Steve is working on removing some insulation blankets from the SPDM (Dextre) and bundling it up as it is no longer needed.

The new camera and pan tin assembly on the SPDM installed on this EVA will be tested by MCC-H.

3 minutes to East only comm available, 2 minutes to a NE pass near Cuba, 20 minutes to sunset on this pass.

Heads up for those viewing in the UK, the complex will pass over London, England on this pass in about 14 - 16 minutes. You may get a good sighting opportunity if the weather is good, I'll post a reminder when we get closer to the pass.

The complex is moving NE over the Atlantic Ocean, Al is at the airlock recharging his O2 and Steve is being moved on the SSRMS to his next task.

10 minutes to sunset, and 20 minutes to the next ZOE pass.
