230p 11/22 Update: Initial SARJ cleaning goes smoothly

=================================

CBS NEWS STS-126 STATUS REPORT: 51
Posted: 2:30 PM, 11/22/08

By William Harwood
CBS News Space Analyst

Changes and additions:

   SR-49 (11/22/08): Urine processor restarted; crew gears up for third spacewalk
   SR-50 (11/22/08): Spacewalk begins; urine processor troubleshooting continues
   SR-51 (11/22/08): Cleaning goes smoothly in initial stages of EVA

=================================

2:30 PM, 11/22/08, Update: Clean goes smoothly in initial stages of spacewalk

An hour and a half into a planned seven-hour spacewalk, astronauts Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and Stephen Bowen are running about a half hour ahead of schedule cleaning and lubricating the space station's right-side solar array rotary joint.

Stefanyshyn-Piper has installed the first of six bearing assemblies slated for replacement today while Bowen is working on a different section of the joint's 10-foot-wide drive gear. Because of lost grease guns, the astronauts are sharing tools and Bowen is using grease-impregnated wipes to put a coating of lubricant on the gear to collect metallic debris as he scrapes it off damaged bearing race.

"Steve, it looks like you're still scraping over there?" astronaut Robert "Shane Kimbrough called from inside the shuttle Endeavour.

"Yes, I am," Bowen replied. "I like this technique a little bit better because you can see more clearly where the (debris) pancakes are that you're chipping off. ... I feel like this really is the better method."

CBS NEWS STS-126 STATUS REPORT: 50
Posted: 1:05 PM, 11/22/08

By William Harwood
CBS News Space Analyst

   SR-46 (11/21/08): Urine processing underway; crew news conference on tap

   SR-48 (11/21/08): Engineers troubleshoot apparent problem with motor in urine processor

=================================

1:05 PM, 11/22/08, Update: Spacewalk begins

Floating in the space station's Quest airlock module, astronauts Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and Stephen Bowen switched their spacesuits to internal battery power at 1:01 p.m., 44 minutes ahead of schedule, to officially kick off a planned seven-hour spacewalk.
|
The goal of today's excursion, the third of four planned for the shuttle Endeavour's mission, is to finish cleaning and lubricating the station's stalled right-side solar array rotary joint. The astronauts also plan to replace six of the joint's 12 trundle bearing assemblies, or TBAs, which grip the main drive gear on three surfaces with pressure-loaded rollers. One TBA was replaced during a shuttle flight last June, four others were replaced during spacewalks Tuesday and Thursday and a sixth was removed and re-installed after cleaning.

This is the 117th spacewalk devoted to station assembly and maintenance since construction began 10 years ago this week and the 18th so far this year. It is the second spacewalk for Bowen and the fifth overall for Stefanyshyn-Piper, who participated in two EVAs during a 2006 station assembly mission. Going into today's spacewalk, station EVA assembly time stood at 732 hours and 25 minutes. The total for Endeavour's crew through two spacewalks was 13 hours and 37 minutes.

Back at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, meanwhile, engineers are continuing efforts to figure out what's causing problems with a vacuum distillation unit in the space station's newly installed water recycling system.

The distillation unit, a critical component in a system designed to convert urine into potable water, was restarted earlier today to collect additional data and insight into what might have caused a centrifuge motor slowdown and high current draw Friday. A similar "signature" was seen again today and again, the urine processor shut itself down. Troubleshooting continues.

Did Someone at Your Phone Company Spy on Obama?

Dear Reader, It was revealed late this week that employess of Verizon Wireless hacked the personal account of President-elect Obama.  This is just another example of how the big phone companies. That's why we put our confidence in CREDO Mobile, the only mobile phone provider that donates a percentage of member fees to causes that you care about. AlterNet worked with CREDO to help register  more than 150,000 voters in one of the most exciting elections in memory. Wouldn't it be great to  support a company that's dedicated to progressive causes? Well, here is your chance. And when you switch to Credo , they'll even cover the termination fee from your old carrier and provide you with a free phone. Give CREDO a try today. Don Hazen Executive Editor, AlterNet.org

Dear Reader, We woke up yesterday to the news that employees of Verizon Wireless hacked the personal account of President-elect Obama. 1 CREDO Mobile is the only mobile phone provider that is as devoted as you are to progressive causes. Remember when Verizon blocked NARAL Pro-Choice America from sending text messages to its customers, going so far as to call choice an "unsavory" subject? And did you know that AT&T's PAC donated the maximum to Bush/Cheney not once but twice? While AT&T and Verizon Wireless showed what side they were on, we were out there empowering voters like you - helping defeat anti-choice ballot initiatives in three states and registering 1.5 million new voters. For eight long years, we've been fighting against an administration that was openly hostile to the environment, equal rights and the values we hold dear. Finally, there's a progressive headed for the White House. But that doesn't mean our work is over. The other side is already gearing up to stop the Obama Administration from ushering in the change our country so loudly demanded. They will try to block universal healthcare, prolong the war in Iraq, and stop efforts to deal with climate change. The question is, will your mobile phone company help them? We're going to keep supporting your values in the upcoming battles over increasing access to healthcare, protecting the environment, and winning back our civil liberties - particularly in light of the tremendously upsetting passage of Prop 8 in California. That means mobilizing our network of activists and using our members' monthly fees to fund organizations like the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, the ACLU and Greenpeace ($60 million so far and counting). Click here to join today. Isn't it time to stop sending payments every month to a company that uses your money to undermine your ideals? Sign up with CREDO Mobile and we'll free you from your current contract by covering the cost of your carrier's early termination fee. You'll get a mobile phone company that works for your values, plus*: Free Sanyo Katana® LX camera phone A Tread™ phone case made from recycled tires Number portability: bring your current number with you. The clarity of Sprint's nationwide all-digital network, reaching over 250 million people† Great prices and amazingly accessible customer service. Our new president urgently needs our help to make even more history. Switching from a phone company that works against your values to one that supports change may not be the only thing you can do to help - it's just one of the easiest and most effective. Get started now - visit www.credomobile.com to learn more or call our friendly customer service team at 866.513.8670. Be sure to mention special offer code 500203. Sincerely, Michael Kieschnick Co-founder and President CREDO Mobile For a free phone, headset and contract buyout, call 866.513.8670 and mention special offer code: 500203   1Verizon workers look at Obama's cell phone records, Associated Press, November 21, 2008. * All with a two-year CREDO Mobile service agreement. Offer subject to credit qualification. Early termination fee: CREDO Mobile will credit your account (up to $200) 30 days after receiving a copy of your prior carrier's termination fee charges; details to follow by mail. Offer only available to new CREDO Mobile customers. †Sprint is the network provider only; your service is handled exclusively by CREDO Mobile. Sprint is a trademark of Sprint Nextel. Here's how you can support progressive change. Join CREDO Mobile and we'll free you from your current contract by reimbursing the cost of your carrier's early termination fee.
