T minus 36 hours - Engineering Log

[Dantassii]

At this time, all of the radiators are being deployed and tested. Once all the radiators are in place, the EHEs will be assigned to 1 of the primary radiators, the NTEs to another, and all the reactors to a third. Once this is accomplished, the reactors will all be brought online and tested, then the remaining modules will all be added to primary radiators as needed, have their heaters turned on, and lastly brought online.

The remainder of the countdown up to launch is:

• T-32 hours During the next dark side pass of the moon, all continuous operational modules will be switched off their primary radiators and the load balanced across the secondary radiators
• T-31 hours Continuous operational modules will be switched back to primary radiators
• T-30 hours SSTV-01 will go on internal power
• T-24 hours SSTV-01 will go on internal cooling
• T-20 hours SSTV-01 will go on internal life support
• T-18 hours Final topping off of food, water, and oxygen will occur using stores from the Lunar Station if needed
• T-10 hours Shutdown of all hydroponics and life support modules will begin with help from Lunar Station crew members
• T-5 hours All hydroponics and life support modules should be shut down by this time and all non-SSTV-01 crew will disembark to the Lunar Station
• T-4 hours Laboratory and engineering modules will be shut down
• T-3 hours All unneeded cooling modules will be shut down
• T-2 hours All SSTV-01 crew will be on-deck and available for launch
• T-0 Disconnect from Lunar Station and officially begin SSTV-01 Mission #1
