I missed the call on the cover of the port SARJ cover bolt problem. Did he get all 6 bolts in, or did he leave the last one loose?

At the Air Lock toolbox. Great article, Chris.

I didn't really hear the final call but I think MCC may have been prepared to leave one loose at one point.

Astronauts are now on the Destiny module by the S0 truss.

Okay thanks. I know Mike said he was fine with the config & alignment of the cover but not sure if the final bolt could go in.

Shuttle/Station complex now passing over the Equator. Mike Fossum making his way to the forward end of the JPM to remove thermal insulation to the wrist and elbow camera on the J-RMS.

Sweet image of one of the astronauts hanging off Kibo.

Sorry everyone for the late updates today, my DSL modem is not cooperating today and providing me with internet dropouts after some heavy t-storms last night, I think my connection is more stable now.

Discovery is about to start orbit 125 of STS-124, 11 minutes to East handover, 35 minutes to sunset.

This flight has had some of the best visuals of the program.

Mike Fossum is now at the forward end of Kibo:

Little fray on the RTV between thumb and index finger on the left hand. Right hand is fine. - Ron Garan

No changes at all on the left hand, a little erosion on the right hand of the RTV, but clean. - Mike Fossum.

Good glove checks!

Getting tools out of his crew bag. Shuttle/Station complex now passing just north of the Kennedy Space Center.

3 hr. 37 min into EVA. Will remove insulation from cameras on the JEM RMS and release launch locks, deploy debris shields. Ron's still working on fuel lines for the NTA.

I'm looking forward to seeing images from the JEM RMS.

Cover removed. Mike Fossum now working on the end-effector camera, I believe.

More great views.

The fluid connectors have been installed.

One cover removed:

The complex is passing over the North Atlantic Ocean, on East KU, 14 minutes to sunset, 19 minutes to the ZOE.

There is no KU right now due to blockage, the ISS KU antenna is being blocked by the SAs, and the Shuttle KU to East is not available as the TDRS East satellite is 'now behind' the shuttle in simplest terms.
