00:00 [ Sound Effects ]

00:12 And this view from NASA astronaut Woody Hoburg's helmet

00:15 camera as he works to pick

00:16 up the articulating portable foot restraint

00:19 from the Port Sedokart.

00:21 [ Sound Effects ]

00:25 [ Inaudible ]

00:30 Copy. Sticky locking pole, Woody.

00:33 [ Sound Effects ]

00:39 Copy the paddles.

00:41 [ Sound Effects ]

00:49 Woody, this is in line with what we expect for this APFR.

00:54 [ Sound Effects ]

00:56 Okay, I copy.

00:57 [ Inaudible ]

01:00 [ Sound Effects ]

01:05 Copy a TCV of 2 for Woody.

01:08 [ Sound Effects ]

01:10 Negative 7.

01:11 Copy 7.

01:13 [ Silence ]

01:20 All right, just confirming that the adjustable large/small goes to 0008

01:28 and the integral goes to the upper handrail.

01:35 AFIRM, that's right, Steve.

01:37 That handrail should be 13.

01:39 Once that's done, I'll take a glove inspection and have it checked.

01:44 [ Silence ]

02:03 And while Hoburg works to secure that articulating portable foot restraint

02:08 after grabbing it from the Port Sedokart, we are going to hear Bowen complete a glove

02:14 and HAP check.

02:15 [ Inaudible ]

02:20 The HAP is the helmet absorption pad.

02:23 And this is checked regularly throughout the spacewalk along with the gloves just to ensure

02:28 that everything is performing as expected.

02:32 [ Silence ]

02:45 With the articulating portable foot restraint now in hand,

02:48 Hoburg is going to work to install it on the Canada Arm 2.

02:52 [ Silence ]

02:58 All right, I've got the integral on 0013 and the large/small adjustable on 008.

03:08 Copy.

03:10 [ Inaudible ]

03:37 Woody, I have your next step, working with Frank to GCA to the published APFR install position.

03:46 All right, Jams, I agree.

03:48 Steve, do you need the column?

03:49 Just for one second, I'm going to head over to R5 on the upper.

03:58 [ Inaudible ]

04:01 And Steve, can you confirm that you've picked up the PGT?

04:05 I left the RET on the bag, so that's not on your swing arm,

04:08 and I need a glove inspection HAP check.

04:12 Okay, I'll do the glove inspection HAP check first.

04:17 And you -- we were getting a view there briefly of the IROSAs.

04:24 There we see it again here, the International Space Station rollout arrays.

04:28 There's two on that palette on the very left of your screen.

04:31 One of them is going to be installed today, and the other will be installed on June 15th.

04:40 We're also getting a view of the Canada Arm 2,

04:42 which Hoberg will be utilizing today when he moves the IROSA to the 1A power channel.

04:59 All right, Jenny, I have the PGT, and you want me to leave this RET on here, correct?

05:06 Yes, leave the RET on the bag and RET swap to the swing arm RET.

05:16 All right, that's going to work.

05:17 If you've driven the PGT, set it and give the glove to read.

05:21 Bravo 2, counter 2.

05:26 Bravo 2, counter 2.

05:27 All right, I'll let you know if we get contact or if I haven't done it yet.

05:32 All right, read back.

05:50 I am Jared Woody.

05:51 You may now disconnect.

05:52 Copy, thanks.

05:54 And also in your frame there you can see a Dragon vehicle that actually brought up the ISS rollout solar arrays.

06:03 That Dragon docked to the International Space Station on Monday.

06:11 Following the docking, the ISS rollout solar arrays were removed from Dragon's trunk

06:16 and placed on that pallet that you just saw there.

06:19 Next, our spacewalkers are going to work to remove that first IROSA solar array by removing some bolts

06:27 and working through some procedures to loosen it up before it can be hand-carried by Hoburg on the robotic arm.

06:43 I have a meter to go.

06:44 Continue.

06:46 Copy, continue.

06:53 Twenty to go.

06:55 Continue to publish.

06:58 Ten to go, continue to publish.

07:02 And we're emptying out.

07:08 Okay, Woody, that is our published position.

07:10 How is that looking?

07:12 All right, Sultan, can you please give me five zero centimeters station meter?

07:21 Copy, Woody, half a meter station meter.

07:24 And welcome.

07:25 Thank you.

07:36 I see good motion.

07:38 Okay, 30 centimeters to go.

07:46 Continue.

07:47 Continuing.

07:54 Okay, we're emptying out.

08:04 Okay, Woody, that is half a meter station meter.

08:08 Copy, Sultan.

08:09 That is -- GCA complete.

08:10 That's the perfect position.

08:12 All right, copy.

08:13 GCA complete and brakes are coming on.

08:15 Copy, brakes on.

08:17 And I'll be installing the AVFR.

08:20 Woody, we're looking for --

08:21 That's affirmative.

08:22 You are go to install the AVFR.

08:24 Woody, we're looking for a clocking of 12.

08:28 Copy, clocking 12, and I already confirmed Papa, Papa, Fox, 6, set.

08:33 Good settings.

08:35 Steve, I'm back with you.

08:37 Excellent.

08:39 Five turns, five or two, counterclockwise two.

08:43 And releasing at four or five.

08:48 Copy, the boat will spring out when fully released,

08:50 and you'll see a white line indicator, expect 18 to 20 turns.

08:56 Hope we're continuing to step through procedures to get that articulating portable foot restraint

09:01 installed on the Canada Arm 2.

09:07 This articulating portable foot restraint, or APFR,

09:10 allows him to click his spacewalking boots into it so that he can ride aboard the Canada Arm 2.

09:19 He'll be carrying the Airosa while he does so.
