The PET (phased elapsed time of the spacewalk) is now 4:00, 6 minutes to sunset, 11 minutes to the ZOE, complex will soon pass over Turkey.

We should get a shuttle KU pass through TDRS-Z as we pass through the ZOE in about 9 minutes, 3 minutes to sunset, the ZOE pass will be 13 minutes long. S-band video stills through East now, will last for a few more minutes only.

All insulation now removed, Fossum removing launch locks from the other Kibo window - now accessible due to movement of the Kibo RMS since the last spacewalk.

Launch locks now removed.

Now entering the ZOE, shuttle KU through Z may be possible this pass, not sure if we will see anything interesting from the payload bay cameras. 11 minutes to West comm coverage, 29 minutes to sunrise.

Ron Garan will soon head to the Quest air-lock to get the refurbished camera that they fixed yesterday. This will likely be the last event of spacewalk.

Now halfway through this ZOE pass, a shuttle KU pass is looking more uncertain right now, PET is 4:16, 23 minutes to sunrise, expect KU through West to resume after sunrise.

One of the MMOD shields around the interface between the JLP and JEM has now been deployed into position.

Both good on their timelines. Rick is to check the JRMS due to an imperceptable motion during pan and tilt.

Did I just hear one of the astronauts saying "in space, everyone can hear you scream"?

The EVA crew is starting to make preparations for the last major task of this EVA, the re installation of the CP 9 camera on the nadir of the P1 truss. Mike is working on the second MMOD shield that protects the interface between the JLP & JEM, and Ron is heading back to the airlock to get the repaired CP 9 camera after it was removed on EVA 2, the second MMOD shield is now deployed.

Now in West comm coverage, 15 minutes to sunrise, expect KU through West to resume after sunrise if I am correct

PET is now about 4:30, EVA is limited to about 6:30 today due to Mike's EMU supplies, complex is passing south and west of Australia right now. 13 minutes to sunrise.

I laughed so hard anyway.

This task is one of the JPM TV camera torque setting, not the JEMRMS.

Back to live video from ISS

I believe we have KU through West right now, 10 minutes to sunrise, the second MMOD shield is deployed but it is not bolted in place yet due to alignment issues.

Nice shot of the JLP/JPM CBM Mate:

6 minutes to sunrise, complex is passing well south of Sydney, Australia, right now.

Okay, my mistake. I heard them talking about moving the boom on the JPM...

3 minutes to sunrise, PET is now about 4:40.

They're now in sunlight and doing a glove inspection.

Glove check complete. All looks good!

Sunrise, too.
