VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – Preparations are underway to tow the Delta first-stage booster for NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 mission, or OCO-2, from the Building 836 hangar to the Horizontal Processing Facility at Space Launch Complex 2 on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. OCO-2 is scheduled to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket on July 1, 2014. The observatory will collect precise global measurements of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere and provide scientists with a better idea of the chemical compound's impacts on climate change. Scientists will analyze this data to improve our understanding of the natural processes and human activities that regulate the abundance and distribution of this important atmospheric gas.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The payload canister containing the payload for space shuttle Endeavour's STS-126 mission rolls into the Canister Rotation Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The canister will be raised to vertical and then transported to Launch Pad 39A. At the pad, the payload canister will release its cargo into the Payload Changeout Room. Later, the payload will be installed in Endeavour's payload bay. Endeavour is targeted for launch on Nov. 14. Photo credit: NASA/Troy Cryder KSC-08pd3306

Summary

The original finding aid described this as:

Description: Extravehicular Activity (EVA) 5 on Flight Day 7 to service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) on this second servicing mission (HST SM-02). Payload Commander Mark Lee and Mission Specialist Steve Smith conduct a contingency EVA to place more Multilayer Insulation (MLI) patches on the telescope. Lee (identified by the solid red stripes on his extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) suit) attaches the handmade MLI patches onto the telescope while standing on the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) Manipulator Foot Restraint (MFR) and Smith watches Lee while holding onto the HST trunnion (001-3). Nighttime views of Lee and Smith cleaning up the worksite. Lee translates along the Second Axial Carrier (SAC) handrails (004-12). Lee and Smith holding onto SAC handrails (013-15). Lee moves the Closed Circuit Television (CCT) camera into the external airlock (016-18). Lee's helmet illuminated just above the edge of the external airlock (019-21). Smith works with the MFR stanchion and tools to remove them (022-30). Lee floats beneath the MFR (031-33).
