SEWING SOLAR PANELS…..
During the construction of the Space Station, one of the solar panel pairs was launched early and was temporarily mounted on the top of the station. Once the truss was finished, the astronauts retracted the panels to relocate them. Afterwards they redeployed them, but suddenly, something snugged, and the panels were ripped. The astronauts had to improvise to fix them, so they decided to saw them using spare wires and other materials they had on board.
However, there was another challenge, how to reach them. They used the extension arm of the robotic arm that the Space Shuttle used to inspect the tiles on the back of the it. After reaching them, standing on top of the robotic arm, they had to saw them carefully…. And saying carfully is because there is the need to remind that, there was a lot of electrical power flowing through them, and they were very delicate. So damaging the panels or the astronauts would be a very bad outcome.
How a 2$ Toothbrush Saved the ISS
Another improvised fix for the solar power system was implemented by Sunita Williams and Akihiko Hoshide, who were replacing a main bus switching unit. However, they found themselves unable to bolt the components back together using the tools they had on hand due to the bolts being stuck. They analyzed the problem and determined that debris and metal shavings were getting stuck in the bolts. They then developed some tools on orbit, using a jumper cable cutted and splayed out the wires thus creating a wire brush. They also modified a toothbrush for EVA use, which meant adding extra big handles, lanyards and hoops to hang on the suit. Using these custom tools, they performed another EVA, completing the installation and returning the 200 billion dollar Station to power with the help of a 2 dollar toothbrush.
