NASA TV COVERAGE SET FOR SPACEWALK, SHUTTLE FUELING TEST
WASHINGTON - NASA Television will provide simultaneous live coverage of a
spacewalk by the International Space Station crew and a shuttle fueling test at
NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla., on Tuesday, Dec.
18.
Expedition 16 Station Commander Peggy Whitson and Flight Engineer Dan Tani are
set to venture outside the station at about 6 a.m. EST to perform a detailed
inspection of a giant rotary joint where contamination was found last month.
The joint is used to rotate the starboard solar arrays of the complex to face
the sun. The astronauts also will devote part of the spacewalk to an inspection
of a device that tilts the starboard arrays toward the sun. The device, known
as a Beta Gimbal Assembly, experienced unrelated electrical problems last
weekend.
NASA TV's public channel will begin coverage of spacewalk activities at 4:30 a.
m. A briefing will follow the spacewalk, originating from NASA's Johnson Space
Center, Houston, no earlier than 1:30 p.m.
Reporters will be able to ask questions from participating NASA sites. The
briefing participants are:
-- Mike Suffredini, International Space Station Program manager
-- Ginger Kerrick, International Space Station spacewalk flight director
-- Tomas Gonzalez-Torres, International Space Station spacewalk officer
At 7 a.m. EST, Tuesday, NASA TV's media channel will begin coverage of a
fueling test of space shuttle Atlantis at Kennedy's Launch Pad 39A.
The fueling test will assist engineering efforts to resolve a problem with an
engine cutoff sensor system that prevented Atlantis' launch attempts earlier
this month. Reporters will be notified of any plans to hold a news briefing
following the test's conclusion.
