ISS Remote Power Control Module Swap Deferred

July 27, 2010

The International Space Station (ISS) operations team met late yesterday to review results of last week's dry run for using Dextre and Canadarm2 to replace a failed Remote Power Control Module. The team elected to defer additional work with Dextre until additional analysis of the forces required to remove the smart circuit breaker from its housing.

The delay will not affect plans for the upcoming US spacewalk by Doug Wheelock and Tracy Caldwell Dyson, which remains on schedule for August 5. Power systems on the Station are operating well with the failed Remote Power Control Module in its current installed position.
