Because of real-time planning changes, the Aug. 22 spacewalk now is scheduled to begin at 7:40 a.m. EDT.

OK folk, if we can get somewhere close to the amazing coverage provided for the previous EVA, it would be greatly appreciated!
For today's ISS spacewalk, Yurchikhin's helmet camera displays the number 20, Misurkin 17.
Both cosmonauts are in suits with blue stripes. Yurchikhin changed suit: he used suit #5 in EVA-34, he uses suit #4 now. As far as I know, it is unscheduled replacing. Misurkin uses suit #6 in both EVAs.
External Onboard Laser Comm Terminal BTLS-N will be removed and brought inside ISS. In future it will be installed outside MLM module.
During the depress, PAO talked about something being disposed of aboard the Progress and I thought he was talking about BTLS-N

I have no idea what's happening, but there seem to be some comm issues?
Fyodor and Aleksandr again installed VRM+DPN onto URM-D and now connecting cables.
So they figured out what the problem was??

Guys, thanks for the coverage. My PC is unusable so I'm just following your updates.
At the risk of offending some of my native Americans, cool scene with the flag.
Did they ever determine which antenna cover was missing? Any photos?
