Trying to simul both GLAST and 124 Late Inspection coverage.  Nothing of issue to my eye, so far, on the L.I.'s.

Looking like they are scanning the nosecap, inspections started early?
it's the starboard inspections, and looking at the timeline it's pretty much on time

Thanks.  Thought it was early because of the smooth RCC, looked like the nose.  :)

They're continuing the scan:
I'll even excitedly look forward to "flags and footprints" and suborbital missions. Just fly...somewhere.

Switching between GLAST and 124 is hard work, missed all the thrusters!

1 hour and 30 minutes until the MSB.  Crew running 15 to 20 minutes ahead of their OBSS Scanning timeline.

All looking good by my eye, but as we all know, NASA TV generally doesn't show any minor damage on screen.

Crew taking a short break to recalibrate sensors on the OBSS before the next scan.  Ken Ham will go get lunch while being replaced by Mike Fossum, as Karen Nyberg will do the first and second scans.
