Just two days until TSIS is extracted from the Dragon truck! Watch here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-iss-stream ….
Just under 24 hours until the extraction of TSIS from the Dragon trunk begins. Tune in starting at 2p MT tomorrow: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-iss-stream … #GoTSIS
It's extraction day! The ISS robotic arm is positioned above the Dragon trunk with the tools it needs to grasp TSIS in about 5 hours.
Hello EOTP! We'll be attached to the EOTP until installation on the ExPRESS Logistics Carrier (ELC) on Saturday.
A beautiful shot of TSIS this Colorado morning. The EOTP is providing power to the survival heaters so TSIS stays warm during today's translation.
The installation of #GoTSIS on @Space_Station has completed. We will be turning components on shortly. Yay!
It looks like Dextre is waiting for the next pullout.
First day of year and the International Space Station has a multi continent all day sequence of operations to remove new Space Debris Sensor from Dragon payload bay, install it on one of Europe's external platforms then remove the highly successful Rapidscat for return to Earth

I’m curious how Rapidscat is going to be returned to earth since it was carried up in the trunk.
it will return to the Earth's atmosphere in very small pieces ;-)
Switching completed successfully. HDEV being powered back on so no worries at all about that thermal clock and SDS will be powered on for first time!! In parallel Robotics has commenced removing Rapidscat and putting it in the Dragon trunk. Columbus EPF back to three residents!
Also to free the platform up for new external payload. Should be ASIM next hopefully.. fingers crossed! SOLAR could also be removed in the future when a fourth spot is needed
