[b]Soyuz relocation delayed[/b] Today's relocation of the Soyuz TMA-19 from the aft end of the Zvezda service module to the Rassvet module has been temporarily delayed due to an electrical breaker problem that delayed proper orientation of one of the station's solar arrays. Flight Engineers Fyodor Yurchikhin, Doug Wheelock and Shannon Walker are in the Soyuz awaiting a "go" to undock from flight directors in Houston and Moscow. All systems aboard the Soyuz are functioning well, but a remote power controller "fuse" had to be reset on the beta gimbal assembly latch on the 4B solar array on the P4 truss. The arrays must be locked in place for structural stability before the move can take place. Flight directors delayed today's move for a minimum of half an hour. The Soyuz relocation will be dependent upon correct repositioning of the solar array, possibly occurring about 3:30 p.m. EDT.
