Telescope activation underway. This is being worked by Scooter. Deploy of the HGAs will occur and HST will be rotated back to its initial position. After this, the Solar Arrays will be slewed to their 90 degree position.

If you mean what does BAPS stand for, it is Berthing And Positioning System.

Currently out of Ku over the ZOE. Spacewalkers are still working on the cleanup of the payload bay.

It was just mentioned that they're getting ready for HST antenna(?) re-deploy. I thought they did that before grappling, so if that's the case, wouldn't they want to wait until tomorrow until the HST is released so that re-deployed antennas don't hit something on the orbiter upon HST's release?

Sounds like they've accidentally hit part of a low gain antenna on Hubble. No picture of that right now.

John really bummed out about accidentally kicking the low gain antenna.
...and he comments that this will show as his "highest heart rate"...

Hope someone recorded that (John 44?)
Some paraphrasing:
"This has been a really tremendous adventure a very challenging mission. This is not just a satellite, but human quest for knowledge. A tour de force of tools and ingenuity. The only way to find out what is possible is to do the impossible. Being on a marvellous spaceship like Atlantis shows us what is possible, and maybe we can use the experience on things like solving the world's energy demands. We wish Hubble well."

Concur. A whole bunch of great words. Too many to list, but a great closeout speech for the whole team on doing the impossible.
