-...point underneath the torque bar.
-Okay, stop there.
Now let's go to the center of the payload bay, starboard.
-Copy that, coming center.
-John, can you look to your left at the clearance?
-Yep.
-And the clearance below it is fine, more than 2 feet.
-You think I could come down? Come down, David?
-Yes, you can come down.
Keep it going to my left. -Okay.
-Okay, stop at my left. -I'll stop.
-I'd like to come down, John.
I'll watch it. -Okay, coming down.
-John, you call it to stop with a foot left.
-Okay.
I can't see the 4 1/2, so I'd stop.
-I'll stop. -Ah, Keith, this is safety
complete, so ready for SSR.
-Okay, John, I'm just... If you look up a little bit,
you can see me right here. -Yep.
-So I think we'll be ready to go.
-I think we're ready to go. Take me aft another 2 feet.
-Aft 2 feet.
-Okay, John, there's a mag torquer
above your head about 3 feet.
You're in good clearance.
-And that is the place where you're going to
install the repair equipment.
-And stop, David. -I'll stop.
-John, I think since I'm attached to it,
you can just install it, actually.
-Okay. -Fire extender to...
-You got it? -Okay, I'm letting go.
-John, John, it goes right underneath the long line
of handrails there, beneath the magnetic torquer bar.
-Forty-five left down.
-Right underneath which handrail,
the horizontal... the vertical one?
-The long vertical handrails chain, chains.
-Oh, okay. It's way up above your head,
so a little bit more to your right, John.
-I see that little thing there, but a little more to your right.
-Or the midpoint of the torquer bar
is the other way to look at it.
-Right there, that's where I would call it.
-Yeah, that looks good, John, I think.
-Okay, 45 left down and 45 left down, correct?
Okay.
-And, John, as you translate to your left,
your safety tether is fine.
I think it would be fine on the real day.
Yeah, I think...
-As you move along the rib, John, the first handrail that
you come to crossing the rib, you're going to put the next one
just to the left of that handrail.
-Okay, and stop there, John.
Don't move more to your left.
-All right. -Going for number two.
-Was that okay, how I tethered to it?
-Yeah, that was great.
-Okay, Mike, I can verify it's closed
and locked on the clamp and closed
and locked at my bay workstation.
Looking around, everything else still looks good.
David, take me to my left about a foot.
-Copy, to your left a foot.
-John, I've got it here when you're ready.
-Okay. -Your helmet is well clear.
-Forty-five left down, 45 left down again.
-Okay. I let go of that too early.
Sorry. -That's okay.
-Okay, stop, David.
-I'll stop.
-I'll give you a little slack each time, John.
Sorry.
-Okay, Mike, we're in effect...
-To the vertical handrail, how close?
-Right next to it, on the left side of it.
-Okay.
-Okay, November, November.
-I can verify that's locked on the rib.
-I've got it. -Okay.
-Now is that critical where that goes,
or is that okay right there?
-November. -It's on the...
It's just to the right of the grapple target.
-Okay.
-The other one goes on just to the left of the grapple target.
-Well, right against it, or closer to the...
I'll let you guys talk about it.
-Okay. -An inch or so is all.
-Okay.
-I can't remember. -It's not that critical, Steve.
-Okay.
Yeah, John, on the map
it shows it right in the center of the distance
between the grapple target and the handrail.
-Okay. -The one on the left kind of
goes right at the bottom of the mag torquer bar.
The number three coming to you, hold on.
-Okay, I think I need to translate
to my left to do that one.
-Okay, stand by. I agree.
Okay, Mike, gate is closed and locked at both ends, verified.
-Put the hold at 12.
-Okay, David, take me to my left again.
-Copy, to your left. -About a foot and 1/2.
Keep that going.
Okay, stop. -I'll stop.
-And careful with the high-gain antenna,
and also the mag torquer bar has a wire on the bottom of it.
-Okay. -I will hand it to you
so you can install it with your left hand.
-Do they happen to have the mag torquer bar wire assemblies?
-Yes, sir.
They're on there.
Okay, I've got it.
-That's the way I'll hand it to you on the day.
Good clearance. -Okay.
-Okay, I've got it.
Let me clear out of your way.
-Okay. -David, to my left 3 feet.
-Copy, to your left 3 feet.
-And I'm heading down, around.
-Good idea.
-Watch your helmet on the high-gain antenna.
-Yep. -You're well clear.
-And can you look up and see that cable?
-David, stop.
-I'll stop. -Yes.
Oh, I sure can.
-Is it white or black? -It's black.
-Ah.
-Yeah.
Hey, before you come up, John, stand by.
-Okay.
