The historic assembly of the International Space Station is now
underway, but it was no easy task.
The initial docking went smoothly, but the weight of the shuttle's arm
prevented the two modules from a perfect alignment. Once the arm was
released, the modules were properly mated.
Bob Castle/Lead Flight Director)
Earlier in the day, with the U-S node, Unity, hanging out of the
Endeavor's payload bay, Commander Bob Cabana positioned the shuttle
upside down over Zarya, so as not to block Russia's communication with
the module.
(nats/Mission Control) We are please to announce.. You have a go for
grapple..
A camera on Zarya captured these amazing pictures that even the Endeavor
crew couldn't see...
The two modules are so massive that Astronaut Nancy Currie had to rely
on cameras and computer graphics to guide the shuttles robotic arm as it
reached out and grabbed Zarya.
(quick nats of successful grappling) Houston, Endeavor, we have
grappled. we're halfway home for the day..
(SOT/Mission Control) "..a lot of people exhaling down here - we had a
terrific view from down here watching Nancy's good work"
The second half of the job was equally intricate. Currie, once again
blinded by the two modules, slowly brought the Russian module within 6
inches of Unity.
(nats of them talking about firing jets..)
Finally, Commander Cabana fired the shuttle's thrusters, forcing the two
modules together and sealing the crew's place in history.
