Peggy is going to make an inspection tool for the handrail that could be contributing to the damaged EVA gloves (PAO).

He showed the inspection tool for the handrail, but I was to late to take a snapshot (I was playing NTV in windows media player)
It looked like a stick with a sock around it, they probably going to look what damage the handrail will do to the sock.
EDIT: found an image of it in the executive package

Oberpfaffenhofen is proud to say they solved the problems overnight.
In a couple of minutes they are going to activate the cameras in Columbus!
Executive package has much more info about the Swatch.
It's a stick with an overglove around it and sock in it.

Node 2. You can see PMA-2 in the background.

Node 2 - you can see PMA to the shuttle at the end. Columbus is on the starboard (right) at the end.

so great to finally see columbus's juices flowin and everything starting to take shape. is that the biolab rack to the rite of leo? it really looks quite spacy inside the module. just think what the Kibo PM is going to look like once its on orbit.. they could probably play orbital football in that module lol..

Just FYI, today's execute package is here:
http://www.nasa.gov/pdf/211961main_fd08_exec_pkg.pdfInteresting notes:
-Today is Dump Day. There are several waste dumps scheduled.
-After doing the assigned tasks of tomorrow's EVA, they're going to perform a detailed inspection of the impact in Quest's handrail, as chiki_lwai has reported a few posts above. The thing wrapped around the stick is not a sock
, it's a glove, to see how the different materials on it behave when touching the impact.
-Also a SARJ inspection, basically to look under the remaining covers yet to be removed, and inspect a divot/debris buildup (they still don't know which one)
I attach the detailed timelines and some images of the SARJ inspection procedures.

The sock is inside the glove to give it more volume
