| 説明 | (NASA Photo jsc2007e044448 by Mark Sowa)STS-118 was the first flight of the Station-Shuttle Power Transfer System (SSPTS) -- the new system we went to KSC to watch being tested. I sat OJT on the EGIL (electrical/cryo) console to watch it in action and study how well our performance predictions matched up with its actual operation. Since SSPTS converts excess Space Station power to Shuttle power, we use less cryo to generate electricity and can stay docked to Station for several more days.In Mission Control, there is a plaque on the wall for each mission completed in that control room (there are other rooms you don't see on TV). My co-worker Christi was one of the EGILs who helped work on SSPTS for years while it was being developed and built, and she was Lead EGIL for STS-118, so she got to hang the plaque after 118 landed. The "Hang the Plaque" award is like being named MVP for that mission.BTW, they take these team photos in one of the brief LOS (Loss of Signal) periods during the mission, where there is no telemetry being received, so the whole room isn't shirking their respective duties like it may appear. |
