Substitution of Walk the Dog with the Planned Group B Tests with TWO SPHERES Satellites

Radiogram DV4-IV: Substitution of “Walk the Dog” with the planned Group B tests T2 and T6 showing TWO SPHERES Satellites performing docking manoeuvres

10.3.4. DEMONSTRATION DV4-IV: VIDEO RECORDING OF THE PLANNED SPHERES ISS TEST SESSION 5, GROUP B T2 and T6

Purpose of demonstration: Video record the features of the SPHERES Satellite, and film two docking manoeuvres -T2 and T6 which will be run consecutively - of TWO autonomous, free-flying SPHERES.

RC: shooting with handheld camcorder in USOS

Required equipment: SPHERES equipment

DEMONSTRATION PREPARATION: EA: Preparation according to SPHERES ISS Test Session 5: Docking and Reconfiguration protocol procedures, at the start of the Group B: “MIT 5: Docking Multi Sat” Tests.

RC: Prepare the camcorder in the USOS according to the following NOTE and either of the Video Setup options indicated in Section 10.3.4.1 below. Preferred option at crew discretion.

1. Ensure that the Focus button/switch on the left of the camera is in the AUTO position; 2. Ensure that the Auto Lock button/switch on the back of the camcorder is on the top Green-coloured setting; 3. Just before you begin shooting, move in to choose a MID-shot of EA with the SPHERES in the centre; 4. Now view this main shot and allow the camera to adjust for 5 seconds; 5. Now record the shooting session as normal. 10.3.4.1 VIDEO SETUP in USOS

10.3.4.2 FILMING OF EXPERIMENT:

1. EA: Position yourself in the centre of the frame, facing the camera with both SPHERES “floating” at rest in front of you after Group B T1 is completed RC: Frame MID-shot on EA and SPHERES. Put camera in record mode and begin recording

2. EA: Hold SPHERES down; out of view of the camera. Release SPHERES so that it drifts back into its “at rest” position in the centre of the frame. RC: Hold MID-shot on EA

3. EA: Point out main features of SPHERES equipment; the sensors etc. RC: Move in very slightly and frame MID-shot of key features of the SPHERES equipment (NOTE: Take care, if feasible, that focus is not lost)

4. EA: Prepare for Group B T2 by positioning both SPHERES Satellites in the middle of the work area and stand in frame while satellites perform T2. RC: WIDE shot of EA as the SPHERES Satellites perform T2 docking to a fixed target manoeuvre in front of him

5. EA: Prepare for Group B T6 by again positioning both SPHERES Satellites in the middle of the work area and stand in frame while satellites perform T6. RC: WIDE shot of EA as the SPHERES Satellites perform T6 docking to tumbling target manoeuvre in front of him 6. EA: Point out infra-red/ ultra-sound beacons on different surfaces of the ISS/ USOS RC: MID- SHOT of EA pointing out ultra-sound beacons

7. EA: Repeat step 7 RC: Move in to get CLOSE-UP shot of one of the ultra-sound beacons. (NOTE: Take care, if feasible, that focus is not lost)

8. END OF DEMONSTRATION DV4-IV

RC: Set camcorder in standby / off mode. On the back of the camcorder ensure that the auto lock button is in the top Green-coloured setting.
