Reuters: Sense of relief, what did you feel like?
A: Megan did a fantastic job, blown away with seeing the telescope up close. Things would not have ripped apart, but expected to see some degradation, beautiful sight, shows size of the telescope

Bornstein: Asking about degradation:
A: Has been in the past, do not have that quantified, astronauts will have a good look tomorrow. Cannot quantify right now but expect some from previous experience.
Bornstein: Debris on cover, so should not affect instruments.
A: No idea what it is, worried that it could get on mirror, but contamination guys are ok with it.
Bornstein: Focused inspection?
A: No inspection on chine, enough data that no more was needed. Still have the rest of the vehicle, will yeah or nay at 5 pm est.

Does anyone know when John44's capture-and-upload window closes daily? I'm wondering if the MMT briefing at 5pm ET will get uploaded by him today or tomorrow. I don't want to watch live (busy) but I don't want to wait until morning either

Scott Altman just called down that they were going to wait for the sun angle to improve a little bit before repositioning the payload bay cameras for the upcoming HST solar array slew.

No action required, but they are tracking a conjunction ("yellow"). Closest approach currently estimated around beginning of crew sleep period.

LeRoy saying how nominal and uneventful the grappling and berthing sequence was.
Some funnies: R5R thruster degraded chamber pressure. Keeping watch in it, although there are workarounds for stationkeeping if it should completely fail.
WLE impact in 11R panel (.47 Gs -corrected-) Probably real impact, also shown in adjacent panels. But not concerned about damage, certainly not critical. At most, coating damage.

I believe that was 0.47 GRMS.
