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.
