Noticing removed pankakes, although the wipe cloth they're using for cleaning the grease doesn't allow for particles to be seen (presumably very fine)

Kibo maneuvering is interesting, but I wish they'd show some of the cleaning...

Great shot of the full JEM-PM.

The surface looks much more cleaner after the grease removal, without pankakes and much smoother.

I think we have no KU through the ISS due to blockage to the Z satellite, the shuttle KU has a better 'lock' on it, therefore we have shuttle views. In about 15 minutes or so, the ISS KU line of sight will be better for ISS KU.

Nice views of the JPM from the elbow RMS camera again, 3 minutes to sunrise, complex is passing due south of Australia.

We have ISS KU through West now, now we can see what the EVA crew is doing on the SARJ launch restraints. Sunrise now, PET is now 5:00. 45 minutes to East handover, 56 minutes to the next sunset.

As you wish

That could easily make a free-flyer lab!

I'm going to be offline for a half hour, great coverage everyone, great team effort here at NSF!

Here is my latest update for a while, 51 minutes to sunset, 40 minutes to East handover, 73 minutes to the next ZOE, complex is passing south of New Zealand in a minute.
