HOUSTON, Texas -- Astronauts aboard the
international space station and the newly arrived shuttle Endeavour planned
Monday to start unpacking a new toilet and a contraption that purifies urine
and sweat into drinkable water at the orbiting outpost.
The
main business of the day is unloading a cargo container nicknamed
"Leonardo" from space shuttle Endeavour's belly and attaching it to
the international space station. Inside the 21-foot-long container is almost
15,000 pounds of equipment that will allow the space station to expand from
three to six crew members next year.
"Things
are going exceedingly well," said LeRoy Cain, chairman of the mission
management team.
Besides
the extra bathroom and urine processor, Endeavour delivered an exercise
machine, kitchenette and two sleeping compartments. Endeavour docked with the
space station Sunday afternoon almost two days after it launched from Florida.
The
shuttle's crew will spend almost two weeks orbiting 220 miles above Earth at
the outpost, setting up the new equipment and going on four spacewalks to clean
and lubricate a solar wing-rotating joint that broke down more than a year ago.
Once
the hatch opened between the space station and shuttle, it looked like a family
reunion. The shuttle's seven astronauts exchanged a cacophony of greetings with
the station's three crew members, wrapping one another in bear hugs and shaking
hands. In a long-standing tradition, a bell was rung at the station's entrance.
"Sandy, welcome to your
new home," space station commander Mike Fincke told astronaut Sandra
Magnus, who traded places with astronaut Gregory Chamitoff as a space station
crew member. After living for six months at the station, Chamitoff will return
to Earth with Endeavour.
Analysts
on the ground continued looking at images taken during launch and right before
Endeavour docked. When Endeavour pulled within several hundred feet of the
space station Sunday, shuttle commander Christopher Ferguson guided it through
a 360-degree backflip so Fincke and Chamitoff could take close-up photos of its
thermal shielding. About 200 digital images will help NASA determine whether
Endeavour sustained damage during liftoff Friday night.
Shuttle
officials initially thought a narrow strip of thermal blanket was yanked off
during launch, but images showed the blanket remained intact. They now think
the piece of debris seen coming off Endeavour or its external fuel tank during
launch likely was a piece of ice, which didn't strike the shuttle.
Shuttle
officials can order an extra inspection if they're concerned but won't make
that decision until Tuesday. The extra precautions were implemented after the
space shuttle Columbia disintegrated during
re-entry in 2003 over Texas,
killing all seven crew members.
