Mike Fossum at the port SARJ to remove cover #2
He will take a sample of some previously observer particulate matter on the "tang" using tape. If time he will take photos of the rings, but will not disturb the previously seen grease line.

The "tang" is a thin rib that is part of the large SARJ rings, and provides the mecanical support to the truss structures. The area of interest is adjacent to the upper canted bearing surface.

Ron Garan has completed connecting all the electrical cables to the new NTA.

Ron has finished at the NTA. Glove check was good, about to egress the APFR.

Edit: correction - he has not finished quite yet (but has finished with the arm) - has some fluid quick disconnects to mate and thermal covers to install.
