Stephan was that object that you believe to be the camera floating by?

Pam describing current look at the damage area...says all the wires are snarled up...

Scott saying that the repair is not going to be made via the easiest option.

Crikey. Hinge wire and a grommet all snarled up.

"Doesn't look like an easy shake it" - Pam, after taking a good look.

Peggy referred to the mass of snarled wire and grommets as a "furball"

Bubbinski · « **Reply #109 on:** 11/03/2007 09:32 am »

Scott said he thinks they'll have to do "the whole enchilada" on the repair with the array. I guess that means cutting the guidewire and having Wheels reel it in?

Scott and Wheels translating down the truss.

Scott enjoying of moving on the truss:

To which Paolo responded "I hope a lot of tethers though"

Seems we're in a Ku cutout over the ZOE. Translation continues.

Sounds like Scotts gloves are already a bit muddied-up.

I was hoping to make Ku calls today (I practiced yesterday) but need the Execute Package to do it.. Chris can you shake someone at PAO?

Scott says he can see the damage site.

Scott setting up the OBSS in preparation for ingress.

I doubt I'd get a response.

Looks like Scott's making very good progress.
