ICEINK - 26/10/2007 5:08 PM Do you think they will have a way to creat a glove over a glove (outer layer) that is replaceable while on EVA?

Would you believe it, they actually have! :laugh: It's in documents on L2 and I think Chris has written something about it. It's a kind of overglove for the palm and finger joints, but won't be used unless deemed really necessary.

I'm thinking the NASa image for the day will come from the top of P6.

this almost looks like oxidation. What do you think? Or is is the the way it is sun lit?

It's up there but it makes things too difficult for the astronauts to use their fingers so they'll only be used in event of something not going right. L2 has plenty of info on it.

OK to initiate a cold soak if they like. Anybody know what that means?
Also starting tool inventory before ingress.

forgive me if this has already been asked, but is the installation of Harmony on Unity a much different procedure than the installation of the Leonardo logistics module?

Now at the airlock:

They just confirmed capture of Harmony to Unity. Good work.

Edit: Time of capture was 10:38 Central according to the commentator.

Wheelock has ingressed the airlock with Parazynski to follow:
