there is one at 4:06 am local, will be -1.1 on station side, HEavens above has not updated after undocking so Endeavour is not showing up but should be close enough

hey down there Chris!

Na, that pass was over Southern France, about a 600 miles too far south ;)

And it's already dawn break (and bloody cold), so that's a no go.

First set of pulses were good with no anomalies.

No one has flagged up the debris by the way, so clearly no concern.

Saw it live before logging in, was a lot of debris/objects. I doubt they would say over NASA TV if it was a problem.

I know, I was talking about the people I know who are working the mission.

Was likely ice as she stretched her elevons for the first time in two weeks.

I thought the debris (what I also thought was ice) showed up at APU start, prior to the elevons moving.
As you said though, probably not an issue if it hasn't been noted.

The view here is almost like as if your gazing out the window of your plane flight home after a busy week at work.

Both and during I'd say. I assume the APU start gives off a bit of vibration?

All quiet on the loop as Box and Commander Kelly take it in turns at playing SSM2007 (blatant advert alert! ;))

The Endeavour tribute will be next.
