Rob Navias (PAO) confirms that the replacement pump appears to be working fine in the toilet. The crew may begin using the toilet normally, but should continue to monitor it.

Karen could turn your head 360 if she didn't like the look you were giving her.

My betting is she's gonna be the first woman on the moon. And while there, she'll drop-kick a Jacky Gleason doll halfway to the horizon.

Meanwhile in Harmony...

Part one of the vestibule outfitting included removal of thermal covers and installation of data cables and power jumpers. Also the installation of a low pressure nitrogen jumper for activation of the first power channel (channel B) which is coming up soon.

CDRA work ongoing...

In the background, preparations for tomorrow's EVA are continuing in Unity.

A flash from L2. NASA are checking into a recontact incident between Kibo and Discovery's payload bay during unberting. Will update when we know more.

There was quite a lot of side to side movement on the JPM when the payload berthing clamps opened yesterday. Don't recall ever seeing so much with other modules.

All's quiet on-board. Airlock activities are ongoing, CDRA activities I believe are winding down, if not over, toilet activities are completed, and vestibule outfitting is continuing. Not a whole lot of comm traffic.

Work continuing on the Kibo vestibule. Work is ramping up for Channel B activation.

Review doesn't look like any contact. It may have been. The arm has the ability to correct its position and its possible to try to compensate at the same time the arm is.

I'd love to know what constitutes a Funny, what constitutes an IPR, and what constitutes an IFR. I know there was the question in L2 the other day but I wasn't really any the wiser. What kinds of "fault" log types are there? Maybe you could do a little write up?

Those are all KSC items. MCC-H uses an Anomaly Report (AR) if something operationally occurs that was not expected or a procedureal error. The Mission Evaluation Room (MER) can open an Item For Investigation (IFI) either on its own from a Anomaly Resolution Team (ART) invistigation, a Failure Investigation Team (FIT) or from an MOD AR. The only funny we have is on the front page of the execute package.

Thanks! Even if there was contact, we wouldn't be talking about the possibility of slight damage to either the guides or Kibo, at that rate of movement, would we?

Heads up for the top of the hour, for a Mars Phoenix briefing, which will be available on the media channel (public channel will remain with ISS/124).

In fact, you can have both going if you click the link above, select media channel and play it in the page's player, and click http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx and have the ISS on an open player

Columbus has lost command. Need to powerdown payload

*did not sound like a huge deal but who knows

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #79 on:** 06/04/2008 06:19 pm »

Good spot Andy, heard that too. Called for an available ISS crew member to carry out proceedure to powerdown its payload.
