It ’s no surprise that NASA has all of the adept gadgets , and they ’ll be using some of them for the approaching flight of the Space Shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station , which is schedule for launch on the 27th .
For one they ’ll be using a camera on the end of the Shuttle ’s 50 - foot retentive robot sleeve to examine the shuttlecock ’s heat shield for any damage , and then they ’ll be using the same arm to maneuver a 17.5 - gross ton truss into post , total more solar panels . Then two astronauts will use their hi - technical school spacesuit to take a stroll into blank to prepare for the unfurling of the raw 240 - ft long solar panels . All this at an height of 220 miles and a speed of 27,000 miles per hour Meanwhile , at an height of about 5 foot , I am having fuss building an Ikea bookshelf . I wonder if NASA could give me hand ?
