Can anyone point me to a map of RCC panels?  I'd like to be watching when they go past the MMOD strike on the port side.

Note:  I'm not a subscriber of L2 yet.  If I was, I wouldn't get ANYTHING done :)

Yes.  Please do not distribute to other sites/forums as this is a snippit from L2.

Discovery has a GO to maneuver to port wing attitude.

Apologies for the 25 minute drop out. Was not the site's fault, but the server company (who are going to get an earful from me!)

Rick: "We undocked, right on time. Zambo performed the flyaround, without use of one of the main tools (as noted)."

LaBrode: George flew the whole flyaround, as anticipated.  Zambo flew without RPOP trajectory.   Flew a 'mean' flyround.

Great job to the 120 crew.

"We have already completed starboard and nosecap with Late Inspections. We opted not to do the slow scan, as it's not required.

"Eight WLE indications (actually it's nine I think...anyhoo) none will be a problem).

"MMOD on window, 1/10th inch. Engineers have no concerns."

LaBrode: MMOD Strike on Window #2.  Size is a little over 1/10th of an inch.  Window #2 is just left of the commander.  Not expected for any problems.

EDIT:  Chris got me.   :bleh:

"It's been an incredible mission, one that I will reflect on for the rest of my career."

Good work sir.

Hale praises him and his team.

Hale compares the EVA to Skylab onwards, and notes the importance for when NASA returns to the moon.

Redundancy test on hydraulic redundancy via solid motor test last week was good.

WLE sensor readings don't mean it was debris impacts (as per earlier note).

Nothing has been noted on the Late Inspectons at present that is of any concern.

SARJ inspection may be in a stage, or later flight, unlikely to be STS-122.

This descending vs. ascending deorbit commentary is absolutely fascinating.
