Part 9: Readying the station for continued assembly BY WILLIAM HARWOOD STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS "SPACE PLACE" & USED WITH PERMISSION Posted: July 11, 2005 The day after installing the new gyroscope, the astronauts will enjoy a half-day off, share a joint crew meal and hold a traditional in-flight news conference. Krikalev and Noguchi also will participate in separate news conferences with reporters from their own countries. Supply and equipment transfers to and from the logistics module will continue and Robinson and Noguchi will configure their tools and service their spacesuits for their third and final excursion the following day. Flight Day 8 highlights:

Tipping the scales at 6,300 pounds, ESP-2 will be pre-packed with critical equipment needed for extensive station re-wiring during upcoming assembly missions when the lab's huge solar arrays will be attached to the currently unfinished boom. Robinson and Noguchi also will retrieve two materials science experiment packages used to expose various materials to the space environment and install a third. The station's robot arm will be used to pull ESP-2 from its mounting in Discovery's cargo bay. The box then will be maneuvered up to the Quest airlock module on the starboard side of the Unity node for attachment by the spacewalkers. The SSRMS, meanwhile, will lock onto the logistics module attached to Unity's nadir port to set the stage for its detachment the next day. Flight Day 9 highlights:

After re-berthing the module in the shuttle's cargo bay, the SSRMS will lock onto the end of the OBSS boom, take it from the shuttle's arm and put it back in the payload bay for return to Earth. Engineers hope to eventually mount the OBSS boom permanently on the space station, after assembly reaches the point where clearance issues become a problem. Flight Day 10 highlights:
