Card coming out.
Passing it over to inspect for damaged, bent, or missing pins.

They are now at the 6 hour mark, the old card has been removed from STIS.

Is there chance that they will also go with work on NOLB?

Doubtful, they are about 2:30 behind time

14.5 foot pounds
Could someone translate this into a SI unit for me. Should be Newton (N).
Analyst
Hi all, just caught up after a day out with the wife, thanks for the text commentary. Wanted to provide this one bit of info because of the units question above: Google Is Your Friend!
http://www.google.com/search?q=14.5+foot+pounds+in+newton+meters
Using the keyword "in", Google will do unit conversions for you. So in this case you type "14.5 foot pounds in newton meters". Voila, 19.66 N-m 
The guy who posted saying it was Joules / energy was flat wrong. Bad engineer, no cookie for you! Take a deep breath and double check what you're posting, or don't if you're actually not sure ...
Back to monitoring live, and thanks Take a deep breath and double check what you're posting, or don't if you're actually not sure ...again to all!
Physicist, not engineer. We measure everything in energy and set h=G=c=1 :-)
And in general 1 Nm = 1 J anyway.
But OK, if the poster was talking about a torque measurement, rather than
force x distance = work done, Nm is conventionally considered more appropriate than J, although it does correspond to the energy in J for turning something through one radian, and cosmologists tend to think more in those terms , apologize for any confusion generated.

Ku coming back in 5 minutes. The two Mikes are working on the closeout of the work site, supposed to take about 40 min. Past 6:15 in the EVA.
Confirmed they won't work on outer blanket installation. Atlantis approaching Namibia.

I think they're reserving the 6th EVA for orbiter contingencies.
