If anyone's following, there's audio d/link available right now from NASA TV online on the "Live Space Station Video" channel.

Sound's like they're going into the Soyuz.

Wow, closing hatches now.

Also, if I got the right PAM debris, then this might be the tracking of it and the ISS on one map...

Yep, closing hatches, looks like they are going to be moved to Soyuz.

(Remember, this is a contingency).

None of the other news sites are reporting this.

Are they getting into their entry suits as well?

Sounds like they're busy sealing off Harmony...

Don't worry they will be there like vultures at the post-event conference ready to write their doom and gloom stories.

Last forward hatch is closed.

We aren't making it up. The memos are official and the loops pretty much says it all.

Closing Destiny now?

NavySpaceFan · « **Reply #13 on:** 03/12/2009 03:11 pm »

Heard COL Finke say they are closing the starboard hatch on Unity as well.

Colds7ream · « **Reply #14 on:** 03/12/2009 03:13 pm »

So in the event that a module does get holed, will they reattach any modules connecting to it to a different CBM?

NavySpaceFan · « **Reply #15 on:** 03/12/2009 03:14 pm »

US segment isolated according to COL Finke.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #16 on:** 03/12/2009 03:15 pm »

All three members of the crew needs to be in Soyuz in 20 minutes.

Out of interest, how come there hasn't been a DAM performed for this?

Conjunction's close distance discovered too late.

Right - it's even in the subject line of the thread...
