18 minutes to sunrise, KU still through Z, may have KU through Z for the next 10 minutes or so before we move more line in sight with TDRS-West, there may be a break in KU sometime during the next 20 minutes or so.

Missed the RPM

Was it during orbital daylight?

Docking likely to occur right after sunrise.

Yes, it was, but there was no KU available at the time. Still waiting to hear if it will be downlinked or not.

Yes it was in daylight, but there was no Live KU video from the ISS for it, only S-band video stills from Discovery so you didn't miss much

We may get a down linked video of the RPM from the ISS later today.

It was out of KU band coverage.

100 ft - closing at 0.14ft/sec

12 minutes to sunrise, MCC-H estimates that Discovery will dock 2 minutes after sunrise, so in about 14 minutes from now, this is a best guess.

65 feet from docking.

A reminder that as the shuttle and ISS move southeast of Australia and New Zealand, we may lose KU coverage in the next 10 - 15 minutes as we move away from direct line of sight of the TDRS. 7 minutes to sunrise, now moving over Sydney Australia.
