I just wanted to say how pleased and eager I am to see the last of the solar arrays being installed with the help of Canada's contribution: the Canararm2 (SSRMS). It has been a long time coming. I hope to see a continued level of support with NASA and other ISS partners in the coming years as we gain knowledge in space exploration and science activities. Love this site. Big thanks to Chris B & Chris G, and all the members and posters for their wonderful images, insight, and knowledge.

And finally to the teams at NASA and the companies that support them so we can all enjoy our passion for space and spaceflight.

Thanks everyone!

Nice EVA overview. Starting with how the arm will move the S6 truss into position.

EVA preps are now on schedule (at least according to PAO).

Out of KU. Animations playing.

Good targets on the SSRMS. Go to proceed.

SSRMS in motion.

Complex traveling over the pacific off of Japan, about 15 minutes until orbital sunrise.

Arm in motion with S6.

In response to my article yesterday. Canadarm2 is the SSRMS (Space Station Remote Manipulator System).

Currently translating S6 to the intermediate position of pre-install.

For EMU Pre-breath, Step 3 is not required.

Finally a robotics shot!

Should be coming into orbital sunrise in about a minute and a half.

Sunrise, right on time!
