Recalling STS-117, this is the same area where the Drive Lock Assembly wires were reversed. I wonder if there's any connection?

It sure looks almost like corrosion (he said that before too):

MLI is clean.

Replacing the cover, they're done with this site now.

Quick question on the SARJ issue: has the voltage increase been gradual, or did it suddenly manifest?

EDIT: found in Chris' article, the problem started on 9/2. Wonder if something (a bolt maybe?

) found its way in? Makes me wonder if it's contamination, not drive alignment.

In the briefing they said it was mostly normal, but with spikes in current.

"they're done with this site now"

how will this effect the sarg useage now they know theres a physical issue ?

edit:"It's SARJ, not SARG. SARJ is short for Solar Alpha Rotary Joint."

Shuttle Commander doing the Commainding thing there: Making sure that Scott knows not to push it with the heat and his hands by letting him know that he has her backing if he needs to seek shade again. It may sound like something he should know to do already but the pressure does come off when you know the boss is behind you.

Sorry stepped away, sounds like a couple of O-rings came off some of the connecters... Scott lost one an grabbed other... Is that about right? MCC-H is OK with the loss of the first?

dawei · « **Reply #175 on:** 10/28/2007 12:47 pm »

Lost an O ring. Bounced back and forth. MCC decides its OK.

dawei · « **Reply #176 on:** 10/28/2007 12:49 pm »

I DID see the O ring spinning away although the crew did not.

Perhaps someone who was recording could check to see if they could see it. It was in the latter part of the wireless video attempt to track it. One of the last views we saw.

dotdk · « **Reply #179 on:** 10/28/2007 12:51 pm »

Can someone explain on what part of the SARJ the filings are? And any guesses what it could come from?
