ZOE is 4 minutes away, it will be a 9 minute ZOE pass, sunset under 8 minutes away. We may get some KU through TDRS-Z.

Outstanding. The 116 crew is probably sitting around, scratching their heads wondering 'Why didn't it work that well for us?'

Confirmed deployed (we lost Ku video a couple minutes ago).

sts1canada · « **Reply #348 on:** 10/30/2007 02:33 pm »

2B is completely deployed 100%, great job! Now we will wait to see what happens to 4B later! 1 minute to ZOE, 5 minutes to sunset.

These arrays certainly seem to come out of the box easier than they go in!

Nah -- retracting the arrays was always going to be harder than deploying...

I know. It was still amusing to me though

Now, I read that this deployment was set for 11:58 am. Did they get really far ahead of schedule on this or is this for a timezone ahead of EDT? I'm CDT and it's only 10:36 here right now. If they got ahead, when is 4B deployment set for?

nathan.moeller · « **Reply #352 on:** 10/30/2007 02:37 pm »

Sun is setting.

yeah this was fast (for spaceflight standards :bleh: )

Yes they are ahead of the timeline today, I suspect that they will start the 4B deploy during the next day pass, sunrise will occur in 19.5 minutes.

I hope my updates are not too disruptive to the flow of this thread, if they are, let me know and I will back off, I don't want to irritate anyone with my text posts.

13 minutes to sunrise on this pass. Complex passing southwest of Australia.
