Status of SM Shields on ISS
As I recall, the SM and GFB launched without their debris shields installed,
due to weight constraints. The shields were to be launched later, and installed via EVA. Does anyone recall the status of this upgrade? |

Status of SM Shields on ISS

Does anyone recall the status of this upgrade? Six SM shields were launched aboard STS-111 in June, 2002. They were affixed in place by the Expedition 5 crew of Valery Korzun and Peggy Whitson during an Orlan EVA on August 16, 2002. 17 more shields for Zvezda have yet to be launched. I don't know how many more are needed for Zarya. |
