When the night falls, the lights are on!

And the arm moves...

Go for Canadarm OBSS grapple. The Space Shuttle's robotic arm is now going to get hold on the sensor, so that OBSS can let go.

Grapple confirmed.

Well, I'm signing off for a while, I should study a bit

And so is NASA TV, apparently. Video File time.

UHG!!! bad TV scheduling imo... For live missions there should be 24x7 on the media channel coverage live. Darn.. I may now have to actually do some work to pass the time :frown:

In a quick undock, you would lose the ability to do late inspection.

They're in that position now, with the SSRMS holding the boom. If there's a quick undock now, I highly doubt one of the steps is to restow the OBSS.

Right, but I assuming that your exposure to leaving the boom "on the station" during handoffs (an orbit or two) is much smaller than the duration of the exposure to that case if it was stowed on the truss (most of the docked duration, excepting possible inspections).

The Video File is predominantly for the media...

Granted, however public channel is showing the same as media right now and educational channel had nothing running on it when I just checked. Three channels and none of them covering a live mission??? makes little sense to me... no worries, I don't want to start a flame here,, just adding one opinion.. On with the mission!

Don't forget mission audio is available at http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html (although when PAO is active, they are still heard on the feed.)

And we're back, with Clay "Holy Smoke it just came back on" - although he's talking about something with the computers, rather than NASA TV coverage

Yeah, but the audio quality is terrible! lots of distortion.

Education channel has been disabled until Oct 29th, probably to make room for the HD service. That's still up by the way, mostly running a camera of the launchpad (now empty), but in the last hour they actually started launch replays, including the HD shots!

Edit: if you're wondering "what HD service?!", go look at my recent posting history.

Yeah, your profile does not show post history.

What's the reason for OBSS unberth? To get it out of the way for Node 2 transfer?
