Starting up JPM MTL Pumps

Severe thunderstorms are passing through Greenbelt, Md. where the Goddard uplink for NASA TV is located. Hence the loss of signal for those watching on satellite.

Which then affects just about everyone on cable too, because your cable gets it from NASA's satellite feed. I'm watching the depressed carrier right now ... should clear up within 5-10 minutes. Internet should be unaffected.

If the streaming video is fed from the satellite then that will be affected also. It should clear up shortly.

Thanks for the wonderful coverage, once again!

Processors coming online in JPM, pumping data in.

Some more pics of the valve they've been working on. They held the vidoe cam on it while cycling it. probably 1-1.5 seconds for full translation.

Discussing EV2's EMU sun visor. There's a possibility that the helmet may be switched out for tomorrow's EVA.

A fairly long Q&A over that too..

Ron's opting not to swap the helmets. More effort than it's worth.

JPM Systems are continuing to be activated to hopefully ingress on-time in about half an hour. Lights are expected soon.

Life_Support_32 · « **Reply #137 on:** 06/04/2008 08:35 pm »

Lights are on in JPM.

Systems are in a good config for ingress, just waiting for atmosphere scrubbing time, which will be up for on-time ingress in about 10 minutes

Cryo Config again
