Brief view before handover

Short 20 second comm gap between TDRS-E and TDRS-W.

Edit: or vice-versa -- on TDRS-E for the next 37 minutes or so.

Video back. (At least temporarily)

Ronsmytheiii · « **Reply #71 on:** 05/25/2012 08:12 am »

back through TDRSS-E

Edit: BRIEFLY

AI/HA4 burn coming up, showing inside 5 minutes.

ChrisC · « **Reply #73 on:** 05/25/2012 08:17 am »

Spotted ISS during the eastern US flyover, wasn't able to make out Dragon (with bonics), too close to ISS and too small.

psloss · « **Reply #74 on:** 05/25/2012 08:18 am »

Station video back again; AI burn coming up.

Sadly clouds rolled in right at the most inopportune time to view the passover here in Rochester, NY. Only managed to see the ISS just as it blinked out of view. Hope others had better luck. Oh well, good luck Dragon!

Height Adjustment Burn 4/ Approach Initiation Burn complete

corrodedNut · « **Reply #77 on:** 05/25/2012 08:23 am »

Sounds like "BBQ roll" at 350 meters, coming up in about 45 min.

Edit: More like a "pizza toss"

Ronsmytheiii · « **Reply #78 on:** 05/25/2012 08:24 am »

Ground letting crew know that the AI burn was successful, asking crew about lab camera setup

This is really exciting stuff. I really enjoy the way SpaceX performs. Just so I know, being not all that familiar with all those different timetables; EDT is GMT -5? (I don't want to miss the grappling)

GMT-4 in Daylight time according to greenwichmeantime.org,

http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/usa/eastern-time/

Tip-of-the-day:

If you're on Windows 7 or Vista, double-click the clock at bottom-right corner of the screen and add Eastern time as an additional time-zone. Then you just need to hover the mouse over the time to see your selected time-zones.
