Over New Zealand, egress will be in daylight.

1220 UTC, now at 1 psi, the pressure decreases quite slowly at this point

jcm · « **Reply #86 on:** 11/01/2012 11:23 am »

Now under 0.7 psi, close to the point where they can open the hatch

There we go. Watch for the thermal cover to pop open!

Opening hatch, thermal cover popped open

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #91 on:** 11/01/2012 11:28 am »

And there it is!

Dappa · « **Reply #92 on:** 11/01/2012 11:28 am »

Hatch open and stow, thermal cover is opened.

Hatch opening - saw the pressure on ISSLive! instantaneously drop from around 20mmHg to around 1mmHg.

Yes, love love love the pressure display!

I believe the EMUs are as for EVA-19, i.e. EMU 3010 for Williams and EMU 3011 for Hoshide

EVA handed over to "Spanky"

Dappa · « **Reply #97 on:** 11/01/2012 11:34 am »

Aki and Suni configure their tethers.

First task is to translate out to the P6 Truss worksite - with Hoshide stopping at the Z1 Truss to retrieve a tool along the way. (http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2012/11/astronaut-duo-spacewalk-iss-isolate-ammonia-leak/)
