KOBAIRO Rack's Function Check Continues

Last Updated: February 7, 2011

The Payload Flight Control Team (PL FCT) at the Kibo Mission Control Room (MCR) at the Tsukuba Space Center (TKSC) activated the KOBAIRO Rack on February 3. Right after the activation, the team detected some communication errors within the KOBAIRO Rack and stopped the checkout activities. Currently, the team is examining the initial data obtained during the activation. Setup of the sample cartridge into the rack by the ISS crew, which is originally scheduled on February 4, will be postponed until after the team confirms that all the rack's systems are functioning well.
