The first EVA, first spacewalks, will be mainly dedicated to demonstration of the repair techniques. Steve and
I will move to the cargo bay, the very back portion of the cargo bay, and there is a special box dedicated to
this demonstration. And it's the size of like, four feet by three feet.
And we will open this big box, and inside the box there is a kind of a simulated damage of the tiles and, uh,
possibly RCC, the leading edge panel, and we will be performing the repair using a special repair equipment.
And, what we like to do is shoot the goo into the grooved area of the tile and see how it cures and how we can
operate the equipment under the zero g and other vacuum environment.
And once we come back to ground then engineers will put them onto the arcjet test facility to make sure they will withstand entry profile.
