The SSRMS is now firmly grappled onto the JEM, the base of it (SSRMS) is on Node 2 and the JEM will be lifted out of the bay when this EVA starts to conclude.

Now in East coverage, 15 minutes to sunset, 29 minutes to the ZOE, the complex is passing by Nova Scotia, Canada.

Go for JPM power. (I suppose that means powering up by means of the PDGF)

And they've done the traditional un-berthing camera setup:

Sounds like meanwhile on the SARJ they're reinstalling the TBA.

That's what it was

Ron Garan about to start installing the Trundle Bearing Assembly:

We have shuttle KU only at this time, no station KU is available to view the work of the EVAers as there is some ISS blockage to TDRS East, now that I type that, the Station KU has resumed again

Yes it is now getting power from the SSRMS for its heaters after its LTA cables were removed earlier in this EVA.

Done with the PGT, all TBAs installed in the SARJ... although how long they're going to last in that configuration is debatable, given the news with the Datum.

Ford Mustang · « **Reply #295 on:** 06/03/2008 08:43 pm »

Sunset approaching, as Richard has said above. About an hour of work left on the SARJ.

Orbiting complex over France and minutes before orbital sunset.

Payload Retention Latches are now being opened to unberth Kibo.

Hm... false alarm.

Looks like the Payload Retention Latches are open.

It's oscillating a little bit!
