We also have to add to that list the toilet pump R&R! Today's the big smiles day for the ISS crew

You're right

Big day for the crew and for the media

PS: Any idea where to add it in the timeline?

I watched the Flight Director Update this morning and she only referenced it as "this evening, we'll see how it goes". Probably after JPM ingress? No idea, I suppose we'll have to wait for the Execute Package to know for sure.

That's on the Russian side, though. At least we'll get to see how the Russian officials handle the many mainstream Western media demands for updates and quotes during and after the toilet fix schedule.

... which has just been published .

If I'm reading the timeline right, Kononenko's doing the plumbing work from 13.30 to 15.30 GMT.

PAO just confirmed that time.

Lots and lots of channels, lines and cables need to be installed in the vestibule, PAO just named them and they're like 20!

Beggining in about an hour.

Looking down on ISS and Discovery!

Worth mentioning, but by about FD5, I normally start summarizing something called the MER "Funny" List, which is the current issues in work/solved with the orbiter.

I can't for this mission so far, cause there's nothing on the list!

Bar a few ascent items and a couple of things with docking, there's absolutely nothing causing a problem and no items in work. Amazing.

Don't jinx it.

At least we can really learn a lot more about using the toilet in space...
