-Good morning, Houston.
-Good morning, Endeavour. How are you doing today?
-We're doing great. We're ready for EVA-2.
The epic continues.
-That's for sure. We're ready also.
-And we got your downlink video, Jeff.
-Now have live television from Endeavour's lower deck.
This feed showing mission specialist Tom Akers
putting on the bottom half of his space suit.
During this space walk, Akers and Thornton can be told apart
from a distance in the television scenes...
-Endeavour, we've got your live downlink.
-They can be told apart by the markings
on the legs of their space suits.
Thornton will have a broken red stripe
around the legs of her suit,
while Akers will have a diagonally broken red stripe
around the legs of his suit.
This view now shows Thornton in the air lock.
She continues donning the suit
and putting on the communications cap,
sometimes referred to as a Snoopy cap,
which holds the receivers and microphones
used for communications during the space walk.
-Hello, KT.
-Now in view and saluting the camera
is Commander Dick Covey.
-Yes. We've only got one 80-inch on the MFR today, KT,
but that's all we ought to need.
-I have the other one with me. -Oh, good.
I thought I put it somewhere, but there you go.
-That's pretty good, Claude. -Okay. Thank you.
-Houston, we will not respond to the PID com today
unless you want us to.
-No...on PID com sales, Story.
-Got to be gentle with your arm, Claude.
-All right. The MFR tether is attached.
-It's not that tight. -Okay, next is yours, KT.
-All right. -No, not yet.
Under here.
-One of the first tasks for the space walk
will be to install the manipulator foot restraint
to a platform at the end of the arm.
Throughout...
-Hang out a little bit.
-Throughout the day, the foot restraint will be occupied
by mission specialist Kathy Thornton.
She will be working from the end of the mechanical arm.
This television shows Thornton at the array,
the array to be jettisoned.
-Okay.
This throws me a lot higher here, Story, than in the water.
I think it's going to be all right.
-Okay, since the handle is in, going to untether from it.
-Want to get the Velcro strap on the left,
Story, since I'm here.
If I've got to go, it's a...KT.
You doing that? -I'm not touching it.
-Okay. Let me get it stabilized.
You got the handle in it? -Got the handle in it.
I'll hold it. -Okay. Hold it still.
Loosely.
-Okay. I have it.
-Okay.
Okay, Story, I'm going to work on this side
with the Velcro strap and the W-connector.
Now, I'll go to the other side, get the lock wire,
Velcro strap and those connectors.
Okay. That can stay over there then.
-...coming, I think.
-We have to get your lights on, get my visor up.
-Again, Thornton has attached the handle to the array,
which she'll use to hold on to it and to a...
-Really tedious work, Story.
-Will it help if I rotate this PDM a little,
get it out of your way?
-Symmetrical here.
Rotate it a little, KT, clockwise.
Watch. That's good.
-I knew if we broke it in front
and then pushing it through the other side.
That's what was tied to... on the back of it.
-Okay. Want me take you down?
-[ Speaking indistinctly ] -Okay.
-Going down.
Down and forward, if you can, KT.
-Okay. -I'll stabilize it here.
-You can move more forward if you need to.
I think we're clear there.
Okay, stop.
-Okay. -Let it go.
-Yeah, then you're going to go forward only, right?
-Yeah. Okay.
On my mark. -Now wait a second.
Let's do this with your hands and not the arms.
-Okay. I won't do that. -Okay.
Then you give Claude a command when to go.
Okay? -I will do that.
-It's easing out. It's coming real smooth.
You're 4 inches out, 6 inches, 8 inches.
Okay, I'd be happy for you to go with the arm now.
-Okay, good. Straight forward and slowly.
-Go real easy and make sure you're not hung on my BFR.
And you're not.
You're through, right?
Okay, KT. I'm letting go.
-I have it. -You have it.
-Holy moly.
Piece of cake. -Okay.
Keep going forward, Claude.
Steady right. You're all clear.
Okay, you're passing me right now.
It looks like flying in a T-38 and looking down at lights
on the ground at the stars, doesn't it, KT?
-[ Speaking indistinctly ]
-Okay. You're well past me.
I'm going to keep watching until you're well clear,
and I'm going to get the micro switch guard, right, Story?
Okay.
Okay, you still going forward, Claude?
Okay. I'm going to quit watching you now, KT.
You can see towards me, right?
-Yeah, we're in front of you.
-Yeah, but I mean, I don't have to watch you anymore, right?
