To begin Flight Day 5, the crew woke at 10:30 p.m. EDT to the song “We All Do What We Can Do” by Dan Keenan, a thermal protection system engineer, and Kenny McLaughlin, a launch pad engineer, for Mission Specialist Mike Fincke. The two shuttle workers created the song to honor those who have helped make the space program a success. In their note to Fincke they said, “Together as dedicated individuals we did what we could do to help.”<\/p>\n
Today Mission Specialists Drew Feustel and Greg Chamitoff perform the first of four spacewalks of this shuttle mission. The spacewalk is expected to begin at 3:16 a.m. and last six to six and a half hours.<\/p>\n
Feustel and Chamitoff will retrieve two experiments and install a new package of experiments on ELC-2, which is already on the station. They will install jumpers between segments on the left-side truss, or backbone of the station, for ammonia refills; vent nitrogen from an ammonia servicer; and install an external wireless communication antenna on the Destiny laboratory that will provide wireless communication to the Express Logistics Carriers mounted on the station’s truss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
