Someone from crew talked while ago with MCC-H about tools reconfiguration (trash bags, some tools and f.e. MLI from EVA-1) as the transfer activity continues.
Complex passed over central Brasil 3 minutes ago :
Tony has a Go to proceed with OBSS move to undock position.
They asked about couple of minutes for preparation.
So far we have SSRMS in view :
Passing over West Sahara and Maroko:
They will be centrally over Madrid in few moments. OBSS in view :
Tony Antonelli will maneuver SRMS+OBSS in to stable position before undocking.
View from payload bay cam:
Over Russia/Kazakhstan border.
Tony reported that maneuver is completed. Robo ops are finished for couple od days.
Need leave in couple of minutes (my green fence awaits for cut
.
Educational event in 10 minutes. Session of crew with students and kids.
Event in progress. Questions are predictable, however I didn't know that TJ knows german (there was question about used language up there).
They are in Kibo :
Some kid asked about how they feel on that last mission of Atlantis. Ken answered that maybe it isn't the last one (he added that if it is then it's a great honor to participate in that).
Questions were recorded earlier...
Some "Soichi shots" for ya!
The first one shows sunrise/sunset seen from the Cupola.
The second one shows Aurora & Atlantis!
Question 'if they are taking some medicines to stop bone structure damaging'. Of course answer was negative..
Well, event is over.
My godness Pete, these are great!
What's the rack/experiment Soichi is working now? He pulled it out :
Crew should have now scheduled meal.
Tracy in Lab:
Thanks Mike. Crew now in off duty time. MSB in 90 mins.
Video Replays of SRBs for couple of minutes:
Booster videos replaying. Already recorded and uploaded into the FD8 and STS-132 video thread in case you missed them etc.
Mike: Today is a welcome shift in the (pace) of STS-132. Completed all tasks, ICC back in the PLB. Three great EVAs and MRM-1 installed. Now we aim to return Atlantis home early next week.
Robotics were handled in an exceptional manner. The crews of Atlantis and ISS complimented the folks who plan the robotics and built the Cupola. I'll just second those words. SSRMS performed very well, Canadarm2 is an outstanding peice of machinary.
FD9 has some off duty time. Final transfers on FD10. Close hatches midday, undock around 10:22 Central. One lap flyaround. Conducted some science today where they measured their spinal growth.
Will undock. Nominal Late Inspections, then put away the booms for the final robotics of the mission.
Currently transfering 70lbs of O2. Small hurdle transfering it, with the O2 transfer system. 10lbs of N2, and 1200 of 1300 of water now on ISS, rest tomorrow.
MRM-1 being integrated with the ISS systems. Hatches open for a day and a half now cleaning the air. Will hook up some ducting later today.
