PAO described the Jul 1990 EVA (previous Orlan record) as repairing insulation on Mir's exterior. It was actually insulation blankets that were flapping loose on the Soyuz TM-9 reentry vehicle.

Not just Ku but S-band as well. S-band is what is used when the Ku band antenna is unable to lock on to a TDRS. S-band is omni-directional so it doesn't have to track a TDRS with a narrow beam like the Ku band antennas have to. This is why S-band coverage is greater than Ku band coverage.

Yes, but 2.5 hours of this time they were in Discovery airlock ;)

I never understood why that counted.  They were on umbilical inside the airlock, right?

Because of NASA rule: from battery power to repress.

Yes.

Still not good if your suit springs a leak - and Ed White was on umbilical throughout his EVA, you're not going to count that?

Thanks for the great coverage. I don't always pay attention to the Russian ones, but I was interested in this one (and will be again for the next).

Thanks David, Artyom, Chris, Prober, GP and David for the excellent coverage! ;D It's really nice to catch up, as life kept me busy during the EVA.

Thanks everyone for the great coverage - this thread is a lifesaver for people like me who weren't able to follow it live, but still want to get the play-by-play coverage without having to watch through a 7.5 hour YouTube video. :)
