  6. LON Rescue Mission to SM4 (STS-400) Rescue Orbiter (Endeavor) grapples SM4 Orbiter (Atlantis) Crew Transfer is via EVA • Only SM4 crew goes EVA, not LON crew • Atlantis RMS used if available, but not mandatory

  7. LDRI/IDC WLE and Nose Cap Surveys • LDRI prime sensor (No daylight required, sensor has illuminator) • IDC “bonus coverage/best effort imagery ” • If IDC imagery resolution adequate, then it will be used to clear areas of interest (AOI), thus not requiring dedicated focused inspection. LDRI = Laser Dynamic Range Imager LCS = Laser Camera System IDC = Digital Camera ITVC = Intensified Television Camera Flight Day 2 Surveys Robotic arm extension - Orbiter Boom Sensing System (OBSS) is used. • ITVC Tile Acreage Survey • Replaces Flight Day 3 “RPM Photography” performed on ISS Missions • Totally re-designed contingency tile survey that was originally planned for STS-114
