CP 9 is powered up and it is working okay.

Ford beat me to it (the shot of the port truss) so I'll offer up this:

Mike's working on installing thermal blankets on Harmony quick disconnects. 1 hour left to end of EVA.

Helmet cam shots of the orbiter and complex.

NSF knows the camera works even before the EVA spacewalkers. How cool is that?
Wicked images guys.

Now they're thinking of doing another get ahead of removing the starboard SARJ launch restraints.

Ron's going to do another get ahead task - removing some launch restraints from the starboard SARJ. Mike will be doing his get ahead task as well.

They started this get-ahead on EVA-1 when they managed to remove two of the SARJ Launch Restraints (SLRs) and break the bolt torques on the remaining two, before moving on.

A very nice shot of the two astronauts working on their respective tasks.

_{Will be back in about 30 minutes.}

Now there's talk of a 'bigger picture' for perhaps another get-ahead. They must be breezing through their tasks!
I'm thinking WETA...but that's a long one!

2 minutes to sunset, 16 minutes to the ZOE, this next ZOE pass is going to be 11 minutes long.

Helmet cam shots of Harmony connection to Destiny. They're now in orbital night.

Node 1 MOD shield...that's the possible get-ahead.

Bubbinski · « **Reply #196 on:** 06/08/2008 07:33 pm »

Doing some more work by Harmony and Destiny.

Did they put the WETA in the airlock? last night MCC gave them the option of not bringing it out as they thought there were plenty of other get aheads, but I never heard the crews decision.

5:40 into EVA. "Two person" job to install Node 1 MMOD shield so they won't do that now. Talking about moving APFR ingress aid or Mike assisting on SLR's.

They'll do the ingress aid get ahead task because it will help out STS-126.
