Thank you everyone for your compliments, I appreciate them and I am glad that I am able to help you enjoy the coverage as I am trying to fill the gaps in the PAO coverage (what they don't tell you!). 15 bays of 31 now deployed on 4B - halfway there!

Pambo calling down that deploy aborted due to being uncomfortable with camera views...

4B deploy aborted due to the crew not likely the sun angle and their camera views, there will be a pause in the deployment until they can change camera views or wait for the sun angle to change, the abort is not because there is a problem with 4B, redeploy should occur in a few minutes.

Not long ago, before knowing about this website, when I was watching the deployment of the arrays on STS-117, I thought I was the only person getting excited just by watching the solar panels unfold. Now I know I'm not the only one!

Nice to be among all of you people.

The array looks great in that view, this flight is going great so far, too bad the starboard SARJ is causing problems and taking everyone's attention away from how successful this flight has been so far!

Complex is going to pass over San Francisco in about 5 minutes, 17 minutes to East handover, 50 minutes to sunset on this pass.

I had the same feeling when I discovered the forums  ;)

See those little flakes of something fly by the panels?

Edit: Oh crap... There's your source of flakes....
