KSC questions: What can FI accomplish that is different from today?
Tony: Different sensors to determine depth of damage, and better map it.
KSC: Describe challenge of grapple tomorrow.
Tony: Like grappling payloads and satellites done before. Scooter will get close, and Megan will grapple. High confidence in success tomorrow.

Q: Update on ASA-1 from ascent.
Tony: Still discussing. Shorted at liftoff, down to a single ASA.
Might want to rephrase your paraphrase -- this makes it sound like the capability is reduced to a single ASA, whereas, the problem is isolated to a single ASA.
Yep, I'll reword that. Thanks for the catch. Trying to get as much info from the briefing as quick as possible.
EDIT: changed. Now that I read what I wrote again, it sounded far worse than it is! No need to alarm people as they read that!

Just so nobody has to go back through the thread, here are the screencaps i got of the area with the nicks just mentioned on NTV. I'm sure Chris is working on finding out more.
DAT make this their first item of interest at the MMT. Data review in work. Well done for spotting it Nick!

Damage now believed to have been caused by a liberation from an Ice Frost Ramp (ET). Focused Inspection possible, but not called yet as they evaluate. Notes that the chin tiles are thick, so that's good.
We're getting images etc, so this will be turned around into an article.

We look forward to it!
