Aki being serious and asking for confirmation... I guess a professional sounding "GO for installation" fits better in a promotional video

SSV as Kibo gets closer to its port on Harmony:

Is it just me or the higher resolution Yahoo feed is not working?
This is the one I regularly use.

Right now I'm following the one from CNN which has a little bit higher resolution than the normal NASA transmission but the aspect ratio is a bit messed up:

6 minutes to the ZOE, 18 minutes to sunrise, as we move towards the ZOE, we are losing the KU feed through East and receiving S-band video stills, the ZOE pass will be 9 minutes long.

Kibo just a couple of feet out.

Already noted. The new forum's thread view counter is messed up. It's actually over 41,000 views for this thread so far.

O/T - counter is prob counting unique users to thread rather than actual counted hits.

The live coverage on here is truly great - Gold medals to all the team.

Complex is passing over Spain, 20 minutes to the ZOE, 33 minutes to sunrise.

Could someone please tell me what ZOE means in this context...?

Thanks!

Kind regards

Its the area where the 2 main TDRS can see the complex. Fortunately a 3rd one fills in most of the time when its available

nathan.moeller · « **Reply #410 on:** 06/03/2008 10:39 pm »

Contact and capture! Kibo is now part of ISS!!

sts1canada · « **Reply #411 on:** 06/03/2008 10:39 pm »

I think the current view is from the payload bay cameras with shuttle KU through TDRS Z, will be nice to keep it if I am right. Complex is passing over Madagascar.

Go for first stage capture!

Japan has waited a long time to see this happen, congratulations!

Now entering a 9 minute ZOE, with trusty TDRS-Z available for KU coverage during this EVA, 11 minutes to sunrise.

Final installation coming up.

In the last screen cap one of the petals in the unoccupied CBM seems to be open, does anybody have any idea why?

sts1canada · « **Reply #417 on:** 06/03/2008 10:47 pm »

Meanwhile the EVAers are cleaning up their tools and tethers and preparing to move some of their tool bags into the airlock. 4 minutes to West coverage (the CAPCOM just confirmed my estimate, cool

).

The petals were opened during this EVA for the EVA crew to inspect the latches, this CBM will be needed during the next ISS STS mission, STS-126 to mate a MPLM there.

Crew ingressing the airlock!
