Message: 12 From: NASA News Services Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 21:02:16 -0500 (CDT) Subject: Crew Inspects Shuttle, Prepares for Docking Crew Inspects Shuttle, Prepares for Docking Thu, 16 Jul 2009 20:13:58 -0500 Astronauts aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour spent their first full day in space conducting a routine inspection of their thermal protection system ahead of docking Friday. While inspections take place to ensure Endeavour’s wing leading edge panels and nosecap are in good shape, imagery experts will continue to assess the overall health of the shuttle’s thermal protection system. The early review indicates only a few minor dings in some tiles is present in video due to some unexpected losses of small foam pieces from the external tank. Endeavour’s crew also checked out spacesuits that will be used during the five spacewalks planned during the docked phase of the mission. In preparation for docking, the crew tested rendezvous equipment, installed an orbiter docking system “centerline” camera and extended the docking ring atop the docking system before heading for its eight hour sleep period beginning about 9 p.m. EDT.
