Instructed to open the thermal cover and stow the handrails.

Kept in embers about the forward plan - ground having conversations about it.

Moving the thermal shield bundle #2 to Node3! This is get-aheading get-aheads  ;D


Instructed to move slow and steady for CO2 reasons - not a concern now, but probably want to avoid cutting the get-ahead short because of haste.

These shields will protect Node 3's CBM that is currently in use by having PMA-3 attached. Once this Mating Adapter is relocated to Node2 zenith for Commercial Crew, these shields will be used to protect the exposed CBM.


They are being stowed outside because they're bulky and take up too much valuable space inside the Station.

I'm so thankful for this site and all who contribute to it so I can come back after the EVA and catch up on what I missed or could only devote 10% of my attention to at the time due to other obligations.  (And of course congrats to the astronauts and MCC-H).

A big shout-out of thanks to all those helping with coverage on this EVA, it's much appreciated.
It's unfortunate I can't watch live at work any more.
