From what I've read from Chris and other sources it looks like Atlantis processing won't be the constraint, rather the stage activities will drive the timeline. It's going to be a busy 5 weeks up there.

That's correct!

I suspect that depends on which set of activities has the most trouble. If the stage stuff goes well, and Atlantis starts to encounter bugs (leaky valves, hatch limit switches, you know the type), I would think the situation could easily reverse.

Whole load of stuff going into L2. First thing that stands out is the consideration of a docked late inspection prior to EVA-4, due to continued worries over OBSS damage.

Sorry, but have to say this.. Wow, cool!!! :cool:

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't a docked late inspection constrained to the port side only as Destiny and PMA-2 is in the way for a inspection of the starboard side?

Would the purpose of a docked late inspection be to get OBSS focused-inspection-ish data on the suspect MMOD hit, or a full suite late inspection?

I don't know Dave, still recieving. The docked Late Inspection option is mentioned a lot on the main doc on now (writing it up, non L2ers.) Again, this is coming in live, so we need to keep screening through this all to see status.

Probably doesn't need to be said again here, but this is why we want to put people in space, not machines....

I think we are all getting a good picture of how they will use the strips to hook through the holes/grommets in the panels. It seems like they are planning on reenforcing across the whole width of the panel. I'm just curious how will the strip be attached through the hole especially since in most of it he will only have access to one side.

How big are the holes? If Scott would miss it, the array will be bouncing around, and he will have to wait until it stablizes again.
Scott will really need nerves of steel for this one

CAPCOM has just said a little while ago that the Node outfitting tasks for the docked portion of the mission is already completed. Lots of things going on, but they're still accomplishing the main planned tasks.

It's actually called Flight Control Room or FCR for short. It's pronounced "ficker". The previous MCC control room was called Mission Operations Control Room or MOCR for short. That is pronounced "mocker".

VIP call with George H.W. Bush is about to begin.

George Bush senior doesn't seem very interested in how they are gonna repair the solar array!!
I can't wait to get some good explanation from the MSB how it will work!