-Okay, you have...
This is the number four you're putting in.
It's going to be between the vertical handrail
and the waveguide.
-Okay, John, I'm watching your feet.
They're about a foot and 1/2 from the solar array.
-Okay. -Watch the high-gain...
or the waveguide, so keep your feet in close.
-And, Steve, FYI, just to let you know,
the camera is pretty close to the...
-F site? -Yeah, well, look for the logo.
-Oh, I see it. I sure do see it.
-Well. -Okay.
You can come up if you need to
with that on the real day. We'll...
-No, I'm just fine, just so you know.
-Okay, Mike, the gate is closed at one end,
two ends on number four.
Coming off the caddy.
-And, Mike, this goes just to the right of the waveguide.
That right? -Correct.
-That's correct, between that waveguide and the handrail,
the vertical handrail.
-Okay, John, your feet are about 2 feet away, it looks like.
Keep them nice and tight. Let's see.
Let me hand it to you like it's useful.
-Thank you. -Okay, you've got it?
-I've got it.
-Good, keep your feet nice and close.
Keep your feet nice and close in.
I've got it. -Okay.
-Now this one you would like to tether to probably
if you're going to go under.
Right, so I would give it to you?
-Yeah. Let's try that.
-Yeah, and today it looks like
you'll have to go way forward to do it.
-And maybe could the divers move the PRT, please?
-And then while I have them, take your...
Take that thing out of there. There you go.
And, John, how about if I have them take your safety tether
and go underneath the solar array?
Then you can just start after the solar array.
-Okay. -Okay.
All right. So let me get your rib clamp.
Hold on. Keep your feet in.
-Yep.
-John, this end is verified closed and locked.
-Okay.
-I'm looking at the map which Mike has,
and it's of course aft of the solar array
at the midpoint of the mag torquer bar.
Looks like just to the right of something else
which would be...
-Well, you're going to come to the grapple fixture there,
and...
-Exit is to the right of the base of the grapple...
-Oh, yeah.
That's correct. That is, okay.
-All right. My end is closed.
Is yours closed? -It looks closed.
I don't really have a hand at the moment.
-Okay. -I can make a hand.
Stand by.
-Okay. -Watch your head.
Feet are good.
-I'm going to double tether it, so that at a later point...
-This is where I do recommend that you try and use it.
-Okay, I've got it. -Once John has it,
you should go to a transition where Steve holds John's legs.
-And because of John's safety tether,
he thinks he's going to go underneath the solar array,
and we can practice that on other days
when we have a specific setup.
Just like when I do handrail cover J.
So, John, why don't you go ahead aft and go over the solar array?
-Okay.
-Can you guys unhook his safety tether?
-I can probably sneak if they carry me under.
Can I sneak through it, or it's not enough?
-There's not enough. -Okay.
-You understand the issue, Mike? It's John's safety tether.
-Yeah, I'm going to go underneath.
-For this task, it's better if he goes underneath.
-Okay, I'm going to pretend to go underneath.
-Yeah, I understand. -Okay.
-So he's going to do this all...
So how is he translating over to the OTA bay?
-As you know from the days from the rest of the telescope
is in here, it's easy to go underneath the solar array
when all the rest of the telescope is there.
And then when he comes up, just like when I do handrail
cover J, there's plenty of handrails
that, of course, again, he can't do today.
-I don't see handrails there in that HJ OTA bay area.
-Well, I could tell you that the position John
is in right now, he can get there very easily,
and I guess we just have to practice that on the other days.
And in fact, he could practice it today over there.
-Yeah.
-Okay, do you have the rib clamp?
-Yep. -Okay.
Watch above your head I think is the mag torquer bar,
and there's also a grapple fixture.
-Okay.
It's installed.
Verifying both feet are under the rib.
-Okay.
You might have to find that your feet right now
need to go either against the telescope or aft, kind of,
just to keep it really close in.
Yeah, like that. -Okay.
I can even come further around the telescope.
-Can we give you handrail cover J to try?
-Sure.
-We could try it there and the other way.
I'll get it. Hold on.
-Mike, is it red?
Is that right? -That's correct.
Yeah, it's red.
-And for reference, Steve, the solar array
extends outboard of the slide wire.
-Okay, that's a good reference.
-I mean, only today obviously, but...
Where is the solar array? It rolled over like that.
-It just rotated when everybody was swimming by.
-Oh, okay. I just didn't want to break it.
-You can bring that up.
-It goes in this bay if it doesn't close.
Okay, here is the red cover for John.
-And, Steve, it's very important you keep monitoring John,
as we will, to make sure his legs don't swing up.
