• Node 2 has been delivered to ISS and is configured between
PMA-2 and the US Lab.
• ETVCG CP3 (S1 outboard) camera repaired or replaced
• ETVCG CP7 (P1 inboard) camera installed on P1 Truss

Simulated ISS Window Views
Windows assessed:
1. Soyuz forward/port window
2. US Lab window
3. DC-1 EVA hatch window
Notes and Caveats:
• Windows omitted from this study do not appear to provide adequate views of the
docked Orbiter.
• DOUG does not include built-in cameras for the Soyuz, Lab, and DC-1 windows.
For these window views, a simulated camera was placed at known coordinates just
outside the window.
• At the time of this study, DOUG does not have Node 2 configuration, so the orbiter
was moved to reflect the extra ~ 22 feet of distance along the ISS velocity vector
from ISS windows to Shuttle WLE.
• When possible, simulated window views were compared with actual on-orbit views
to verify general placement/accuracy.
• Possible SSRMS, SRMS, or OBSS blockage of window views was not considered.
• Physical limitations/reduced space, which could hamper viewing depending on
Photo/TV equipment, are not known for all windows.
