Looks like some dings on the RCC panel, but not too sure. Doesn't look serious.

Port scan is coming to an end, so it looks.

Going to try to get a panoramic of the port side later tonight for posting tomorrow, not sure how that will work out though.

Yep, that's what it looks like.

Is it just me, or does that look like scrapes?

Remember we are seeing this via a different camera than usual, so direct comparissons are somewhat more difficult.

True, but that doesn't look normal either way you look at it..

Caught my attention, but we seem to see such things usually. Could be just usual shading/distortions. Anything else, and we'll get to know.

True - those images weren't up when I posted.

ETA: Last time we had something like that, it turned out to be bird poo.

The SRMS is in its pre-cradle position. The partial surveys are complete. A more focused inspection will (most likely) be on FD-7 once the crew gets their hands back on the OBSS.

Video downlink coming up of crew activities after MECO.

Those appear to have been on the shuttle during launch as well in this picture:

Here's the isolated area in question attached.

Here are a couple of shots from the post MECO crew activity downlink that I didn't see on here earlier:

Edit: I figure the Mike Fossum shot going out of the middeck would be more interesting than seeing a blurry shot of the cockpit displays.

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

Commander Mark Kelly was playing with scissors, getting them out to open his food..

Ron: Don't play with scissors, Mark.
Akih(?): Yeah, you can poke someone's eye out, you know!