-Yeah, and, John, just don't work
until I turn around and pick it over.
Yeah, that's... It just sits there.
Stand by, John.
-Okay.
-Hey, Rich? Can you bring the solar array back up?
-It's one of the little Velcro tabs.
I'll do it.
-Tough area to work in.
Okay, I'll watch your clearance.
And what Mike and I have found is you've got to kind of
install it up at the top of the handrail
and then slide it down.
-Okay.
-Good body position.
Watch your right foot.
-I don't know if you can use
your left foot to hook onto a handrail there.
I don't know if that's possible or not.
-Well, it's here, anyway. -Yeah.
Probably easier if I hold your feet and you're over here.
Okay, watch your feet.
Good clearance.
That's good, Rich.
Now, Rich, can I get SERF number five?
You bring your feet in.
Bring them in parallel.
There you go.
Looks good, John.
Why don't you, when you come over here,
we'll do that rib clamp
and try from over here, too, just to be complete.
-Okay.
-You know, we usually have the ORC farther forward, Mike.
That's our problem today.
-Yes, I understand, Steve. -Yeah.
-Actually, I believe the ORC is the standard position.
I felt the same thing,
and Ron is saying it is in the standard position.
It's just it feels very, very tight when you're up against it.
-No, what I'm saying is, when you guys do SERF in here,
don't you usually move the ORC farther forward
to get it out of your way?
-No, we haven't done that, no. -But you have before.
I don't know if you've done it all the times,
but at the beginning...
-Not the last time, no. -Okay.
Just stick it in there.
Yeah.
Let's see, David. To get clear of the cope,
why don't you give me some wrist yaw left?
-Copy that.
-And move the arm to the portside.
-Copy.
-Can you...
Will you disconnect my safety wire, please?
-That's a good motion. Keep it going.
Good motion, keep it going.
Keep moving me to the port, too, if you can.
Okay. That's good on the yaw.
Go port.
-Copy port.
-And then hook it up again?
-Don, I'll be with you in 1 second.
-Okay, no problem.
-Solar array just fell off. -What did?
-Oh, it didn't fall off. It slewed.
-Oh. -The solar array.
-I'm going to stop right there, Steve.
-Okay, and then why don't you go ahead and...
Yeah, let me pretend to get one of the surfs here.
SERF5 would be over here.
Stand by, John, and I'll get SERF5.
-Did you want to do the rib clamp?
-Oh, yeah, let's do that first.
-I brought it over with me. -Good idea.
Dave and I were just starting to work on the arm position here.
Okay, David.
Can you take me aft and starboard?
-Aft and starboard. -And if you need to
pitch me down, let me know, otherwise aft and starboard.
-I'm about 3 feet from the telescope.
That's not the place you're really worried about, but...
Get that going.
Okay, David, stop that.
-I'll stop. -If you could take me down.
-Copy down.
-Looks like you have the clearance now.
-Yes, sir, I do.
-John, how's my footplate look, okay?
-Looks good.
They're about 3 feet lateral from the telescope
and clear below to the A side.
-Yeah, and I'm watching the camera down there.
Okay. Stop, David.
-I'll stop. -All right.
John, let's try this position here.
Let's see. I've given you the rib clamp.
-Yep.
-Okay.
I've got your right leg... -Okay.
-...and your right foot.
How you doing in terms of distance?
You need to go farther aft?
-Need to go quite a bit farther aft.
-Okay, David.
I've got one foot now, John, this foot here.
-Okay. -Take me aft and starboard.
-Copy, aft and starboard.
-Probably going to be about 2 or 3 feet, sounds like.
-Probably a little more like 4 feet.
-Okay.
David, we'll need to go starboard then
a little bit more than aft.
Yeah, let's go starboard next movement.
-Still moving starboard. -Okay, stop the starboard.
Go aft. -Copy, aft.
-I'm going to turn in just a second here.
-Okay. -Make sure everything is clear.
Good, David, keep it going.
-John, I need to get your safety tether.
-Okay.
John, how you doing?
-All right.
Okay, can you...
-Okay, stop. -...turn me on to my left?
-I'll stop.
-Okay, the rib clamp is on and installed.
-Okay, so how does that feel right there?
-That feels fine.
-Are you using your right hand to stabilize yourself?
-Yes. -Okay.
-Okay, I've got my tether off, and I'm coming back towards you.
-Okay, David, it's go forward. -Copy, forward.
-Okay. John, stop.
-Okay.
-Go ahead, David. Now, that works pretty well.
I've got your safety tether.
-I think for the rib clamp, that's not bad.
-Okay.
-SERF5, it's a little harder
because I have to get underneath.
