>> THIS EVA
BEGINS THE ONE BRAVO
POWER CHANNEL UPGRADE.
CHRIS, WEARING THE RED STRIPE,
DEGRESSES FIRST.
HE SETS UP THEIR TETHER ANCHORS
AWAY FROM THE AIRLOCK
TO ENABLE THEM TO GO
FARTHER UPWARD.
THEN BOB,
WEARING THE WHITE STRIPE,
GRABS HIT FOOT RESTRAINT
AND FOLLOWS OUTBOARD.
CHRIS PICKS UP
HIS FOOT RESTRAINT
ON THE CETA CART
AND HEADS TO
THE EXTERNAL PALLET,
OR EP.
THE EXTERNAL PALLET IS HELD
BY THE ROBOTIC ARM
AND HOUSES THE NEW BATTERIES
LAUNCHED FROM JAPAN
ON HTV-9 IN MAY.
CHRIS SETS UP HIS TOOLS
AND PREPARES HIS WORK SITE.
BOB TRANSLATES TO THE S-6
INTEGRATED ELECTRONICS ASSEMBLY,
OR IEA, WHICH WILL BE
HIS MAIN WORK SITE
THROUGHOUT THE EVA.
THE IEA HOUSES THE BATTERIES
AND HARDWARE FOR THE 1-B
SOLAR RAYS AND POWER CHANNEL.
CHRIS WILL JOIN BOB
AND THEY WORK TOGETHER
TO FINISH SETUP.
FIRST, BATTERY FROM SLOT
NUMBER ONE IS RETRIEVED.
THE CREW NEEDS TO RELEASE TORQUE
WITH THE RATCHET
THEN USE THE PISTOL GRIP TOOL,
OR PGT, TO COMPLETE THE RELEASE
OF THE BOLTS.
THE LARGE BATTERY IS REMOVED
AND THE CREW WORK TOGETHER
TO MOVE IT OVER TO THE EP
FOR DISPOSAL.
CHRIS INGRESSES
THE FOOT RESTRAINT AND
THE CREW INSTALLS THE BATTERY
IN EMPTY SLOT X.
THEN THE ARM MANEUVERS
TO PLACE CHRIS IN FRONT OF
THE FIRST NEW BATTERY IN SLOT A.
AFTER PLACING SCOOPS
TO CREATE HAND HOLDS,
THE CREW WILL RELEASE THE BOLT
TO REMOVE THE BATTERY.
CHRIS AND BOB WILL
TRANSLATE THE NEW BATTERY
TO THE TRUSS AND INSTALL
IN EMPTY SLOT NUMBER ONE.
THROUGHOUT THE EVAs,
BOB WILL NEED TO MOVE
HIS FOOT RESTRAINT TO REACH
THE DIFFERENT BATTERIES.
NEXT, THE BATTERY IN SLOT TWO
IS REMOVED
AND TRANSLATED OVER
TO THE PALLET.
AT THE EP, CHRIS IS IN
A FOOT RESTRAINT
AND PLACES THE BATTERY
ON HIS BRT,
OR BODY RESTRAINT TETHER.
CHRIS WILL RELEASE
THE ADAPTER PLATE LAUNCHED
UNDERNEATH THE BATTERY.
LIKE WITH THE BATTERIES,
HE HAS TO USE THE RATCHET
TO RELEASE THE HIGH TORQUE
AND IN THE PGT
TO FULLY RELEASE THE BOLT.
CHRIS REMOVES THE ADAPTER PLATE
TO HAND TO BOB.
BOB TRANSLATES BACK TO THE TRUSS
TO INSTALL THE ADAPTER PLATE
AND OPEN SLOT TWO.
AT THE SAME TIME,
CHRIS IS PUTTING THE OLD BATTERY
IN THE SLOT HE HAD JUST
EMPTIED FOR DISPOSAL.
TOGETHER ON THE IEA,
THEY MADE A CABLE BETWEEN
THE ADAPTOR PLATE
AND THE NEW BATTERY
TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT.
WITH ONE OF THE THREE
BATTERY PAIRS COMPLETE,
THEY MOVE TO SLOT THREE
TO REMOVE THE NEXT OLD BATTERY.
THIS BATTERY WILL BE STOWED
ON THE ADAPTER PLATE
IN SLOT TWO,
WHERE IT IS NO LONGER
NEEDED TO FUNCTION.
BOB AND CHRIS RETURN
TO THE PALLET
TO RETRIEVE BATTERY B.
THEY REPEAT THE STEPS
TO RELEASE THE BOLTS,
TRANSLATE BACK TO THE TRUSS.
AND TOGETHER INSTALL
IN EMPTY SLOT NUMBER THREE.
AT THIS POINT,
BOB AND CHRIS BEGIN CLEANUP
ON THE FIRST OF THE TWO
ONE BRAVO BATTERY CHANNEL EVAs.
THEY ALSO PREPARE FOR
THE NEXT EVA, INCLUDING
MOVING FOOT RESTRAINTS,
SECURING TOOLS AND BAGS
WHERE THEY WILL BE NEEDED.
ONCE THE WORK SITE IS CLEAN,
CHRIS TRANSLATES FROM
THE END OF THE S6 TRUSS.
PAUSING TO RECONFIGURE
THEIR SAFETY TETHERS
ON THEIR RETURN TO THE AIRLOCK.
BOB FOLLOWS FOR INGRESS
