Image credit: NASA TO VIEW IMAGE GO TO:http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.htm Expedition 15 Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and flight engineers Oleg Kotov and Clay Anderson are back to work with the departure of space shuttle Endeavour and the STS-118 crew. The departing shuttle crew left behind a newly installed S5 truss structure and an external stowage platform. Upcoming missions to visit the current station residents include the STS-120 and Expedition 16 crews. Space Shuttle Discovery will deliver a new station resident, Flight Engineer Dan Tani, and return Anderson home. The Discovery crew will also install the Harmony module, the second U.S. node. Expedition 16 will launch in October aboard a Soyuz rocket carrying Commander Peggy Whitson, Flight Engineer Yuri Malenchenko and spaceflight participant Sheikh Muzaphar Shukor. When Expedition 15 leaves the station, Shukor will return home with the departing crew. + Read more about Expedition 15 <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition15/index.ht…> + View crew daily timelines <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/timelines/index.html>

Endeavour is Home; Discovery's Next to Fly

It will undergo post-flight inspections and processing for its next mission. Image credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller + View larger image <http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/170419main_118endeavourOPF.jpg> *Discovery Remains on Target for October* Space Shuttle Program Manager Wayne Hale said on Friday that even with the work planned on the next shuttle's external tank, the STS-120 launch remains targeted for Oct. 23. Foam loss from the liquid oxygen feedline brackets on the STS-118 external tank during launch caused thermal tile damage to Endeavour. While a change to the brackets was already in progress on tanks now in production, the problem on the tank being used for STS-120 will be remedied by using different foam on the brackets. Workers will travel to the Kennedy Space Center from the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans to replace the existing foam and underlying thermal protective agent on the brackets with lightweight foam. The process is expected to take approximately nine days. Because the work schedule leading to Discovery's liftoff on mission STS-120 contains about five extra days, mission managers believe it provides enough time to make the changes and still launch on time. *Endeavour and Crew Home* Capping off mission STS-118, Space Shuttle Endeavour glided to a perfect landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on August 21. During almost 13 days in space, the crew members added a new segment to the superstructure of the International Space Station and delivered 5,800 pounds of equipment and supplies to the orbiting laboratory. Endeavour lifted off from Launch Pad 39A on Aug. 8, 2007, following a smooth countdown. The STS-118 mission was the 22nd flight to the International Space Station and Endeavour's first flight since 2002. *Photos of Endeavour's Tile Damage* + View Hi-Res Image of Tile Damage <http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/187279main_07pd2305.jpg> + View Hi-Res Image of Tile Taken in Space <http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/187280main_07pd2303.jpg>

Crew Excited About Endeavour's Success

Image credit: NASA/George Shelton. + View Larger Version <http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/170419main_07pd2345.jpg> A few hours after landing back at Kennedy Space Center, the crew of STS-118 spoke enthusiastically about their 13 days in orbit and work on the International Space Station. "It was a great experience and the space station is really, I think, a stepping stone to going back to the moon and on to Mars some day," commander Scott Kelly said. Teacher-turned-astronaut Barbara Morgan said she is still getting used to gravity again, but that spaceflight was a great experience that she hopes more teachers get to share in. "The flight was absolutely wonderful," she said. "I felt like I was upside-down the whole first day." Canadian astronaut Dave Williams said the thrill never gets dull. "It's truly the ride of a lifetime," Williams said of the launch Aug. 8. "Look over your shoulder and you can see Hurricane Dean." The flight delivered a new segment to the International Space Station, along with 5,800 pounds of supplies and equipment. As far as the ding in a couple of heat shield tiles, Kelly said it did not bother him much. "I was a little bit underwhelmed by the size of the gouge," he said. "To see it, it looked rather small." The crew is set to depart Florida on Wednesday afternoon and return to Johnson Space Center in Houston. *Photos of Tile Damage* + View Hi-Res Image of Tile Damage <http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/187279main_07pd2305.jpg> + View Hi-Res Image of Tile Taken in Space <http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/187280main_07pd2303.jpg>

STS-118 Ends Stay at Space Station

SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR N1ORC - AMSAT A/C #31468 *STS-118 Ends Stay at Space Station* International Space StationImage above: A camera aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour captured this view of the International Space Station shortly after undocking. Image credit: NASA TVTO VIEW IMAGE GO TO:http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html Expedition 15 Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and Flight Engineers Oleg Kotov and Clay Anderson concluded joint operations with the STS-118 crew Saturday afternoon. STS-118’s stay at the station began Aug. 10 and featured four spacewalks to continue the on-orbit construction of the station. The STS-118 crew exited the station before hatches closed at 5:10 p.m. EDT Saturday in preparation for Sunday's undocking, which occurred at 7:56 a.m. In addition to the seven STS-118 astronauts, Space Shuttle Endeavour carried the Starboard 5 (S5) truss segment to the station and STS-118 spacewalkers installed it Aug. 11. The S5 truss segment is part of the station’s Integrated Truss Structure that will eventually be the length of a football field and contain four sets of solar arrays. The station received a new control moment gyroscope (CMG) on Aug. 13 during the second spacewalk. The station has four CMGs that are used to control its attitude in orbit. The new CMG replaced a faulty gyroscope that will return to Earth on a future shuttle mission. On Aug. 14, the International Space Station’s first component to go into space, the Zarya control module, passed the 50,000th orbit mark at 11:17 a.m. EDT. 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. The third spacewalk occurred Aug. 15. It featured preparations for the relocation of the Port 6 truss from atop the station to the end of the Port 5 truss when STS-120 visits later this year. A fourth spacewalk took place Saturday in which an antenna was installed and two materials science experiments were retrieved for return to Earth. In other activities, the two crews transferred cargo between Endeavour and the station. + Read more about Expedition 15 <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition15/index.ht…> + View crew daily timelines <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/timelines/index.html>
