OBSS is confirmed latched to the starboard MPMs on Discovery, and SSRMS is GO for OBSS ungrapple.

Is it just me, or does Stephanie sound extremely happy every time she says "copy" to someone? Not that that's a bad thing...

SSRMS now ungrappled from OBSS, SRMS is GO for maneuvering to pre-cradle position.

I think I heard the PAO say that ingress to Harmony might occur already during the next Ku-pass which starts in about 30 minutes.
In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is !

Works for me!  I totally skipped sleeping tonight, and the sooner they ingress, the sooner I can get some shut-eye!

Oh, and the SSRMS has been given a GO for maneuvering to MBS PDGF 3 pre-grapple position.

Ku is back, and we have Peggy and Paolo preparing for Harmony's hatch opening.

SSRMS is in motion, presumably headed towards MBS PDGF 3.
