Great work sts1canada. I would post pictures, but my connection is slow and even if it wasn't I don't know how to do it. So please keep the updates coming.

Handover to East has occurred with KU, complex passing by Maine and the Canadian Maritime provinces right now, Rex is making his way down to the payload bay to provide some GCA to Stan as he places the FCMG on the ICC-L, Stan cannot see much with the FCMG in front of him so he needs the extra eyes to place it down. The EVA is almost back on the normal time line again from an earlier 30 - 40 minute time line setback earlier.

I glad everyone is enjoying my coverage today, I won't be able to do this for STS-123 as its EVAs are time lined for almost the middle of the night my time (Eastern time) unless the launch slips a few weeks , but I don't want that slip to happen.

Rex is now at the ICC-L carrier while Stan is about 10 feet or so above providing SSRMS CGA to Leo controlling the SSRMS.
9 minutes to sunset, 17 minutes to the ZOE, complex approaching coast of northern France, 210 miles high.

8 minutes to the ZOE, have no KU and comm dropouts due to ISS blockage to TDRS-East, this is normal as we approach the ZOE, the FCMG is rocking as they try to place it on the ICC-L, the aft end comes up as the front end goes down.

We appear to have KU through TDRS-Z during this ZOE pass which is 5 minutes away, 29 minutes to sunrise.

Thanks for the screen shots, VB94 and Bish48, great job!

Complex passing over Saudi Arabia, 3 minutes to a 15 minute ZOE pass, expect some mix of KU and S-band video stills during the next 30 minutes or so during this pass.
