LIVE: STS-122 Flight Day 7 - EVA-2

• Rex has the old NTA tank in his hands while on the end of the SSRMS and he is asking Hans to help him release it from the CETA cart. The old NTA is now released from the CETA cart, and now Rex with the old NTA in hand will be slowly moved away from the truss and back down towards the payload bay to store it on the underside of the ICC-L carrier (where the new NTA tank was previously stored).
  
  12 minutes left in this ZOE pass, have KU through TDRS-Z right now, spacewalk PET almost at 4:00 right now, 18 minutes to sunrise, complex is passing over the Indian Ocean right now.

• I will back off my updates now as there is a lack of screen shots for this portion of the EVA, and I don't want to make too many text entries in this thread, I will update the EVA comm coverage as needed.

  For those of us without access to streaming video, text is just fine.  Please don't feel like you need pretty pictures to keep this stuff interesting.

• Rex with the old NTA in hand on the SSRMS is now halfway between the ISS truss and the payload bay as he is lowered to store the NTA. 2 minutes to handover to West, 10 minutes to sunrise.

• I was just checking the ESA web site and came across a great picture of columbus being moved from Atlantis.

  Thanks Stroker
  
  I just don't want to irritate other readers of this thread with what they may consider "boring" EVA updates, ie. times and such etc.
  
  I will continue to update as needed while this EVA continues

• Still have KU through TDRS-Z through the shuttle, expect to lose it soon, 3 minutes to sunrise, Rex is now over the ICC-L to store the old NTA, we may get ISS KU through TDRS-West soon so we can see the helmet cam views from Rex's EMU. Spacewalk PET 4:10 approx.

• MCC-H confirms that the new NTA installed during this EVA in the P1 truss is powered on and activated correctly. Great job everyone on EVA.
  
  Rex is now lining up the old NTA into the rail guides on the ICC-L carrier, sunrise has occurred, we have ISS KU right now through West providing some helmet cam shots from Rex's EMU.

  From the execute package, it looks like biolab and the European Drawer Rack are moving into their permanent positions today and based on the knee brace transfer (item # 713) it sounds like the EPM got moved yesterday.
  
  Anyone know if the FSL and ETC need to be moved as well or if they were launched in their permanent locations?

  
  
  FSL and ETC were launched in their permanent locations.
  
  Check these picture.

  FSL: 3rd picture most right rack.
  ETC: 4th picture most right rack.
