It is expected to be about 4-6 hours turned off. Our thermal preparations allow for an 8 hour duration in case the EVA runs long. Power is restored after the EVA ends. About your second question, I am unsure of what you mean. If you ask if it is possible to power-down HST completely when it is away from the Shuttle, the answer is no. We are powering down by disconnecting the batteries and Shuttle power. |
