Mike -
Atlantis is now a seven person crew, and the ISS is a five person crew. Now moving away from ISS at four miles per orbit.
Ran into a problem during the waste dump. 165lbs to 85lbs of waste level. Believe there's a blockage in the line. Confident the team will come up with a back up plan.
12 to 24 hours for DAT to conclude the Late Inspection results.

I wonder if that's the nozzle in question....I don't think so personally.
Look like the AFT wall of the PLB. That 'knob' looks to be one of the locking pins (whatever the correct term is).

These arms really are superb.
Canada is really proud of her space arms

Gina on seeing the ISS in the latest assembly point:
Mike - worked really hard with the teams for flight did a tremendous amount of work. It was a good feeling to see it installed on Station.
On the waste water nozzle:
Mike - We have some margin in the waste tank. We can make it through landing day, only if we have to extend we have to take additional measures. Looking to see if we can unclog the tank, and empty it tomorrow. Having a look during the survey. Don't think there's icing, but need to rule it out.
Robert - if they were to find ice, could there be action to take?
Mike - Nozzle has heaters embedded, and could put them on in cycles to free the ice like a deicer. We don't think it's icing.
On thanksgiving - able to interacte with family.
Mike - don't have time in the timeline for family conferences. Don't have access to the IP phone on the ISS. They have opportunity to send e-mail. Sure they will be sending greetings.
Marcia on the nozzle for past Friday - what measures?
Mike - might break out some tools to unclog the line, or manage the waste. It contains urine and condensation (but have alt set up for that into bags). Only urine goes into the waste tank.
Marcia really want to know if they'll be weeing into bags.
Mike - too early, still trying to work the problem. Confident the weather will be good to come home on Friday.
MSB over.

Here's our waste nozzle.
No obvious ice - PAO.

Got what they need on the nozzle. See some frost, but that's expected.
Clog upstream in the line seems to be favorite now.

There's spots and marks as seen on these two latest images that almost all the time turn out to be nothing, shadowing, OBBS view coming across strange on NTV.

By the way, if you put headphones on and turn the volume up to full, you can hear the "other" loop.....only just. can't make out if it's just the ISS loop or the FD loop.

Nice attitude for the crew to look out of the front windows - providing they aren't covered in checklists

It's space to ground 2 on that faint background noise.
