We are still under the coverage area of TDRS-East, but the Ku antenna on the ISS is blocked from a direct line of sight to East, therefore no KU from the ISS right now. We have S-band stills from Discovery however. 21 minutes to the ZOE, 20 minutes to sunset.

Hopefully we get them soon, the STS-124 gallery doesn't even have launch day photos up yet....

The PAO says we are out of range of the KU coverage, that is not correct, we have a blockage to the East TDRS preventing KU, just a nit-pick with the coverage.

The shuttle & ISS is moving towards the coast of Portugal and Spain in about 5 minutes moving northeast, 15 minutes to the ZOE, 16 minutes to sunset.

The shuttle / ISS is passing over France, I do not expect any KU for the next 12 minutes of this East pass until the ZOE, we may get some KU through TDRS-Z as the Station KU will be oriented better towards it, we shall see, 12 minutes to sunset.
