From the replay (PAO seem to have forgotten to turn the audio off the loop and on to the replay for the dedications - oh, they've sorted it now).

If I was being soft, I'd say Discovery looks like she's having a nap. Thankfully I'm not, so I won't say that ;)

Anyone else agree that Discovery sure is a beauty?

Seems like they have solved the PGSC network problems. Will come aboard when they have KU through Discovery to check it out.

Has anyone an idea what this truss thing is that is near the camera?

Definately, she's the best!

I think it's the Mobile Transporter for the SSRMS, but I'm not entirely sure.

But it seemed to be turning with the solar arrays some minutes ago.

It's the cooling radiators. They move as well. Located on the truss.

That is the S1 thermal radiator rotary board onto which the three thermal radiators are mounted on. It rotates through the use of a Thermal Radiator Rotary Joint(TRRJ) to keep the radiators shaded and cool.

Actually the P1 thermal radiator rotary board.  That's Harmony behind it, on the port side.

EDIT: speaking of the S1 radiators,  EVA 2 (Sunday) will include a reconfig so that the ground can deploy the remaining S1 radiators on Monday.
