Primarily, STS-114 is a re-supply, re-servicing, repair mission of the International Space Station
I'm a robotics operater on both the shuttle arm, helping out with the inspection process with the inspection boom and sensors and all those things
On the first EVA, first spacewalks, they will be dedicated to demonstration of the repair techniques
We're going to take new materials up there, we're going to fix some broken things and we're going to test some of the things we
need to learn to inspect and repair our own Space Shuttle.
The Space Station's teaching us what is required of us as humans to live and function in space. It's teaching us what is the
consequence of living in space on us as human beings.
We have a Multi-Purpose Logistics Module in the payload bay that's going to be carrying thousands of pounds of equipment
and food and other items for the Space Station and we'll install that on flight day 4
We basically position the orbiter beneath the space station about 600 feet below and Eileen and Vegas will put the orbiter into a
pitch maneuver which basically pirouettes or rotates 360 degrees.
