I know Dextre is on its way upstairs in early 2008 but the boom seems like a useful piece of kit to have around on the space station too. Does anyone know of a plan to leave one up there post-Shuttle? Preferably one adapted to be used by the SSRMS as it is by the SRMS?

The current plan is to stow one on STS-123 on the S1 Truss. Two support struts were installed on STS-118 on the S1 zenith trunion pins to hold it. Their is a plan in work to provide power to it while it is stowed. The sensors would still only be compatible with the SRMS and the SSRMS would still only grapple it from the middle.

Does that mean they are leaving the OBSS on the station?

No, after the EVA is complete they will return OBSS to the shuttle. If the sensors still work, which is expected, they will use it for the MMOD inspections.

Between the launches of the two parts of the Japanese lab (STS-123/124??) Because there's no room in the payload bay for it with (I believe) DEXTRE and the one Japanese module.

Edit: Nevermind...misunderstood the context of the question.

From Air Lock: Robo conference is done. Getting ready for EVA/Robo

Scott would like to talk to EVA people. They have about 6 questions for them

Shuttle is going to be unmanned for the EVA conference. But crew will be in the lab if needed.

From what I gathered the conference is on a privatized s2g They are using netmeeting for video

Yes, but it'll be retrieved during STS-124. This questions has been raised a few times this week.

Elbow joint angle is in an okay config

MCC Reports that Elbow blanket was not related. Big joints are allowed to have some play. With the shoulder and arm pitch. Something about a POR
