• The FCMG is now pushed down into its carrier location on the ICC-L where SOLAR sat earlier. Now it is being locked in place and they are covering it with its MLI blanket to keep it 'warm' again.
  
  PET 4:20, 23 minutes to sunrise.

• The EVAers are taking a break after the thermal cover is installed on the CMG, now have a PET 4:28, they are about 15 minutes ahead of the time line now. Next task will be to install the EUTEF payload on the forward side of the zenith EPF on Columbus.
  
  3 minutes to West comm coverage, 13 minutes to sunrise, as the complex moves over the South Indian Ocean.
  
  Time for a quick lunch break for me ;
  
  I will be back in 20 minutes for more updates, by then we should have KU on TDRS-West in daylight.

• Kylie Clem is our Orbit 2 PAO this afternoon (Eastern time) taking over from John Ira Petty, the Orbit 1 PAO today.
  
  Complex is 208 miles over the Pacific Ocean, the EUTEF payload is about to be lifted by Stan on the end of the SSRMS out of the payload bay, Rex is providing some CGA for clearances.
