Summary timeline for today's EVA3 tasks.
This is taken from the EVA Flight Data File so if it is updated in today's execute package (not posted yet as I type) I will replace the graphic.

From Execute package p-14
HST Program Words:
Once again, your extraordinary effort has strengthened the Observatory for its continuing
mission. All the gyros passed aliveness and functional testing, and Hubble is once again running
with a full complement. The Battery Module also passed its aliveness and functional testing.
Analysis of the WFC3 performance tests were completed, and show some excellent results. The
noise on the UVIS channel is 3 e-, and the IR channel is 6 e- for the readout only. All
thermoelectric coolers were tested and appropriately draw current and exhibit cooling. WFC3 is
now safed awaiting SMOV operations.

I have a question regarded to today tools which will be in use. Hope you guys can confirm it.
So first attachment - this manual tool will be use to unscrew 32 fasteners (on cover plate), yes? I dont also get correctly how is working this fastener capture plate, could someone explain me that? I heard that the point is to avoid breakin fasteners (need confirmation/explanation).
Second attachment - is that "wishbone" tool which will help to install CET (Card Extraction Tool)?

The first tool is an FET (Fastener Extraction Tool) and is basically just a manual screwdriver (there are 14-inch and 9-inch versions, the smaller one a "mini-FET").
The second tool is actually the business end of the Mini Power Tool (MPT) which is a new tool and is a more delicate version of a Pistol Grip Tool (PGT). It has a battery pack at the end of a short umbilical cable.
I've attached a 3-D graphic of the hand-held part of this tool.
Not sure of the intricate details of how the screws are held by the fastener capture plate at the moment

MikeMi - here are drawings of the "wishbone" which holds the card extraction tool in place during circuit card removal from the ACS.

EMU prebreathe started
Started at MET 18:33 (or about 35 minutes after the hour) for about 40 minutes. That leads to airlock depress.
Preparing for HST rotation.
