Anderson continued preparations for the relocation of the Port 6 (P6) truss and its solar arrays by moving two Crew Equipment Translation Aid carts along the Integrated Truss Structure rail system. This will allow the station’s arm to perform the P6 relocation work during STS-120. The P6 will be moved from atop the station to the end of the Port 5 truss. Early in the spacewalk, the duo relocated an antenna from the Port 6 (P6) to the Port 1 (P1) truss. In addition to the antenna relocation, the spacewalkers installed a new transponder and signal processor in an S-band communications system upgrade. Wednesday’s spacewalk was Mastracchio’s third of the mission. Anderson, who arrived at the station in June, conducted his first spacewalk on July 23 with Expedition 15 Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin. Mission Specialist Tracy Caldwell coordinated the spacewalk, and Pilot Charles Hobaugh was at the controls of the station’s robotic arm. *Orbiter Thermal Protection System Inspection and Repair Techniques* STS-114 Press Kit excerpt, July 2005 + Identifying and repairing tile damage in flight (444 Kb pdf) <http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/186088main_sts114_excerpt_inflight_repair.pdf> + Orbiter's Thermal Protection System <http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/technology/sts-newsref/sts_sys.html#sts…> + Thermal Protection System Fact sheet <http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/nasafact/tps.htm> + 'How Things Work' Thermal Protection System video <http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/videos/metafiles/ksc_022805_htw_tps.ram>

Image credit: NASA TV TO VIEW IMAGE GO TO:http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html Zarya, the International Space Station’s first component to go into space, passed the 50,000th orbit mark at 11:17 a.m. EDT today. Zarya, which is Russian for “Sunrise”, was funded by the United States and built by Russia. It launched atop a Proton rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Nov. 20, 1998. Just before Zarya made its mark in the history books, STS-118 and Expedition 15 crew members used Canadian-built robotic arms to attach a third stowage platform on to the international outpost’s exterior. They used Space Shuttle Endeavour’s robotic arm to lift external stowage platform-3 out of the orbiter payload bay and hand it off to the station arm for installation on the Port 3 truss segment. The new platform is the second component attached to the station since Endeavour and the STS-118 crew arrived Aug. 10. STS-118 spacewalkers installed the Starboard 5 (S5) truss segment on to the end of the Starboard 4 (S4) truss segment on Saturday. The S5 will serve as a spacer segment between the S4 and Starboard 6 (S6) segments. The S6 and its solar arrays will be attached during a future shuttle mission. During the second STS-118 spacewalk, astronauts replaced a failed control moment gyroscope in the Z1 truss. The station has four gyroscopes that control its orientation in orbit. Two more spacewalks are slated for the remainder of STS-118’s stay. The next is slated to take place Wednesday and will focus on preparing the Port 6 truss for relocation from atop the Destiny laboratory module to the end of the Port 5 truss when STS-120 visits later this year. In other activities, the two crews have been transferring cargo between Endeavour and the station. STS-118’s stay at the station is slated to wrap up when Endeavour undocks Aug. 20.
