Where, on that image, would they appear? The image I posted was the under-side of the port wing..

I added an attachment to my previous post and circled the area. Looks like the same pattern of 4 marks.

Is it me or is there a little fraying on the right OMS pod?

Hm, looks like the blanket is pulled up a bit, not big though:

Looks like blanket damage on the Starboard OMS pod...

Yeah, didn't look too bad from that viewpoint at least, but sure was protruding blanket.

The RPM will give leads to lots of information tomorrow..

The last shot before they lost KU on the replay:

A little less than 5 and a half hours for the NC-3 burn.

No, just cosmetic (as I would put it), and not in a critical area I think...just pointing it out.

Payload Bay survey is complete, as well as installation of the centerline camera. Running pretty far ahead of schedule up there.

I know they put in place a new bonding method at the blanket/tile interface points (full adhesion), but this is the blanket-blanket interface.
Weren't the other problems at those interfaces?? I know one was (not sure which).

Kibo waiting for its big day:

The screen says that there is no telemetry, yet I know the shuttle is near TDRS 3.

They usually never have PAO events on FD 2 if my memory serves.

There's more free time today, as the inspections only took 2.5 hours, rather than the 5 hours regular.

Sweet images coming from the RMS now.

Ronsmytheiii · « **Reply #117 on:** 06/01/2008 07:30 pm »

amazing video of the leading edge

If I understood that correctly, the SRMS is positioned to watch the waste water dump. And there's some discussion about whether to move that activity forward or not.

jmjawors · « **Reply #119 on:** 06/01/2008 07:38 pm »

Heh. The announcer can't pronounce "Minneapolis."

Setting up for the PAO event now. Coming up in 10 minutes.
