ISS EO-16-1 Chronology - 2007 Oct 23 - STS-120 Crew: Melroy, Zamka, Parazynski, Wheelock, Wilson, Nespoli, Tani. Spacecraft: Discovery. Payload: ISS-10A Harmony. Launch Site: Cape Canaveral. Launch Vehicle: Shuttle. Duration: 15.10 days. Perigee: 340 km (210 mi). Apogee: 344 km (213 mi). Inclination: 51.60 deg. Period: 91.40 min.
Main mission objectives were delivery of the Harmony module to the station, and external work to move the P6 truss to its final location and put the ISS into its full-power configuration for the first time. Discovery docked with the ISS at the Destiny module at 12:40 GMT on 25 October. The cargo of 17,390 kg was as follows:
- Orbiter Docking System - Bay 1-2 - 1800 kg
- Spacesuit EMU 3004 - 130 kg
- Spacesuit EMU 3003 - 130 kg
- Station Power Distribution Unit SPDU - Bay 3P - 100 kg
- Fixture for return of S-band Antenna - SASA FSE - Bay 3P - 4S - 100 kg
- Power/Data Grapple Fixture for Node-2 - PDGF - Bay 5P - 50 kg
- Main Bus Switching Unit - MBSU - Bay 6S - 238 kg
- MBSU adapter - Bay 6S - 122 kg
- Station Power Distribution Unit - SPDU - Bay 6S - 7P - 100 kg
- Node-2 Harmony module - Bays 8-12 - 14,300 kg
- OBSS 203 - Sill 450 kg
- RMS 301 - Sill 410 kg
- 2007 Oct 26 - EVA STS-120-1 Crew: Parazynski, Wheelock. EVA Type: EVA. EVA Duration: 0.25 days.
The astronauts emerged from the Quest hatch at 10:01 GMT. They moved an antenna from
the Z1 truss and stowed it in the payload bay, prepared the P6 truss for separation from Z1, and assisted in installation of the Harmony module, which was unberthed from the shuttle bay by the ISS Canadarm-2 and docked to the Unity module.
- 2007 Nov 9 - EVA ISS EO-16-1 Crew: Whitson, Malenchenko. EVA Type: EVA. EVA Duration: 0.29 days.
The astronauts conducted exterior work in preparation for the move of the Pressurized Mating Adapter 2 (PMA-2) from the Destiny lab and to the Harmony module. They disconnected and stowed cables, removed a light on one of the station’s transport carts and took the cover off Harmony's Common Berthing Mechanism. They also removed a base-band signal processor for later refurbishment; removed a remote power controller module that was to be replaced; and transferred tools in preparation for upcoming spacewalks.
