MCC reports pressures are stable.  Leak would be small.  Go to continue nominal procedures.

Hi everyone, sorry I have been very busy this morning with other work activities so my EVA comm updates will be short for this EVA.

For those watching NASA-TV, we are approaching the ZOE (that is why we have lost KU video right now, we have S-band video stills only right now), this ZOE pass is going to be 13 minutes long, sunset on this pass is 7 minutes away.

We may get some video through TDRS-Z on this ZOE pass so keep your fingers crossed.

Richard

No galling.  No debris, no safety wire.  no leakage.  (re F4)

Any crystals from F6 likely to be from male half.  Will be prepared to quickly put cap on if necessary.

We are now receiving KU video through TDRS-Z for the next few minutes (about 5 minutes of KU available right now, this is an estimate)
