Anybody know the specs of the Kibo cameras? I'm hoping they will be hi-def....

These are not HDTV camera. Development was a long time ago.

The connector for the camera data and power supply has been mated.

Ron thinking about wrapping the trunnion keel now with the thermal cover, instead of waiting, given he's in a good position.

Good view of Fossum installing the second camera.

I've got to leave now, should study something before it's dinner time

Anyone willing to take over, please do!

Thanks very much for your assistance

I'm back to full speed, after quick trip to the shops for a new router. Salesman helped with prompt service, noting "broadband issues? But it's EVA-2! Damn, let's get you sorted immediately!" *

*Some of that story may have been frabricated

Glove checks note gloves are in a pristine condition.

Heard PAO mention the mods to the EMU gloves. Background here:

Oh my! 210 miles over the Atlantic.

Thermal Blanket about to come off the RMS EE.

I miss the "old days" when PAO usually went quiet when there was comms on the channel in the middle of his briefing. Now a lot of the EVA comms get drowned out by info that isn't critical at the moment.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #76 on:** 06/05/2008 04:48 pm »

Mike asking about a long peice of wire, thinks it's associated with the cover. MCC-H don't sound too bothered.

Cover's off the EE.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #77 on:** 06/05/2008 04:50 pm »

40 minutes is the timeline for all the covers to come off.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #78 on:** 06/05/2008 04:52 pm »

And another cover is removed. 1hr 46 minutes into EVA-2's planned 6hrs 30 minute spacewalk.