-Nope, not at all. -Okay.
All right. Let's see.
That PFR position is good to get back in.
I'll ease up here, Story.
I got this bad micro-switch guard.
It goes down in real smooth into the change out position,
but it would be really tough with one hand.
I think impossible to get out if it was fully seated.
Halfway seated, it's a maybe.
Okay.
They might... Kind of their call if they want
to follow up on later leaving it in the change out,
or would you rather leave it in the normal?
Copy, Sue.
-They're talking about it, KT. -Okay.
-I think I see sunrise coming, KT.
I'm going to head down there to...
Did the Houston copy, Store?
-I'll check. -Okay.
I'm going to head on down.
I'll come back and configure it however they want
before we put the new one in, okay?
-Get up here.
-How long are we until KT jettisons?
Hey, Story.
-I'm checking. -Okay.
-Didn't know if you heard me.
-Endeavour, Houston with a final refinement
on the sub sequence for Covey.
-Go ahead. -Covey, since we know
the NORMZ pulses are going to induce a pitch rate
on the array, we want you to use your best judgment
in delaying the start of the NORMZ inputs
until you are comfortable that the pitching array
will definitely clear the top of HST.
-Okay. We understand.
-And we're getting an answer for Story's EVA questions,
and when you're happy with the lighting,
we concur you've got a go for release.
-Okay, I'll start now.
-Okay, I understand we have a go for release,
and we're going to wait for the lighting
to come up just a little bit.
-Copy.
-Okay, Tom. Go, KT. Go for release.
-Okay.
Can you hang on one sec so I can get where I can watch?
Okay.
Okay, KT. You ready?
-Yeah, I'm ready. -Okay.
They say you got a go for release.
Expect 20 pulses on your...
-Okay, no hands!
-There's going to be 20 pulses on the RHA for a...
Okay.
Look how stable you left that.
There it goes.
Pretty neat job, KT.
-I don't know what it's going to do
when it starts flapping in the breeze.
I guess I won't know.
-Nope.
-Endeavour, check free drift.
-It looks like a bird, Tom. Look at it.
-If I can still see it.
Where'd it go?
Back behind us. [ Chuckles ]
-Okay, KT. You ready to go to work?
-I guess so.
-Are you ready to go to work, Store?
-Hardly.
-I've got you another transfer handle, KT,
and I've got my Essex wrench.
Heading up the starboard way.
-Okay, let's get to work.
-Okay, KT. -Ready?
-Yeah. I'm ahold of this end.
You got that.
Just come right up easy, just like you're doing.
Ready? Bring the forward up a little more.
Okay. Coming straight on up.
Looking real good. I'm going to let go.
-Okay, Claude. Take me away.
-You can have it. Okay.
Okay, Story.
Leave my Essex wrench here where I need it next.
-Roger.
-Okay.
Okay, that looks good. Let's stop.
Story, how's that roll alignment?
-I can't see the forward latch,
but it looks like it ought to be counterclockwise.
-Okay, just a little counterclockwise, KT.
-Okay, Claude, I need to turn my head in about 6 inches.
-Okay.
-Okay, Story. It's all seated.
The theta alignment key is obviously in place.
It looks like it's ready to tighten the theta clamp.
Double-check my tool on one, on the power tool,
torque on two, tighten, and low speed.
-Correct. -Okay.
I'm going to have to touch it a little bit, KT.
-Okay. All right.
-You can see that side over there, right of the theta?
All right. Looks good to me.
Here we go.
On.
Power tools out of the deal.
My bayonet is closed.
I'm going to get my mini work station lower.
Okay. Now, KT, you still got me?
-Yeah. -Okay.
Godspeed and up on it, Story, with the air lock.
-Is it going to work, Tom, or not?
-Huh? Yeah, but it's going to go a lot slower.
-Okay. -Just go ahead. Keep working.
-All right. I'm working. -I don't want to rush you.
-You should probably get it done
about the time I'm finished.
-No. I got to take at least 9 minutes.
-[ Laughs ] Need it or not.
-But now it's starting to ratchet a little.
Never mind, KT. It's working fine now.
I'm sorry.
-[ Speaking indistinctly ] Okay.
I'll put this back. -It's, like, the first time,
there wasn't any tension on the bolt
even though it was starting to turn it.
Very slowly and smoothly, I can see it coming up a little,
Store.
-Okay, you...
-Actually, when I crank a little on it, it floats up on its own.
It's floating up, Story.
You see that? -Yeah.
