Orbitron?Live tracking, thanks the sts1canada, I was able to set up Orbitron and get very accurate tracking on my laptop. Also a nice feature as a "live" screensaver.
We can discuss in another location but it's a free ("cardware"-send him a postcard saying hi) application that lets you customize and add orbital elements, and track just about anything in the sky.
Maybe there's already a thread for this somehwere, if not I'll start one and ask sts1canada for his expertise...

Glad to hear Nick that you got Orbitron working well for tracking, Orbitron is a satellite tracking program for Microsoft Windows to track the shuttle, ISS and other satellites. It is free and you can find out more about it here at this link below!

Back with KU from the ISS:

Is this not a bit unusual though - not showing any of the inside of the ISS after docking?

It is mildly interesting, now that the docking port for the shuttle has moved further away from the truss, we get a different angle on the shuttle from this camera located there.

It is, but has probably something to do with the PMC.

Probably, I wonder why though. If it's something more serious that just space sickness they probably wouldn't have opened the hatches.
Trying to keep on topic though, we are getting some nice shots of the OMS pod blanket. -

"Awaiting replay of hatch opening. Can not show at this time due to operational constraints." - PAO
Hmm... -

they said ealier on that live pics would be a prob,i think due to the orientation of the whole stack,
but ... MAAAN.. look at that view

According to PAO (or CAPCOM, not sure which) they were supposed to have Ku back 11 minutes or so after hatch open. This is a different issue, I don't want to draw any conclusions based on pure speculation, but if I were asked to guess I would say related to the PMCs that were going on earlier. I'm sure Chris has some information, but is not at liberty to say.

Didn't they do a 'pull test' on all the blankets? Perhaps they pulled a little too hard...

Yes I am afraid the loss of KU before and during hatch opening was just bad timing as the complex was moving through the ZOE at that time and when KU through TDRS-West resumed, the ISS/shuttle crew were & are in the middle of the usual safety briefing which would be boring for us to watch (the crew is huddled together for the briefing), so that is why we have an 'Outside' KU shot right now

I can tell you that L2 has no information at this point regarding these operational constraints. However we're enjoying some lovely snapshots that were taken earlier today

Wouldn't be boring for me! I know that!
