Tethering now the PDGF to the payload bay, then breaking torque on the bolts that hold it in place. That PDGF will be later installed on Harmony. Go for SASA stow.

Amazing storms in the background! Too fast for me to catch on screencap.

There are some great flashes on the background from thunderstorms on Earth, over the Australia/New Zealand region.

Very smooth spacewalk so far.

Yuri talking to MCC meanwhile, as they're performing the nitrogen transfer.

They're driving the bolts manually! I didn't know SASA worked that way. That explains the many problems they had before with it.

1hr 14 mins into the EVA.

Having a bit of bother with a bolt.

... speak of the devil.... looks like they're having bolt problems now even!

Fortunately, they've succedeed in bolting it in place.

Finishing it up with the PGT.

And about to head into daylight:

Discoloration noted on Doug's glove. Waiting for a view. But no damage.

Wheelock moving away from SASA riding the arm.

And now going to egress the APFR.

Prepping Node 2 for removal (later).

Now translating to the MBSU sidewall carrier, although they're not doing anything with it now: next step is installing the PDGF.

"Look at the full moon, to your right, over the starboard wing - what a view" - shame we didn't get a helmetcam view, but still...you can all imagine the coolness involved :cool:

SSRMS being transitioned to allow Doug to remove the foot restriant from the arm.

eeergo · « **Reply #117 on:** 10/26/2007 11:39 am »

GO to translate to Node 2.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #118 on:** 10/26/2007 11:40 am »

Foot restraint is off.
