Paolo having problems with RPOP...sure have been a lot of computer problems...

Using XP for the first time on certain machines......thankfully it was not Vista, they would still be trying to find the ISS :bleh:

From a computer geek, would be interesting to know what the issue was post flight.

15 minutes since Discovery has undocked. (About 5 minutes from a pass overhead of my house!!)

We're getting S-Band stills..

150 feet away. I hope we have sunrise/sun for the fly-around...

Should do! Sunrise in about 15 / 20 mins according to my orbital tracking app:

Station has taken attitude control.

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.

INITIATING THE FLYAROUND

I hope the camera is zoomed out when they do the fly around

edit: not now anyway, and the ISS is drifting out of view now,
would there be something wrong with the camera?
