Details of the NH burn. From FD3 Exec notes.

Using a new software (Paint.net) (Whats with the new Gimp 2.4 being crashy?)

Zachstar, I think the Ku coverage is indicated in the exec package. It should be the solid bar on the left, the other bars are the coverage of the TDRS satellites. If I am right about that, Ku video should be shown any time now from the shuttle.

No more trim required.

First time I've ever seen trim used.  :o

After some more thinking, I reached the conclusion that the solid bar shows nighttime for the shuttle, sorry for the inconvenience.

Quick question, as I never heard a more final answer: did they ever get to the bottom of the Fuel Cell #2 problem?

Well, I can't understand the network problems they are having.
The setup should be quite straightforward and can be tested on the ground.
In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is !

One thing I have learned from getting this house on a small network is. Networks are VERY picky and slight issues or mistakes lead to massive FAIL.  :bleh:

Maybe it has already been explained, but it seems to me we are getting very little live video from the shuttle side.. is there a problem? Could it be connected to the network problems?
