NASA TV AIRS SECOND EUROPEAN CARGO CRAFT FLIGHT TO SPACE STATION

HOUSTON -- NASA Television plans live coverage of the launch and automated docking of the second unpiloted European cargo ship that will deliver approximately seven tons of fuel, food and supplies to the International Space Station

NASA TV coverage of the launch from the northern coast of South America will begin at 3:45 p m CST on Tuesday, Feb 15 The European Space Agency and its launch services provider, Arianespace, are scheduled to launch the Johannes Kepler Automated Transfer Vehicle-2, or ATV2, on an Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou, French Guiana, at 4:13 p m (7:13 p m in Kourou) NASA TV coverage will continue through the deployment of the cargo ship's solar arrays about 90 minutes after launch

After an eight-day journey, the spacecraft will rendezvous and dock to the aft port of the station's Zvezda service module

If the ATV2 launches Feb 15 as scheduled, NASA TV will broadcast the final rendezvous and docking beginning at 8:45 a m on Feb 23 Docking is scheduled at approximately 9:20 a m ATV2 will remain attached to Zvezda until early June, when it will undock and deorbit for a destructive re-entry into Earth's atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean

SPACEWALK FROM INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION WILL AIR ON NASA TV

HOUSTON -- Two Russian cosmonauts will step outside the International Space Station on Wednesday, Feb 16 They will install and retrieve experiments on the Russian segment of the complex and deploy a small ham radio satellite NASA Television coverage of the spacewalk will begin at 6:45 a m CST

Expedition 26 Flight Engineers Dmitry Kondratyev and Oleg Skripochka, wearing their Russian Orlan spacesuits, will emerge from the Pirs Docking Compartment airlock for the second time in four weeks at about 7:15 a m

During the nearly six-hour spacewalk, they will install two experiments One will collect information useful in seismic forecasts and earthquake predictions, and the second will look at gamma splashes and optical radiation during terrestrial lightning and thunderstorms The spacewalkers also will retrieve a pair of panels exposed to space as part of an experiment to identify the best materials for building long-duration spacecraft

The cosmonauts also will deploy an experiment called ARISSat-1, or Radioskaf-V, a boxy 57-pound nanosatellite that houses congratulatory messages commemorating the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's launch to become the first human in space The ham radio transmitter will enable communications with amateur radio operators around the world for three to six months It is the first of a series of educational satellites being developed in a partnership with the Radio Amateur Satellite Corp ; the NASA Office of Education International Space Station National Lab Project; the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station working group; and RSC-Energia

The spacewalk will be the second for Kondratyev, who will wear the spacesuit marked with red stripes, and the third for Skripochka, who will wear the suit with blue stripes
