Leak checks on the NTA are good, they are pressing on with fluid line disconnects, all pre-work for Sunday.

Japanese Flight Controllers report that the television cameras on the forward end of Kibo are good. Everything appears to be in good shape.

Anyone catch the vibration in the above viewpoint? I assume it was the camera.

Ford Mustang · « **Reply #130 on:** 06/05/2008 07:10 pm »

NTA Venting complete. Go for NTA electrical connector de-mate.

@Chris - I believe that was the camera.

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.

So there's no way of knowing? (no sensors etc?) It just isn't something where any contact was enough to be visible?

Okay I'm finally back to EVA #2 coverage here on NSF, great job on coverage so far today everyone

Discovery is about to cross the equator for orbit 79, 14 minutes to East handover, 32 minutes to sunset on this pass.

Talking about this grounding strap, it might be in a bad position.

sts1canada · « **Reply #139 on:** 06/05/2008 07:30 pm »

Current PET is 4:25

The complex will pass southeast of Mexico City in about 3 minutes, 10 minutes to East handover, 40 minutes to the ZOE.
