Shane has the straight nozzle grease gun from his bag and is starting to do the final batch of lubes on the port SARJ

Just a note, there is a specific sightings thread, please allow this thread to continue as specific live updates on FD11 and the EVA-4.

GREAT work again by all concerned. Has allowed me to fill L2 again and that's good for all of you, as the time has allowed me to write up an article based on the new info, which includes the extension decision minutes (quotes from Leroy Cain etc). Going on site in about 30 mins.

The complex is passing due east of New Zealand moving NE, KU through West will be better during this time of the orbit as the angle between West and the KU antenna is lower, the complex is passing more "under" West as it moves NE.

29 minutes to sunset, the complex is at orbital noon now.

Shane has lubed the sections of the port SARJ ring under covers 6 & 7, he will now get ready to put the covers back on.

Complex will pass NE of the eqautor in 10 minutes starting orbit 158 of STS-126. The GPS antenna that Steve installed on the JEM JLP will now be tested to see if it is functional.

28 minutes to East only comm (KU), and 25 minutes to sunset, PET is 4:40

And that's complete:

Next article will focus on the MMOD damage to Endeavour's window number 6, which has been cleared as is for re-entry.

I can cover and draft up the next article at the same time. Thanks very much for the coverage so far, as it's really helped. Very good team work here.

Position of Kibo. A different model resource as the other model is incomplete. I might just use this one from now on.

I love NSF!

Heads up, in about 15 - 20 minutes, the complex will start to pass NE over the north Central USA, people in Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin will have a good sighting opportunity on this pass! ;) from SW to NE.

The GPS antenna assembly is powered up and looks good.

Complex is passing NE of the equator now, 16 minutes to sunset, 19 minutes to East only KU, complex is at 217 sm. altitude.

Station blockage of KU through West as the complex starts to move "ahead" of West, next KU pas should be through East.

ISS CDR Mike reports that they are getting ready to load a urine sample into the UPA to test the IFM changes made today, a run should take 4 hours if it works properly.

In 7 minutes the complex will NE over Baja California heading NE over the Central and North central USA, a great sighting pass is coming up! ;)
