P6 still attached to SSRMS, still working through the proceedures. Go to ungrapple was a while ago.

Caps all put back into place. Really hard to understand a word they are saying at the moment.

And the SSRMS has ungrappled from P6.

Lots of praise for the guys at the VR Lab.

EDIT: Ah nice one Chris :cool: . I know theres quite a bit of fish eye but the whole station and Discovery in one shot from an EV... quite brilliant

Quick OT Q: What are the donut looking objects placed in what appears to be random locations on the outside of the ISS? They look like white circle with a black dot in the center...
