All they need now is an orbital laundry where they can drop off this bag.

You mean like a payload airlock?

Thermal covers now in the bag:

Gloves are doing great, seems like they have figured out this issue.

A great shot from Mike Fossum's WVS, they're inspecting something (not too sure what, missed that part):

Fossum and Garan have installed thermal insulation in Kibo's CBM where JPL will be installed tomorrow. Work now moving to install some trunnion covers on Kibo.

Station/Shuttle complex now passing over the Panama Canal.

The astronauts report it is kind of cloudy.

Mike on trunnion covers "one down and two to go for me"

Both astronauts still working on the trunnion covers to go on Kibo (having problems with the 1.2mbps feed..), before moving over to work on the NTA for installation on EVA-3 (Sunday).

A look inside as Karen Nyberg and Akih Hoshide are working on some JPM activities.

Astronauts now carrying some baggage!

I haven't been able to ask this until now do to internet issues, but what was the "Fossum Gap" the were talking about at the very beginning of the EVA?

Ford Mustang · « **Reply #113 on:** 06/05/2008 06:21 pm »

Shuttle/Station complex heading into orbital night. _{I had to forcibly restart.. Anyone else having problems with audio on the 1.2mbps feed?} Final steps of installing the trunnion covers are ongoing. The astronauts will then work on getting the NTA (Nitrogen Tank Assembly) ready for its work on EVA-3 (Sunday)

Fossum and Garan are running a little ahead of the timeline (about 20 minutes). Two cameras have been installed at the forward end of Kibo, thermal covers removed and stowed, and the CBM cover and debris shields have been removed.

Fossum and Garan are now moving to the Nitrogen Tank Assembly.

All racks that were in the JLP have been removed and installed in JPM. That allows the crew inside the International Space Station to close the hatch in preparation for relocation.

I believe this is Mike Fossum, temporarily stowing the crew bag:

Nice shot of the radiators.

"Everything looking familiar?"

"Oh yeah!"
