>> US EVA COL UPGRADES
IS GOING TO BEGIN WITH
EV-1 EGRESSING
THE QUEST AIRLOCK FIRST.
THE CREW IS GOING TO BE
BRINGING OUT WITH THEM
THE COLKa,
WHICH STANDS FOR
THE COLUMBUS KA BAND ANTENNA.
THIS HARDWARE IS
GOING TO BE INSTALLED
ON THE COLUMBUS MODULE
DURING THIS EVA.
EV-1 IS GOING TO TRANSLATE OUT
TO THE COLUMBUS MODULE
VIA THE TRANSLATION PATH
YOU CAN SEE HERE.
AND WE'LL NEED TO
SET UP A FEW THINGS
AT THE WORKSITE BEFORE
THAT INSTALLATION.
EV-2 IS GOING TO TRANSLATE
TO AN EXTERNAL PLATFORM
CALLED ESP-2, WHERE HE IS
GOING TO BE INGRESSING
THE SSRMS, THE ROBOTIC ARM.
THE ROBOTIC ARM IS
GOING TO BE TAKING HIM OVER
TO THE COLUMBUS WORKSITE
WITH THE COLKa.
TWO OF THE CREW MEMBERS
ARE GOING TO MEET UP
AT THE WORKSITE.
THEY NEED TO REMOVE BOLTS
THAT ARE ON THE COLUMBUS PANELS.
WHERE THOSE BOLTS ARE REMOVED
IS WHERE THE COLKa
IS GOING TO BE INSTALLED.
SO THEY WORK TOGETHER
SECURING COLKa
TO THE COLUMBUS MODULE.
ONCE IT IS SECURE,
EV-2 IS GOING TO
ROUTE THE CABLING
FOR THAT COLKa
AND PLUG IT INTO
THE COLUMBUS MODULE.
MEANWHILE, EV-1 IS
GOING TO HEAD TO
THE BARTOLOMEO PLATFORM.
SO BARTOLOMEO IS
AN EXTERNAL PLATFORM
IN WHICH PAYLOADS
CAN BE INSTALLED.
THERE ARE CLAMPS THAT
NEED TO BE OPENED UP
IN ORDER TO REMOVE
THE CABLING THAT
NEEDS TO GET ROUTED
IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE
THE BARTOLOMEO PLATFORM.
SO THE CREW WORKS TOGETHER
TO GET THOSE CABLES
ROUTED AND INSTALLED.
EV-1 ALSO NEEDS TO REMOVE
ANOTHER SET OF CABLING
THAT IS GOING TO HOOK UP
AN ANTENNA FOR BARTOLOMEO,
WHICH YOU CAN SEE HERE.
ONCE BARTOLOMEO IS COMPLETE,
THE CREW MEMBERS ARE GOING TO
GO BACK TO THE COLKa
AND REMOVE A COVER.
SO THE COVER WAS INSTALLED
IN ORDER TO PROTECT
THE ANTENNA DURING INSTALLATION.
SINCE IT'S NO LONGER NEEDED,
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE EV-2
JETTISON THAT COVER
WHILE HE'S ON THE SSRMS.
[ MUSIC ]
ONCE THE ACTIVITIES ARE COMPLETE
AT THE COLUMBUS WORKSITE,
BOTH CREW MEMBERS MEET BACK UP
AT THE QUEST ARILOCK.
THEY RECONFIGURE SOME BAGS
TO TAKE OUT WITH THEM
FOR THEIR NEXT TASK,
WHICH IS GOING TO BE OUT
AT THE PORT MOUTH SECTION
OF THE SPACE STATION TRUSS.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE
HEADING OUT TO P6.
YOU CAN SEE
THE TRANSLATION PATH HERE.
AND THE CREW MEMBERS ARE GOING
TO BE REMOVING AN H FIXTURE.
SO THIS H FIXTURE IS NOT
NEEDED ON THE SOLAR ARRAYS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO
REMOVE THAT H FIXTURE.
BOTH OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE
REMOVING ONE OF THEM.
AND THIS PLATE IS GOING TO
BE REMOVED BECAUSE IT'S
GOING TO BE WHERE
A FUTURE UPGRADE OF
THE SOLAR ARRAYS IS
GOING TO BE INSTALLED.
SO THE PLATES ARE REMOVED,
PUT INTO A BAG,
AND THEY WILL BE
BROUGHT BACK INSIDE
AFTER THE EVA.
SO ONCE BOTH CREW MEMBERS
ARE COMPLETE WITH THAT,
THEY BOTH HEAD BACK TO
THE QUEST AIRLOCK
AND WE HAVE COMPLETED
THE PLANNED TASKS FOR THE EVA.
IF THERE IS SOME TIME
AT THE END OF THE EVA,
WE WILL HAVE SOME GET-AHEADS
FOR THE CREW TO PERFORM.
