Meanwhile, Tanner released the two solar array blanket boxes. Although they put the blanket boxes in the ready to deploy position, the subsequent computer commands for releasing the pins holding the boxes closed were not successful. The commands were repeated and the pins on the starboard wing's blanket boxes released that half of the solar array and the wing deployed.

OBS

[...] Tanner grimpe jusqu'au sommet de l'ITS-P6 - soit à une trentaine de mètres au-dessus de l'orbiteur, afin de placer les boîtiers contenant les panneaux solaires en position de déploiement. Brent Jett télécommande ensuite l'ouverture des chevilles qui retiennent fermés chacun des boîtiers. La manœuvre ne donne aucun résultat. La commande est de nouveau envoyée et, cette fois, le boîtier contenant la paire de panneaux solaires du côté tribord s'ouvre, libérant les deux ailes solaires.

To select reverse thrust after landing, the flight crew lifts the reverse-thrust levers. An electrically operated "balk" blocks each lever at the reverse-idle position until the thrust reversers deploy. Then each balk is removed to allow selection of full-reverse thrust. This electrically operated balk replaces the thrust control cable interlock used on previous 737s.

Meanwhile, Tanner released the two solar array blanket boxes. Although they put the blanket boxes in the ready to deploy position, the subsequent computer commands for releasing the pins holding the boxes closed were not successful. The commands were repeated and the pins on the starboard wing's blanket boxes released that half of the solar array and the wing deployed. However, one of the portside boxes remained closed. As the starboard wing with its two array blankets deployed the astronauts noticed waves in the blankets as the solar panels stuck and released during the 1 3-minute deployment sequence.

The PVR [Photovoltaic Radiator] is a critical component of the space station's thermal control system. It will cool the photovoltaic power system electronic equipment and the batteries used for power storage. The PVR will also provide environmental cooling for the service module during early phases of the space station. Each PVR Orbital Replacement Unit(ORU) consists of 7 radiator panels, each about 6 feet by 12 feet in size. The radiator panels are designed to deploy on orbit from a stowed position about 2 feet high to an extended position about 50 feet in length. Each ORU weighs about 1, 600 pounds, with a total of 4 units in the final space station configuration.
