The inspection of Atlantis' heat shield tiling is still hampered by a malfunctioning system on the sensor unit being used to scan the tiles. The crew discovered that a piece of hardware on the shuttle is pinching the so-called pan-and-tilt unit, which controls where the sensor is pointed.
"It is crystal clear exactly where the pinch is," Atlantis commander Ken Ham radioed to Mission Control. "No matter of panning is going to help change that situation."
The crew and mission managers are discussing how to move forward.

Astronauts Switch to Second Sensor System
15 May 2010 12:00 p.m. EDT
Astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis have decided to give up on a balky sensor they've been using to scan their orbiter's heat shield. Instead, they'll switch to a second sensor system attached to a digital camera that will take pictures of the heat insulation tiling.
The trouble with the scan has eaten up some of the crew's time, so they may have to postpone some other tasks and take longer than usual to complete the normally six-hour inspection.
Astronauts Complete Right Wing Inspection
15 May 2010 1:21 p.m. EDT
The crew of space shuttle Atlantis is proceeding, albeit slowly, with the inspection of their orbiter's heat shield using a backup sensor system. The astronauts finished scanning Atlantis' right wing, and are ready to move on to the shuttle's nose.
The crew is using a secondary sensor system that requires daylight, so they must wait out their current nighttime pass and begin work again in about 10 minutes when they have adequate lighting from the sun.

Atlantis Docks with International Space Station
Sun, 16 May 2010 04:34:20 PM GMT+0200
At 10:28 a.m. EDT, Commander Ken Ham backed space shuttle Atlantis into pressurized mating adapter #2 on the International Space Station’s Harmony node. The two spacecraft were flying about 220 miles up over the South Pacific at the time they docked.
The shuttle and station crews will open hatches and hold the traditional welcome ceremony at about 12:30 p.m. Atlantis’ crew will be working with Expedition 23 Commander Oleg Kotov and Russian Flight Engineers Alexander Skvortsov and Mikhail Kornienko, Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and NASA's T.J. Creamer and Tracy Caldwell Dyson.
About an hour after hatches are open, Caldwell Dyson and Mission Specialist Piers Sellers will use the station’s robotic arm to move the Integrated Cargo Carrier from the payload bay to the station’s mobile transporter. This will enable the carrier and its attached hardware to be prepositioned for use throughout the mission.
Mission Specialists Garrett Reisman, Michael Good and Steve Bowen will transfer the spacesuits and spacewalk equipment over to the station’s Quest airlock and begin setting up for the first spacewalk.

Hatches Opened Between Atlantis, Space Station
16 May 2010 12:57 p.m. EDT
The hatches between the shuttle Atlantis and International Space Station were opened at 12:18 p.m. EDT (1618 GMT), formally beginning a week-long station construction and delivery mission for the two crews.
Atlantis docked at the station at 10:28 a.m. EDT (1428 GMT). Up next for the shuttle astronauts: The first of three spacewalks to deliver spare parts to the station. That spacewalk will begin Monday morning.
