STS-104
Report # 02 
 Thursday, July 12, 2001 - 6:00 p.m. CDT 
 
 The five-member crew of the Space Shuttle Atlantis awoke to its first
full day in space at 5:38 p.m. The crew was awakened by the song ìWallace
Courts Murronî from the movie "Braveheart." The song, by James Horner, was
played for Atlantis Pilot Charlie Hobaugh. The shuttle is en route to the
International Space Station to deliver the stationís new airlock, Quest,
and is scheduled to dock with the station at 9:53 p.m. CDT Friday.

Atlantis Commander Steve Lindsey, Pilot Charlie Hobaugh and Mission
Specialists Janet Kavandi, Jim Reilly and Mike Gernhardt will spend their
first full day in space checking equipment in preparation for the major
events to come on their 11-day mission: Fridayís docking with the station
and Saturdayís first of three space walks. 

With Gernhardt and Reilly assisting during a seven-hour space walk,
scheduled to begin around 9 p.m. Saturday, Flight Engineer Susan Helms
will use the stationís new robotic arm -- Canadarm2 -- to remove the Quest
airlock from the shuttleís payload bay and attach it to the right side of
the station's Unity connecting module. The new airlock will enable station
crews to perform space walks in U.S. space suits without the shuttle being
present. This ability will enhance the stationís capabilities for
maintenance and construction and complete a major milestone in the
stationís orbital construction. 

The International Space Station crew - Commander Yuri Usachev and Flight
Engineers Helms and Jim Voss - awoke at 2 p.m. The station crew will spend
its day preparing for the Friday docking of Atlantis and the Saturday
installation of the Quest airlock. The Expedition Two crew has been in
space since March 8 and in charge of the space station since it took over
from the Expedition One crew March 18.