-And, David, I can't see the F side, so...
-Yeah, I'm watching, Steve.
-Okay. -We're pretty good.
-John, tell me when you can go independent.
-Okay, I can go independent.
-Okay. Keep your legs in tight.
-Yep.
-Do you see the wave guide stop the arm?
-Yep. -I'll stop.
-Okay. Keep your legs in tight.
-Okay.
-You're way above the solar array,
but keep your legs in tight.
Okay, there you go.
Can you keep your legs in tight?
-Yeah.
-Okay, I'm going to stop watching you.
I'm letting go of your safety tether.
-Okay.
-You're in great position there.
I'm getting SERF5.
Okay, SERF5 is secured to me at both ends.
Okay, John, I'm turning around now to watch you again.
-And at this point, John holds on to something, grabs the SERF,
and then Steve holds his legs. -Okay.
Yeah, I'm going to get rid of the fake SERF, John, hold on.
-All right.
-And he should be tethered to the top part of the SERF.
-Okay, Rich. -Top left-hand corner.
-And who should, Steve or me?
-You should, John.
-You feed it, John.
Let me get this real one here.
Okay, this is how I grabbed it off the caddy.
Let me just take a peek at it here, John.
-Okay. -Understand what's going on.
-And for sure that's the side I get.
-Yeah, sure is, and that's going over towards you,
so that is a good place to tether on.
-Okay, that's locked.
-Yeah, I'm watching your feet.
That's locked.
-I've got the SERF.
-Yeah, I'm going to swing your feet over here.
-Okay, and let go of it? -Yeah, you've got the SERF?
-Yep. -Okay.
And I've got a great hook on you.
-Okay. -What would you like to do?
Want to just kind of figure it out first?
-I can do my left. -I've got a good hold of you.
-And, John, just remember, I'd do the little standoff...
that little rib standoff for the...
onto the J handrail...
-Right. -That's the first thing I'd do.
-That's the first. Okay.
-Yeah.
-Okay, I have to go aft. -Hey, David.
You could take me aft.
-Copy, aft. -John will be the second thing.
-Second thing? Okay.
So first you hook up to the rib clamp?
-Correct. -Okay.
-Good motion, David.
-Now let me get your safety tether.
-Okay.
-Keith, I have the ESTER removed.
For our sea divers, I'm bringing the ES...
SSR.
-Get that going, David.
How much farther, John?
-About 3 feet. -Okay.
Get that going, David.
I can see your safety tether is clear of the solar array.
And stop.
-I'll stop. -Now, John, if you want to go
any further aft, you have to come up underneath.
-Okay. Let me try this.
-Okay.
I can actually extend a little bit here.
You tell me what you want.
-Okay. All right.
If you could watch the end of the torquer bar for me.
-Okay, I can see it.
You're doing just fine.
Your swing arm is slightly deployed.
-Okay.
I'm hooked up on the rib clamp bottom tether ring.
-Okay.
David, very, very slowly come forward.
-Copy, very slowly forward. -It's big.
-And I've got good hold of you, John.
-Okay.
-So you can take your right hand and transition over here.
There you go.
Push your swing arm back in real fast.
There you go. -Thanks.
We've got to start down at some point.
-Yeah. -Or I've got to go down, anyway.
-Yeah.
-Get that going, David.
-Copy.
-John, I'm just trying to down, just you and I...
-Okay.
-...because of the false setup today.
-Yep. -Don't fight it.
Just tell me what you need. -Okay.
-Is anybody going to be able to run and get lunch?
-Still sneaking forward, still coming forward.
But I can row you, or...
-No more forward, I'll try and pitch down.
-Okay. -I'll stop.
-And now when you come up, come up real slowly
because of the mag torquer bar.
-Yep. -Okay, the arm has topped.
Take your time.
Right elbow is about 3 inches from the cable.
-Yep.
-You're rubbing up against the torquer cable.
That's okay, just don't come up any more.
-Okay.
-I can take you anywhere you want.
-Okay, we are installed on the rib clamp.
-If it helps to get rid of your tether, you can do that.
-I'll do that momentarily.
-Okay, right shoulder is up against the cable.
That's okay.
-I'm tethering. -You feel confident?
Because I really have a good hold of you.
-Reasonably so. -You should.
I mean, in real life you should use two hands.
-Yeah.
-I mean, in here you are floating up a little bit,
but, you know, in real life, I could push you down like this.
-Okay. I'm going to put my tether away.
-Okay.
And when you come back, watch the cable.
-Okay.
I'm going to tension the rib clamp level a little bit.
-Okay, and I know you see the cable at your right side there.
-Right peripheral vision.
