Thanks. Maybe the RPOP problem is related to our Ku troubles.

I believe they're using the KU for RADAR (PAO just mentioned they were using the RADAR system..) since the RPOP is not working.

After listening to the last few exchanges, wondering if they left it in radar mode to troubleshoot RPOP...

Good guess, I was thinking the same thing.

MCC-H: Flyaround looks excellent, great job.

Discovery: People just don't understand how hard it is to preform a flyaround without any trajectory.. or anything.

MCC-H: We would never guess you did not have data. Looks great.

Knowing Clay, he's probably on the flight deck waving...

Discovery giving KU back to COMM

I also think they are using the antenna for radar and so no KU. Not easy without RPOP, I am even surprised they did not abort the flyaround.

So no live video but surely they recorded all on tape and hope we get some playback later on NASA TV.
