Had to step out.  Was the PDGF install fully completed?

Making a pull test of the PDGF, so I assume the installation was fully completed.

Thanks!  Anybody with a list of uncompleted tasks?  Missed enough that I couldn't check everything off accurately.

Seems like they did pretty good today given the additions and the struggles with the MBSU.

With the exception of the RPCM R&R, what were they not able to accomplish?

I was making myself the same question about the unfinished tasks. I wasn't paying many attention to the Node outfitting, but some of the sub-tasks there included were surely not completed: gap spanners, trunnion covers, and removal of CBM pip pins and petal restraints.

RPCM R&R wans't completed either, but that was more or less expected.

It's wonderful to see the complexity and size the Station is getting! What a great accomplishment we're building, little by little.

I disagree, I am 99% sure they got the gap spanners, trunnion covers and CBM pip pins (the aft one was the last one to get, and houston has Scott do it after the PDGF was finished). I am not sure about the petal restraints though.

With the exception of the RPCM R&R, what were they not able to accomplish?

Per SpaceFlightNow.com:

"Replacement of a faulty circuit breaker and electrically hooking up the new robot arm grapple base will be pushed off to an EVA on another day."

You're probably right; as I said I wasn't paying much attention at that time (I was having lunch! :laugh: ) Not a big deal of unfinished tasks, in any case.
