Summary

Well, the primary job of the pilot in, in every flight, obviously, my first job is to back up the commander. So, Eileen Collins is our commander, and although she's totally competent to do absolutely everything, we never do everything with one person. We always have someone to back them up. So my primary job is to back up Eileen pretty much in anything she does: flying the vehicle, reconfiguring the vehicle, all those kind of things, so that's my job number one. Probably the second biggest job I have is robotics for this flight. I'm a robotics operator on both the Shuttle arm, helping out with all the inspection processes, with the inspection boom and sensors and all of those things, as well as I'm a Station robotic arm operator, primarily for doing all of the EVAs, all of the spacewalk work, as well as the logistics module back and forth, onto the Station and back in the payload bay. So most of my time in flight is going to be taken up with the robotics operations.
