Is ITAR preventing them from showing us the inside of the trunk? Or is it another case of "You will respect my Proprietary"?

[QuantumG]

I imagine there's just nothing to see yet.

[Chris Bergin]

Yep. Nothing to see, and we had a conversation not long ago where it appears it might even be sealed off.

This op is only about putting the robotics through a test run.

I was wondering where the radiators went. Some have suggested that they must be inside the trunk, and I was hoping to find out.

Couple of pretty shots.

Aren't they on the outer surface of the trunk?

Nick. Nothing since flyunder has been uploaded in hi res due to the long weekend. We know, as we're going to grab every single photo in hi res for L2, like we did for Shuttle (NASA.gov would pick and choose about 10, we'd have massive dumps of hundreds ) and like the 300+mb of flyunder for this mission.

Thanks, Chris. You're making a case for me to pay up and join L2... nice 'non-advertisement' advertisement... we'll done!

That's what I understood, the radiators were literally built into the trunk, as with the Apollo SM.

Go to insist we keep this on updates.

Although not a lot happening with Dextre. Everyone keep an eye on it!
