NASA TV Coverage Set For Briefings, Space Station Work
HOUSTON - In the wake of space shuttle Discovery's delivery of the Harmony connecting module to the International Space Station, the station crew will conduct three spacewalks and robotically move two components this month to prepare for delivery of a European laboratory. All of the spacewalks and major robotics work will be broadcast live on NASA Television.
The shuttle Atlantis is targeted to launch Dec. 6 to deliver the European Space Agency's Columbus science module. Before Columbus can be added to the station, Harmony must be relocated to its permanent location at the front of the complex. The station crew's spacewalks and robotics work this month will complete that task, allowing Atlantis to dock and Columbus to attach to Harmony.
