MSB in 30 minutes. Not seeing any post-MMT briefing on the NTV schedule...which is usual as there's no big issues.

Crew confirmed as off to sleep 30 minutes earlier, with wake up at 1:20am Central. We're getting back into the sort of night shift timelines we saw on STS-131.

Wow its moved up like 2 hours already!
Can't wait to see the video of robotics uploaded. I missed them cause of school and they are my favorite!

Haha no I haven't gone through the entire thread yet and I love those time lapses they are great Ron!!
But I am hoping someone recorded the robotics in regular time....

FD Emily:
The contact sensor that didn't trip was caused by the docking being right down the middle. It went picture perfect.
EVA-2 has the new task added to the start of the spacewalk. We will present the boom to a crewmember and he will tie out the cable that's causing the wedge. Will then carry on with the battery tasks as per normal.
Busy day all the way around.

Questions:
OBSS:
Emily: There's a cart only needs moving one step to the P6 truss for the task.
Going back to the new antenna?
Emily: Yes, we have increased the priority on that and will revisit on EVA-3 after the battery tasks. Then head back up to the SGANT and attempt to further torque down the bolts holding it to the boom. Have back up scenarios.
Portable Water dispenser:
Emily: There's a problem where it shows where the bag is engaged. Some of the lights that are normally on are off. Can't get hot water, but can get ambient water from PWD.
MRM-1 Ingress set up:
Emily: Hatch opening tomorrow for filter operations. Clamps installed next. FD8 slight amount of time to begin transfers out of the module. It's on large metal racks that slice through the module. You get the cargo out and throw the rack away (for Progress). Deadline for final config is the next Soyuz docking, as they need to get through the MRM-1
First major use of Cupola RWS:
Emily: Used it three days in a row. Views are stunning enough they forgot to move the cameras. Appparently there's been no problems.
OBSS Cable task timeline:
Emily: Estimating it will take 20-30 minutes. Prior to Agency FRR we had 30 minutes booked for a battery stow task. Do not need to do that. Transfered to this task. Still hopeful of three battery exchanges, but willing to extend to a fourth battery. Steve will stop off at the cart and take care of that, while Mike heads off to P6.

Additional inspection:
DAT still evaluating if we need to do any further inspections. If we get the LDRI back, it should be suffient. Four or five spots that had not been fully inspected, and still determining if they need a camera view or not. FD7 or FD9 would be the days available.
Antenna issue root cause:
Couple of theories, such as thermal properties....guide pins were expanded. Now the bolts should be thermally equal, will try and get it bolted down nice and flush.
Plan B:
Tether in place so there's no concerns of it coming off. Tie down plan is back up to getting the bolts down.

Emily: Hatch opening tomorrow for filter operations.
Hmm, NASA TV Schedule Rev. C says hatch opening will occur on Thursday (FD-7), not tomorrow (FD-6). Do we know which date is correct? Thanks.
EDIT:
Today's ISS Daily Report says hatch opening will occur on FD-7 as well.

Watching the replay of the MSB, and I have to say that Emily is a rather attractive lady.

According to MSB and Emily the hatch will be opened tomorrow so they can install a filter and after that it will be closed again so the air can be clean over a couple of days before ingress.

From ISS Daily Report for 18/05/2010:
MRM-1 was transferred from Atlantis’ Payload Bay and berthed to the FGB Nadir port without hitch today.
CDR Ken Ham & PLT Tony Antonelli, at the controls of the SRMS, grappled and unberthed MRM-1 in the Payload Bay, then transferred it to the Park position.
With MS-4 Piers Sellers & MS-1 Garrett Reisman operating the SSRMS, MRM-1 was handed over from the SRMS to SSRMS and then moved to the FGB Nadir port to the Predock position.
Docking activities were closely monitored by CDR Kotov from the Cupola and by FE-1 Skvortsov from the SM via streaming video on the “Simvol-Ts” TsVKU color monitor.
Extension of the MRM-1 docking probe was then completed.
MRM-1 berthing and installation at the FGB Nadir port occurred shortly thereafter, with all hooks driven and latches & probe retracted. [MRM-1 uses the StM probe-and-cone type docking system, consisting of an active docking assembly (ASA) with a probe (SSh), which fits into the cone (SK) on the passive docking assembly (PSA) for initial soft dock and subsequent retraction to hard dock. The ASA is mounted on MRM-1, while the PSA sits on the FGB.]
Before MRM-1 transfer, FE-6 Creamer configured the SSC-1 A31p laptop in the FGB and activated the VWS /SSC-1 (Video Streaming Workstation/Station Support Computer-1) laptops, followed by Skvortsov running the standard test of the RS analog video conversion “scheme” for transmitting RS analog signals by streaming video via US Ku-band assets. [After the berthing, TJ powered the video system off again.]
For the docking, a Russian laptop was configured in the USOS. [Oleg & Alexander set up the remote RS work station in the Cupola by connecting its hatch drag-through cable between Node 3 & Node 1 and then conducted a test of the command capability of the configuration.]
Subsequently, the CDR followed the SRMS/SSRMS MRM-1 berthing maneuvers from the Cupola remote RS station, afterwards taking down the OpsLAN cable between Node 1 & Node 3 again while FE-1 deactivated the BRTK TVS video equipment with the “Simvol-Ts” TsVKU in the SM.
For return to the ground on STS-132, FE-5 Noguchi collected ITCS (Internal Thermal Control System) coolant samples from the Node 2 LTL (Low Temperature Loop) & MTL (Moderate Temperature Loop), and of the ITCS LTL in the JPM. [Node 3 samples were collected on 15/05.]
EVA-1 SGANT Attachment Issue:
During EVA-1, the crew encountered free play between the dish and antenna book, i.e., a ~1mm gap which remained even when torque was increased. Leading cause is that the dish and the boom were not in thermal equilibrium which could have caused binding of the guide pins. Impacts to EVA-3 duration and scheduled tasks are being assessed.
EVA-2 LDRI Cable Fix:
As a new ~30min task added to tomorrow’s EVA-2 timeline, a crewmember will attempt to undo the obstructed Shuttle LDRI sensor cable by releasing it from its pinched spot, pull the snagged cable section toward the cable connector and install a tie wrap around the two ends of the LDRI cable. [The spacewalker will be stationed on an APFR at the starboard CETA cart WIF-2, and the LDRI will be presented to him by the SRMS/OBSS.]
