are these really in order? Feed5 seems out of the order to me (I asked that question before your post, but think it is a good time to re-iterate).
He posted them in the same order they were on the NASA web site, but I believe they are correct.
The 'Feed5' picture is of them setting up a portable X Ray machine to get an image of the inside-the-tank connector on the feedthru, before disconnecting it (from the feedtrhu). Subsequent pictures are of the feedthru in the bulkhead and the external connector.

Thanks for the reply. I've just spend an hour or so looking at the pictures (crazy me). Finally I think I have established my coordinate system
If I am right, the portable xray is pointing above the connection of the feedthrough, maybe around an arm's length or so. I placed a red dot on the area I think it is. Could this be?

The order looks correct.

This is a great thread and shows how complex space travel really is. I wish the general public would spend ten minutes on this thread and they would see things totally different. Chris, you do a great job.

I'm one of those who never post much, but follow the news articles here and the threads, and given only about 50 people have posted in this thread, but 50,000 have viewed it, some general public do get to read it, but yes, I know what you mean

Is there a meeting tomorrow to decide on a launch date?

(Probably also for the 123 thread)
With STS-122's launch date in flux, is it possible to simply move STS-123, with to our knowledge a clean tank, ahead of 122?
I wouldn't think Kibo and Dextre need Columbus to operate...

Answered many times - without knowing the exact cause of the current tank problems how can anyone be sure STS-123's tank is good? NASA could pay out to prep 123 for launch only to have the same problems.

Already answered, two pages back in this thread. 123's tank is not "to our knowledge a clean tank". More like "to our limited knowledge not an unclean tank". Big difference.

Is there a meeting tomorrow to decide on a launch date?
No. The launch date won't be known for several weeks due to the tests done at MSFC on ET-125's external feedthrough connector.
Then a new external feedthrough connector must be installed on ET-125 one that has it's connectors soldered and the qualfication for that one post-installation won't be done until the late this month.
So look for a launch date around early to mid February.

What Dave said.
Tomorrow is another PRCB (as per usual for Thursdays - though they have various types of PRCBs and JPRCBs all the time, but Thursdays are the big ones).

And Mr Hale will do a post PRCB presser:

But replay of the conference will probably be on

If I can get home (and be able to record it), I will record (and perhaps upload here) and upload, unless John44 does.

PRCB meeting to begin at 1pm Central. So far, it looks like it's still pointing at the external connector. Plan to solder the pins as the forward plan will be recommended to the PRCB.
Updating the article on site as we go, via L2 where the presentations will go on live.
If I am right, the portable xray is pointing above the connection of the feedthrough, maybe around an arm's length or so. I placed a red dot on the area I think it is. Could this be?
