Hoshide is moving the OBSS away from the S1 truss, as Ron Garan is working on stowing the KAA.

As expected we have a few S-band video stills, 2 minutes to the ZOE, might handover to Z for some KU coverage during this 10 minute ZOE pass.

Crew started about 50 minutes late, but are about 30 minutes up on the timeline.  They are, effectively, 20 minutes late on the clock, however.  This is not a problem.

Spacewalk PET 1:23, now 20 minutes behind the EVA timeline for today after starting the EVA 50 minutes late today. Aki is moving the SSRMS with the OBSS over to the reach of the RMS that Karen will operate.

7 minutes to West handover, 32 minutes to sunrise.

We may get some sporadic KU through Z for the next 10 minutes, the next good KU pass should be through TDRS West in about 25 minutes or so.

The RMS is about to grapple the end of the OBSS while it is still held in the middle by the SSRMS. The RMS will provide power to heaters on the OBSS to keep it warm, KU is now through Z through shuttle KU for a short period of time.

23 minutes to sunrise.

Complex is now passing over Singapore, will pass over west central Australia in about 10 minutes, loss of shuttle KU through Z as expected just as Karen was moving in for grapple of the OBSS with the RMS.

The RMS has grappled the OBSS.  Hoshide working on ungrappling the OBSS with Canada Arm 2 (SSRMS).

Expect KU through West on ISS KU to resume in about 20 minutes or so (may be earlier or later). Sunrise in 18 minutes, RMS has grappled the OBSS at 2:01 PM EDT, SSRMS now to ungrapple the OBSS.

Do we have Ku through Z from station now, or is it s-band?

Glove checks in work.  Ron Garan's gloves look good, no changes from the start.

I hope Ford I am not stepping over your messages and repeating what you are saying too much, that's not my intention, I am tracking three things at once here (NASA TV, tracking, and this forum) and I am not able to refresh this board too often. I hope you don't mind too much.

KU through either Z or West (not sure which one at this time) through ISS KU, shuttle KU is not available for a while.

13 minutes to sunrise.
