9 minutes to the ZOE, KU may be very sporadic for a while until the next West pass in about 30 minutes, complex passing southeast of Saudi Arabia, sunrise in 29 minutes, receiving S-band video through East.

4 minutes to the ZOE, this is a 14 minute ZOE pass.

This KU feed is courtesy of Shuttle KU through TDRS-Z, as we enter the ZOE right now, 21 minutes to sunrise.

Motion has seemed to stop for the time being:

Progressing with the cleaning techniques, already tried the "dry" scraper, now going for the grease.

ANyone know how long till berthing? Need to know when to get dinner

First post:

"- Installation of JEM-PM on port side of Harmony (6:07pm)" (EDT).

They are about 30 minutes back on the timeline, unless they've caught back up.. Not sure if that will push this back 30 minutes, but at least an hour.

No earlier than an hour from now, they still have to move the JPM over the sill of the bay and then rotate it into position against the Node 2 Starboard CBM. It was time lined for a hour and a half or so preflight from in bay grapple to berthing.

We're halfway this this ZOE pass, 5 minutes to West coverage, 13 minutes to sunrise, this is a GOOD Z KU pass through the shuttle KU.

Commenting differences in grease types now, but whichever they use (the brown or the white), the particles are not big enough to stick out of it.

Did anyone catch what the 'unexplainable behaviour' of the debris they were seeing was?

Never fails to amaze me how large Kibo is.

PET time is approaching 4:50, 10 minutes to sunrise, still on Z KU. Nice view of JPM from the SRMS elbow cam

Still rough with the latest grease scraping (the white I think), the previous scraping was more efficient for removing debris.

Not sure about getting more cleanup done with or without grease, but it appears grease does help to catch particulates over the edges.
