What are we looking at here? Is this the end effector?

The SRMS has been fully checked out.

The partial scans will take a total of 2 hours and 30 minutes, or thereabout, today.

Just to refresh my memory, how long does a normal OBSS scan take on flight day 2? I am pretty sure that the RMS scan will be shorter.

I believe a normal OBSS scan takes about 5 hours to complete, as it is more focused with the LDRI.

RMS scans to start shortly.

Yes.

Ok then... why? I don't recall this view being acquired in previous missions. Is there a problem, or have I just never noticed this before?

It's just looking into a payload bay camera. Nothing is wrong. We normally don't see this shot because the End Effector would already be grappled to the OBSS at this time.

Refer back to the first page of this thread.

Wakeup music was "Your Wildest Dreams" by the Moody Blues

The RMS is poised for the start of inspections. We'll get some great shots from this, guys!

Still SSV as there is no KU at the moment, but this is one heck of a shot!

Here come the money shots!

If they could only provide these color shots with the OBSS, it would be heaven.
