Rear of the JEM PCBM is clear of any problems after the covers are removed.

A reminder that Ron's helmetcam is 18, Mike's is 16, current view is Ron around the ODS and PMA, he is moving up the PMA 2 to gather tools to inspect and clean the S3/S4 truss area I believe while Mike works on the launch locks on the JEM windows, PET now 2:49

10 minutes to the ZOE, 4 minutes to sunset.

Three bolts to be released on the launch locks. Looks like they are coming loose very easily.

And the window is open. This window will be used for observation of the JEM RMS.

Another window to be opened.

The 13 min. ZOE pass is getting closer, in about 3 minutes, may get some KU through Z during this pass.

Orbit 1 handover with Orbit 2 at MCC.

Loss of KU through East now as expected, we are in a 13 minute ZOE now, may get a KU pass through Z (not sure about this), PET is 3:02.

Sunrise is in 27 minutes.

Past the three hour mark.

sts1canada · « **Reply #235 on:** 06/03/2008 07:28 pm »

KU is now through Z (or I should say was!

KU through the ZOE is always tricky to predict.

Moving back into West coverage in 8 minutes with KU resuming after that.

METOX is the short straw on EVA timeline up to 6hrs 30. But they are one hour ahead on the tasks.

The limiting consumable for this EVA is Mike's METOX, (carbon dioxide scrubbing), 6:30 PET maximum, Go to proceed with the SARJ cleanup.

2 minutes to West coverage, this does not mean KU yet, a good KU should reappear in about 20 minutes or so on West , earlier if the complex orientation is right.

We have some shuttle KU through Z right now for a 'little' while.
