This took a few takes to capture . . . Initially held onto the camera mounting bracket and pushed off (you can hear the bracket clinking). Then carefully let it go so the camera floats with you through space station. Flew from the aft end of the lab to the forward end of Node 2.

The US crew and Flight Director had a brief exchange this morning noting the 25th Anniversary of the start of crewed operations on board ISS. Fairly low key on what is otherwise a day off.

Robotics operations yesterday and overnight - SSRMS picked up Dextre from the MBS and moved nadir of the station near HTV-X1, and the JEM RMS (with the Small Fine Arm) moved over to a handoff position. This is probably related to the i-SEEP 3 activities that are part of the HTV-X1 tests.

Robo ops today - Dextre was positioned down near the nadir end of HTV-X1 and took some survey photos of the attachment points on the flight support equipment for i-SEEP 3B...

... then Dextre moved in and loosened four bolts, one at each attachment point (pictures here show the first two, the other two were similar)...

... and after all four bolts were loosened, Dextre returned to the H-fixture and used that to remove i-SEEP (held in its FSE) from HTV-X1, then moved it towards where it will be handed off to the JEM RMS.

More robotics ops - I think this is from a camera on the JEM RMS Small Fine Arm, as Dextre moves i-SEEP 3 into position for a handoff.

SFA is gradually moving in to the grapple point on i-SEEP.

Yellowstone10 · « **Reply #1191 on:** 11/06/2025 01:57 am »

i-SEEP has been handed off to the JEM RMS.

Yellowstone10 · « **Reply #1192 on:** 11/06/2025 11:16 am »

Continuing from last night, JEM RMS moved i-SEEP into position, then the JEM airlock opened and extended the slide table...

Yellowstone10 · « **Reply #1193 on:** 11/06/2025 11:39 am »

i-SEEP was then installed on the slide table and brought inside the ISS.

Reboost burn (from CRS-33) has started (probably - got a 45 second call about a minute ago).

Yellowstone10 · « **Reply #1195 on:** 11/07/2025 05:07 pm »

Reboost reported as nominal. (And evening DPC has been cancelled for want of anything to discuss.)

Ground controllers have tried all day to restore crew connectivity to the wi-fi network Cloudnet used to access onboard programs/applications. A server reboot failed to restore connectivity. CAPCOM just told the crew a file was inadvertently labeled "Clounnet" so the file was corrected and re-uploaded. Zena reported connectivity is restored and found the mis-named file hilarious. The hazards of computer programming...

CAPCOM is calling up instructions for the US crew to relocate the Cosmonauts from the Russian segment to the US segment to sleep tonight due to a high energy particle event periodically impacting the ISS overnight during the crew's sleep period. The plan was described as conservative and the Cosmonauts will be updated during the evening DPC by Moscow.
