STS-135 Report #06 Monday, July 11, 2011 - 2 a m CDT
Mission Control Center, Houston, Texas

HOUSTON � Space shuttle Atlantis� crew will be getting down to the main objective of their mission today, as they temporarily install the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module on the International Space and begin unloading its contents

The crew started their fourth day in space at 2:02 a m , after being awakened by the Chumbawamba song �Tubthumping � It was played for Mission Specialist Sandy Magnus

Magnus, along with Pilot Doug Hurley, will be at the controls of the space station�s robotic arm beginning at 4:09 a m to remove the Raffaello module from the shuttle�s cargo bay They�ll install it on the station�s Harmony node 30 minutes later

Once that is complete, Magnus will work with Commander Chris Ferguson to prepare the module�s hatch for opening at 12:39 p m , after which the crew will begin unloading the 9,402 pounds of supplies it carried into space

In addition, Ferguson and Mission Specialist Rex Walheim will begin moving another 2,281 pounds of cargo brought up on Atlantis� middeck over to the space station And later in the day, the entire shuttle crew will come together with station Flight Engineers Ron Garan, Satoshi Furukawa and Mike Fossum to review the procedures for the mission�s spacewalk Fossum and Garan will perform that spacewalk on Tuesday

Meanwhile, here on the ground, flight controllers were able to verify that the track of a piece of orbital debris they began watching on Saturday will not be a threat to the shuttle and station No adjustments to the shuttle and station�s orbit will be necessary to avoid the debris, which is part of satellite COSMOS 375 and one of more than 500,000 pieces of debris tracked in Earth�s orbit

The next status report will be issued at the end of the crew�s day or earlier if warranted The crew is scheduled to go to sleep just before 6 p m

STS-135 Report #07 4:30 p m CDT Monday, July 11, 2011 Mission Control Center, Houston, Texas

HOUSTON � Atlantis astronauts moved the Raffaello cargo carrier from the shuttle�s cargo bay to the Earth-facing port of the International Space Station�s Harmony node early Monday

Pilot Doug Hurley and Mission Specialist Sandra Magnus moved the multi-purpose logistics module using the station�s Canadarm2 The installation of Raffaello was completed a little after 5:45 a m CDT

After leak checks, hatches between Raffaello and the station were opened before noon Unloading of the more than 9,400 pounds of supplies and equipment aboard Raffaello was scheduled to begin early Tuesday

The module is to be unloaded, then filled with 5,666 pounds of equipment and discards no longer needed on the station It is scheduled to be taken from the Harmony node port and reinstalled in Atlantis� cargo bay on Monday, July 18, several hours before crews of the two spacecraft say goodbye and close hatches Atlantis is now scheduled to undock from the station that evening at 11:56 p m

Mission managers said Monday afternoon Atlantis� stay at the station would be extended for one day The first Kennedy Space Center landing opportunity for Atlantis would be at 4:56 a m July 21 Landing had been scheduled for July 20, but conservation of power-generating consumables made the extension possible

Managers also determined that after Saturday�s inspection, further detailed inspections of Atlantis� heat shield are not required A customary, final inspection will be completed after Atlantis undocks from the station

Other activities on the crews� schedules today included continuing transfer of items between the shuttle�s middeck and the station Atlantis brought almost 2,300 pounds of experiments, equipment and supplies for the station in the shuttle�s middeck lockers

Shortly before the end of their workday, the four shuttle crew members and station Flight Engineers Ron Garan, Mike Fossum and Satoshi Furuakawa met for about an hour to review procedures for Tuesday�s spacewalk Beginning about 7:45 a m , Garan and Fossum, who did three spacewalks together during STS-124 in June 2008, will leave the Quest airlock for the 6 5-hour outing

Major spacewalk activities include retrieving a failed 1,400-pound pump module and installing it in the shuttle cargo bay for return to Earth, installing a robotic satellite refueling experiment and setting up a materials experiment

The next status report will be issued after crew wakeup or earlier if warranted The crew is scheduled to awaken just before 2 a m Tuesday
