STS-41C EVA 1 FUN!!!
« on: July 07, 2008, 07:52:11 AM »
After reading the HORROR storries from STS-41C and the Solar Max Sat Grapple I was Looking foward to this.... Last night was the Pre-flight/lift off and First sat deployment, and tonight was the FUN part. After moving Challanger into Range I move the EVA to the MMU. Now I go toward SM. WOW what fun!!! Ill have pics posted tomorrow, but the MMU is GREAT!!! 15 minutes of finding were to put the adapter I move in. Now tomorrow Ill move on to the RMS Graple after the Pics.


I LOVE this SIM!!!!

Solar Max took 25 minutes to capture on the RMS. I would move close using the RCS, then power up the RMS and move into position. I would switch from RMS to RCS moving the shuttle and Arm Around the SM. then 14 minutes later I had her in the Shuttl Bay. I saved ther and will return tonight for EVA2, AFTER I upload some pics....
