Building and Grounds workers began cleanup and repair yesterday morning and should finish the job by tonight said structural foreman James F. Caruso...
These daredevil exercises were a rehearsal for Challenger's April voyage, when its crew will try to recover and repair a $150 million scientific satellite called Solar Max (for Solar Maximum Mission), which was launched in February 1980, at the approaching peak of the solar cycle, to gather information on the effects of the sun's activities on the earth. The robot observatory has been crippled for the past three years because of a minor electrical problem. Flying to the satellite with his manned maneuvering unit (MMU), an astronaut will attach himself to the ailing bird. Then...
These orbital theatrics have a high purpose. In pushing off from Challenger's open cargo bay, Astronauts Bruce McCandless II, 46, and Robert Stewart, 41, both of whom are making their initial shuttle trips, will be rehearsing the first repair of a satellite in orbit. That is slated to take place in April, when astronauts attempt to retrieve and revive a $150 million robot scientific observatory nicknamed Solar Max, which has been spinning helplessly since it broke down three years ago. If this tinkering succeeds, it could pave the way for even more ambitious efforts, including the assembly...
Because of the station's limited size, life on board may be somewhat restricted, but hardly boring. Besides doing their regular-chores, the workers will occasionally have to leave the station in small maneuverable capsules to retrieve satellites for repair or help nudge additional units into place. In their idle hours occupants will browse through the station's library or play video cassettes. They will exercise regularly, perhaps on fixed bicycles or treadmills; such exertion ensures continued muscle tone and the health of the cardiovascular system in the less taxing weightless environment. Even couples may be allowed...
