They'll be looking down the barrell of Harmony next time they arrive

Now I can't wait for STS-119 so we can see just how big this monster will get.

The orbit of Discovery after the SEP-2 burn is as follows: 188.1NMx180.9NMx51.63°

Some replays of the undocking (as seen from ISS) playing on NASA TV. Love the shot of Discovery at sunrise!

Looks like an OMS pod..

Troubleshooting problems with the WyndeCom machine.

The sensors on the OBSS are ready and able to support the TPS inspections. Inspections are scheduled to get under way in 30 minutes.

MMT confirm OBSS good to use:

Once Discovery gets into attitude for the scans, they are go to pick up the flight plan.

Great shot of the ISS!

I inverted the live image I screened and then put it in its right configuration:

We're so close now to seeing ISS look as it was originally envisioned!

Obviously then, the Russian (or are they, in fact, German?) computers are working without problems.
They have been working fine since they were fixed in June.

Actually, they have only been working well since August, when they
were replaced.

Sep burn complete...(SEP 1)

I was staring hard to see if any flash occurred at ignition or shutdown, as it often does with the OMS/RCS due to momentarily prop flow mismatch. But I didn't see a thing. Anybody else 'see' any indications of the sep burn?
