"Columbus has started its trip to the New World"
I think it was Dan Tani that said that?

Go for Columbus unbearth (didn't we already have that?)
Well they disconnected the cables providing power to Columbus (so that would be the first 'unberth') while it was in the payload bay, this is the actual physical unberth!

EVA crew will go back to the airlock now to stow some tools and do a quick O2 repress/fill of their suits and wait for further words on the NTA install prep. activities from MCC-H on whether to do those preps on this EVA.
The PRLAs are unlatched, (payload bay latches are open) and Columbus is starting to rise out of the payload bay.
35 minutes to sunset, complex 210 miles over the south Pacific Ocean.

Is this the 1st time they do an O2 recharge? I never heard of it before.

"Atlantis is very slowly being moved out of the Shuttle bay"
Looks like Columbus has a new name :laugh:

Great shots of the module being lifted from the payload bay. Over halfway out already.

Oh heck - stop! - Atlantis is being lifted out of it's own payload bay lol (the PAO got mixed up!)

That thing is really moving! It's pretty much clear of the payload bay walls. Brian - there's your money shot for the STS-122 review video

Now completely clear of the payload bay. OT - but the reflection of the SSRMS in Columbus skin is a pretty interesting aspect of this shot.

This is not a common occurrence , but it is a sign that this EVA will run over the expected 6 hour 30 minute timeline expected pre-EVA, while it is slightly unusual, it is nothing to be concerned about.

26 minutes to sunset, 53 minutes to the ZOE, 17 minutes of good KU left on West, not sure about East KU coverage this pass.

I only would like to know if it's the 1st time.
I was not even aware of the capability to do so.
Is this unique to Quest or was it possible also in the pre-ISS Shuttle years?

Atlantis has started orbit 65 of the STS-122 mission, it will pass over Baja California and Mexico in about 8 minutes.

25 years after Spacelab-1; ESA has gone a long way; next stop

It happened on STS-116 too, if I recall correctly. However it wasn't said directly by the CapCom, instead it was just hinted in a way that made, in this case, Christer Fuglesang, stay behind and get a recharge, as he was in the vicinity of the airlock. He wrote about it in his book that was released last year. Apparently they didn't want it released to the whole world that he used too much O2 as some considered it to be part of his medical status.

Looks like we're out of KU for now.
