Did anyone catch the details of this WETA get ahead? I know there is a camera group R&R planned for hte next 2 EVA's, but I think this is different no?

The camera views from the payload bay are showing the clearances of the trunnion pins as the JEM is about to be slowly moved out of the bay, 16 minutes to sunrise,
now in West coverage area, shuttle KU still through Z.

10 minutes to sunrise, the complex is passing southeast off the western coast of Australia.

The current camera view is from the RMS elbow cam that was harnessed until this EVA.

I believe that they are referring to a get ahead described on page FS 7-132 in the EVA checklist document.

Locks being removed.

If you're talking about the locks that hold the JPM to Discovery's PLB, they're called payload retention latches.

Complex is passing over the South Pacific Ocean moving northeast, 30 minutes to East handover, 46 minutes to sunset, should have a great KU pass for this SARJ EVA tasks.

Probably in the next 20 - 25 minutes or so.

I've noticed they've changed the way of calling the PGT settings: they said "counterclockwise" before (which was pretty inconvenient for repeating for too long) and now they say "anti".

sts1canada · « **Reply #258 on:** 06/03/2008 08:08 pm »

PET 3:45 coming up, EVA is not expected to surpass 6:30 PET due to Mike's METOX supplies.
