Mike:
Crew is taking a well deserved break. This morning the crew worked with changes to EVA-3. Team working on the Water Dispenser (hot water) problem, potentially a circuit breaker. No new problems on Atlantis. Team recovered PTU yesterday and performed a third checkout after the EVA, full range of motion and the camera is fully functional for late inspection.
Assessing going back to the normal post undocking late inspection, or perform docked survey. Decision either today or later.
MMT decision not to deboost via shuttle. Undock with excessive prop. 70lbs of O2 going to ISS. 40lbs into high pressure tanks. Remainder into the cabin atmosphere.
EVA-3 Ammonia Jumper added. Two batteries. Wrap up work on the P4 worksite with tools. Return ICC to MT FD8 remove FD9 via SSRMS back to PLB. Grapple fixture to be brought inside airlock. Get aheads: MLI on ORU temp platform needs to be put into a proper position. Stow some tools on the outside of the airlock.
Notes Lonnie's 100th mission. First member of the century club. Has worked missions since STS-1.

Mark C on inspections.
Mike: Ascent has been cleared by DAT. MMOD inspection has the team assessing the risk with the PTU, assessing if to do Docked Late Inspection. Risk Trade with DAT and MMT. (So it'd be a full DLI if taken).
EVA length:
Mike: Planned 6.5 hours, do not intend to extend.
Bill H on TPS:
Mike: Decision we got from MMT on FD2 and FD3 and EVA-1 etc. have cleared the vehicle from an ascent standpoint.
On why DLI.
Mike: DLI is because some of the imagery quality is suboptimal, some of the areas we didn't see using the OBSS used alternative assets. There's some small risk with not having a perfect set of imagery. The team is comfortable with what they've seen, no reason to suspect a problem with the heatshield.
Robert P on EMU swap/back up gloves:
Mike: There was a fit problem with Garrett's previous gloves, it was pressing against his hand. Got to be uncomfortable, so he opted to swap to his back up gloves.
Clare M on experiments.
Mike S: Expect to complete the vast majority of them. Cold stowage and then get them to the ground. Checking what items they want to return vs limited stowage on the middeck. May return unrine processing filters etc. Trade off discussion. Will return all the science we launched with.
Todd H on TPS:
Have imagery of all areas on Atlantis. Some did not have the best lighting. RPM got the vast majority and some from EVA-1 during SSRMS transition. During C&C crash they decided to take some photos.
On WLEIDS:
There aren't any indications that would cause us any concern. Most indications could be vibrations, due to how sensitive they are in those locations.
Over.

Watch the video back too, the questions seem to be very good for this mission.

The MSBs and post MMTs are almost always beat reporters, thus they know what they are talking about, and the questions are good as a result. Different league to some of the mass media PAO events (although today's was a good one).

Turned NTV off due to off duty and to concentrate on an article, but it'll be later in the mission before we get a good look inside due to all the cargo in it etc.

I caught some parts of discussion between someone from Expedition 23 (I guess one guy from russian crew) and Mission Control from Moscow. Crew has seen some metal shavings (dunno if I got it right) in the air in MRM-1 and Moscow wanted to ensure that they were having masks. There will be no more work in MRM-1 today, MCC-M is going to analyze situation during the night.
I guess they were working with hatch at that moment..

It was reported earlier that the crew did ingresses MRM-1 and removed one rack of stowage and installed the fan.

Corrections are welcome, but FWIW I thought I heard Kyle Herring earlier in the day note that the SRB camera replays are upcoming. I only heard part of what he said (this was during the Media Channel only part this morning), but thought he said something like 4 pm Central.

From ISS Daily Report for 20/05/2010:
In the RS, the big event today was the opening of and first ingress in the newly arrived MRM-1. Spending most of their work hours on these activities, CDR Kotov & FE-1 Skvortsov:
. Configured STTS intermodule communications between FGB & MRM-1
for operating in MRM-1.
. Set up internal lighting for MRM-1 ingress.
. Readied the IPD & AK-1M equipment for sampling the air in MRM-1.
. Conducted, on TsUP GO, a one-hour leak check at the FGB GA (Pressurized Adapter) and MRM-1 interface.
. Opened, on TsUP GO, the vestibule hatches between the FGB GA & MRM-1.
. Performed the standard first-ingress sampling of the cabin atmosphere,
looking for CO (Carbon Monoxide) with the IPD-CO Draeger tubes, for
Formaldehyde with the IPD-Formaldehyde analyzer, and for air
constituents with two AK-1M samplers, one before, the other after air
scrubbing (but before IMV (Inter Modular Ventilation) activation).
. Started several hours of air scrubbing.
. Performed final ingress in MRM-1.
. Uninstalled & removed the StM "probe" docking mechanism, after taking documentary
photographs of the StM and downlinking them to the ground.
For monitoring MRM-1 hatch opening effects on the cabin atmosphere, Timothy took GSC (Grab Sample Container) samples (to contrast with the ones taken on 18/05.)
Kornienko retrieved a Simvolika kit from MRM-1 and spent close to 3 hrs on the traditional Russian preparation of commemorative (“symbolic”) items of MRM-1’s addition to the ISS, to be returned in part on Soyuz TMA-17/21S (packages #1-#6) and in part on STS-132 (packages #7-#17). [The Simvolika items consist of 17 packages with several hundred Rassvet pennants, which Mikhail imprinted with the ISS stamp, repacked into rubber-lined bags and stowed in 21S and Atlantis.]
EVA-3 Objectives:
Because of yesterday’s excellent spacewalk performance by Bowen & Good, getting well ahead of their timeline and transferring one more battery than planned, EVA-3 has been replanned to include about 25 minutes of get-aheads:
. Install two remaining batteries (E, F) at the P6 Truss, returning the old
units (#5, #6) on the ICC-VLD.
. Clean up the P6 truss.
. Install P4/P5 NH3 (ammonia) jumper.
. Retrieve Orbiter PDGF.
. Remove & re-install P1 Truss RGFSB
(Radiator Grapple Fixture Stowage Beam) – deferred from STS-131/19A EVA-2 in April.
. Re-secure MLI cavity flap on EOTP Input Drive at SPDM - get-ahead.
. Stow EVA tools (can be broken up) - get-ahead.
