New theory addresses frozen Earth paradox
HOUSTON, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- International Space Station crew members were preparing Thursday for next week's launch of space shuttle Atlantis and its mission to the space station.
Astronaut Peggy Whitson and cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko were to confer with National Aeronautics and Space Administration controllers in Houston to review Rendezvous Pitch Maneuver photography procedures they will perform as Atlantis approaches the station for docking. The photography will produced imagery of Atlantis' heat shield for analysis by experts at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
Whitson and astronaut Dan Tani worked Wednesday resizing spacesuits and gathering needed tools for the STS-122 space shuttle crew to use during their scheduled spacewalk.
Whitson and Tani also Wednesday installed the Centerline Berthing Camera System that will be used for visual cues in the installation of Europe's Columbus module to the Harmony connecting node.
Atlantis is scheduled for launch Dec. 6.
