LIVE: STS-124 Flight Day 6 - EVA 2 / JEM-PM outfitting

Mission status briefing at the top of the hour announced by PAO

Edit: Dang, beat me to it!

On the daily planning conference (DPC) with Greg Chamitoff and Garret Reismann, reported autofocus failed with digital camera #1012 - MCC confirmed will be returned to ground.

No plans to go back to the port SARJ. It observed to be similar as last time. Trundle bearing probably leaked some grease.

OBSS Laser Camera System (LCS) issue won't be a problem for Late Inspection scans.

Booster videos have arrived and being evaluated, to be played on NASA TV sometime before 7am Central.

Another potential new thread I guess, but if the TBA's are not supposed to leak grease, could that be a precursor to a failure of the port SARJ? Doubtful if connected, but a lack of lubricating grease in a bearing could have caused a TBA to fail in the starboard SARJ. That would allow the bearing to 'index' and then perhaps stop altogether causing the damage to the starboard race ring.

About to get more downlinked "home video."  Sounds like we'll get audio this time. 

It's dinner time, and a gift from the shuttle crew to the station crew.

[jmjawors]

I didn't catch the gift.  I think it was just hot sauce, or something.

Also, Buzz Lightyear overlooking the EVA.

[jmjawors]

"Welcome to dinner!"

(hard to see, but there's Buzz Lightyear again)

[jmjawors]

I'm sure this will all make the FD highlights video package.

Buzz is ringing the ship's bell.

[juleshow]

Buzz Lightyear does the ISS. LMAO

Someone up there was having some fun... my kids and I are hysterical.

[jmjawors]

Heading into Harmony.

"To, uh... Harmony and beyond!"

[jmjawors]

I think that may be the end of the video.  Sure hope they show this again later on.  Based upon what we saw last night with the quick turnaround of downlinked video, I think there's a good chance we will.

for some reason the NASA feed seems to whiten stuff out, so I retouched some images

[Ronsmytheiii]

I will End it with a great shot of the complex over Australia touched up in picasa.

hehe, appetizing appetizer, sounds yummy.

If you are using vlc, you can turn on 'extended gui' and adjust the stream in realtime. Turning up the contrast a bit does seem to help. The video doesn't look as over exposed.

Very great tip.  Thank you for posting that!

No, I saw it, it were two NASA's T-shirts for Sergey and Oleg.
