And a nice view of Discovery....with the SSRMS over the view of the orbiter, which the SRMS and OBSS are in the undock stance. So three arms in view.

And a lovely sunrise over the shuttle/station stack.

Crew in post sleep.

Glory launch coming up, so off to do that.

Well that wasn't fun (Glory failed).

Back to a happy mission.

Smoke alarm on the Russian segment.

Not quite... smoke alarm is going off in the Pirs docking compartment.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #125 on:** 03/04/2011 09:39 am »

Hardly the first time this has happened. Sometimes caused by dust.

Alarm is in Pirs.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #126 on:** 03/04/2011 09:42 am »

No smell or sight of anything amiss reported.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #127 on:** 03/04/2011 09:44 am »

This is the only view we have, by the way.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #128 on:** 03/04/2011 09:48 am »

Lots of Russian chatter on the loop. They always sound like they are arguing to me

Translator now on.

Sounds like they've turned off the dectector.

All readings are zero. No sign of smoke being generated, no odour.

Calling it as a false alarm.

Spot the fruit..

Either that or their next spacecraft.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #131 on:** 03/04/2011 09:52 am »

Josh notes they'll investigate the cause of the alarm, but it's a false alarm (it does happen - sensitive detectors, obviously). Crew back into normal routine.

That's Brazil's BTV next to the ATV and HTV. The Banana Transfer Vehicle will ensure the ISS does not run out of bananas once the Shuttle Program ends.

(Groan!

"It's been a busy morning for us here so far" - Josh.

Ain't that the truth!

DPC.

Crew being informed about the Glory failure.

"Sorry to hear that. That's unfortunate." Commander Kelly.

Per a previous discussion on NSF: maybe they're trying to provide the support necessary to keep L2 running?

(I'm going to have to moderate myself at this rate)

DPC was short. I don't think I'll ever moan about rubbish pick ups going to twice weekly again....when listening to Commander Kelly trying to work out where to stow some foam from the CDRA work.

6:08 Central will be an education event with kids in Alabama.
