 STS-96 Payload: MIRTs Changeout
On Flight Days 5 and 6, astronaut Julie Payette and Cosmonaut Valery Ivanovich Tokarev will replace all 18 of the battery charge/discharge units that support Zarya’s six nickel-cadmium batteries.
Replacement of the units -- they measure 5.9 x 4.7 x 3 inches and weigh 1.43 pounds -- may reduce the need for weekly cycling, resulting in better long-term battery performance and additional backup equipment capabilities for the ISS.
Payette and Tokarev were trained for this part of the mission in mid-March at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center at Star City outside Moscow, where a full-scale Zarya mock-up is located, and will follow procedures jointly developed by engineers at Mission Control Center Moscow and Mission Control Center-Houston.