-I just kind of barely start it moving, and it keeps going.
-I want to get there before it does.
-But, yeah, I want you in there.
I'm not going in until -- I want you to go
all the way to the telescope. -Okay.
-Come -- Yeah, I know you can get to the forward latch.
Just come straight down.
-...with the forward latch, though.
No, let's stop here. I don't like this.
Crank it in a little bit, Tom.
-Okay, but it's going to go past you pretty quick.
-Let me get that... get my hand on it.
Okay, I'm pulling on the handle.
-I mean, you can just take it in, KT.
Go slow. Go slow.
-...keep bringing you aft.
-Can you go up a little bit closer?
[ Speaking indistinctly ] Coming up.
Move toward me there a little bit port.
Coming in slow. Really good.
-It's -- Hold it right there, KT.
-Okay. We'll stop here, Tom.
Have you got any uplift?
Can you pick me up just a little?
-It's hard for me because the [ Speaking indistinctly ]
-Okay. How about a little bit to port?
-I can give you port. -Okay.
We got about 4 inches to go.
Can you do that with your arms?
-No. -Okay, then...
-[ Speaking indistinctly ] -There you go.
Coming down.
I can get you down in there, too.
Okay.
Go forward and up, KT, forward and up.
Easy, easy.
Forward and up.
Okay, slow just coming in. How's your aft?
-It's going in.
Bring her down, Sox.
-A little more. ...is in.
-Keep coming down.
I just want to relax my body.
-How does the forward look to you guys?
-We can't see the wrench, but it looked very good going in.
-Okay. I can see it down here.
-Coming down, Sox. -It's in there, KT.
-All right.
-Right there is good. Thanks.
-Stop it. -It feels good.
It's solid.
I got it. -You got it?
-Got it. -Hold it.
All right. Hold on.
Looks like it's going to be perfect back here.
Okay, so this is going to be a loosen, Story.
I've checked my tool. 201, color code two.
Double checked directions.
-Okay.
So...
-We fit the other array or do we just clean up here first?
-I'll tell you what, yeah.
Go ahead and get your handle and go over on the other array.
Story, what do you think about this to save me a trip?
If KT puts the handle on that port one,
I get the forward latch, then I come around to the front
and get the forward on this one, and then I'm at the theta end
rather than going back and forth?
-Okay. -Okay.
-I'm good. I got the handle, Story.
-Okay...forward latch, Store.
Going to figure your back end here.
-Okay.
It's seated all the way down.
You don't have to hold down on it.
All right for me.
That's it.
There you go.
Action, I've got a PDM handle
and this to get there, and I'll get these.
I'll get the PDM lock off for you in my Velcro, my belt.
-Hey, Claude, can you pull me straight back?
-Sure will.
-All right.
Double check directions, control.
Starting on the right zulu, Store.
-All right.
-Okay. That's good for you? Let's do it.
-Okay, I'll stop here.
-The perimeter on the right is ready.
-Want me to help you get that handle out of your way?
-No, but when you get here, I can give it to you,
and you can have time to stow it.
-I'm over here by your left shoulder.
-Okay.
-Stop right here, Sox. -Got to turn.
-Okay, tethered.
-Hold it. -You got it.
All right. Let's see if we can get this
bad boy Velcro back in this hole.
-Hit myself in the head with this one.
-Endeavour, Houston. Some good news for you.
We had a good aliveness test.
-Oh, good.
-All right. Outstanding.
-Go ahead, Greg.
Go ahead, Greg.
-Tom, just want to let you know that Jerry Ross
and the rest of us send our congratulations to you
for now being the record holder
for the most EVA time in the Shuttle program.
-Wow. -Well, Tom, thanks a lot,
but I bet it's going to be a short-lived one.
-Well, you get it overnight anyways, huh?
-Okay, take three.
-Hey, I'm on an SEU. -Okay, one and two, SEUs.
-Verify the O2 valves are open. -Verified.
-Copy, Store.
-This is Mission Control Houston.
We've reacquired our signal
through the tracking and data relay satellite system.
-We copy. -You okay?
-Okay.
-Okay, we're coming up on 4.5, Story.
-If it weren't cloudy in Houston,
y'all probably could see us today.
-Well there -- there they are. -Try again.
-And we're with you on the flight deck.
-We just wanted to say hi to everybody.
-Well, you look no worse for the wear from your EVA, huh?
Y'all make it look it easy.
-It was easy, Greg.
Lots easier than the water.
-I bet.
