Flight Day 1 schedule
NASA PRESS KIT Posted: April 15, 2004
Orbit 1

Post insertion: Deployment of solar panels, antennas and docking probe
- Crew monitors all deployments
- Crew reports on pressurization of OMS/RCS and ECLSS systems and crew health. Entry thermal sensors are manually deactivated
- Ground provides initial orbital insertion data from tracking
Orbit 2

Systems Checkout: IR Att Sensors, Kurs, Angular Accels, "Display" TV Downlink System, OMS engine control system, Manual Attitude Control Test
- Crew monitors all systems tests and confirms onboard indications
- Crew performs manual RHC stick inputs for attitude control test
- Ingress into HM, activate HM CO2 scrubber and doff Sokols
- A/G, R/T and Recorded TLM and Display TV downlink
- Radar and radio transponder tracking
Manual maneuver to +Y to Sun and initiate a 2 deg/sec yaw rotation. MCS is deactivated after rate is established.
Orbit 3

Terminate +Y solar rotation, reactivate MCS and establish LVLH attitude reference (auto maneuver sequence)
- Crew monitors LVLH attitude reference build up
- Burn data command upload for DV1 and DV2 (attitude, TIG Delta V's)
- Form 14 preburn emergency deorbit pad read up
- A/G, R/T and Recorded TLM and Display TV downlink
- Radar and radio transponder tracking
Auto maneuver to DV1 burn attitude (TIG - 8 minutes) while LOS
- Crew monitor only, no manual action nominally required DV1 phasing burn while LOS
- Crew monitor only, no manual action nominally required
Orbit 4

Auto maneuver to DV2 burn attitude (TIG - 8 minutes) while LOS
- Crew monitor only, no manual action nominally required DV2 phasing burn while LOS
- Crew monitor only, no manual action nominally required
Crew report on burn performance upon AOS
- HM and DM pressure checks read down
- Post burn Form 23 (AOS/LOS pad), Form 14 and "Globe" corrections voiced up
- A/G, R/T and Recorded TLM and Display TV downlink
- Radar and radio transponder tracking
Manual maneuver to +Y to Sun and initiate a 2 deg/sec yaw rotation. MCS is deactivated after rate is established.
External boresight TV camera ops check (while LOS)
Meal
Orbit 5

Last pass on Russian tracking range for Flight Day 1
Report on TV camera test and crew health
Sokol suit clean up
- A/G, R/T and Recorded TLM and Display TV downlink
- Radar and radio transponder tracking
Orbit 6-12

Crew Sleep, off of Russian tracking range
- Emergency VHF2 comm available through NASA VHF Network
