Allright - one last one. Dextre has it's lights on now!

I'm always amazed to see the high intensity particles hitting the camera's sensors...quite the radiation zone, even for LEO!

In motion...

Fellas (and ladies) ... could anyone provide a link to NASA's website where they post pictures (hi res)? I've seen a link somewhere in these threads, but finding it now is going to be quite difficult!! I have Andre Kuipers' flickr page (awesome pics), but looking for NASA's too!

Thanks, and awesome info these last few days... what WILL I do after a (hopeful) successful EOM?!?

In daylight now. Dextre just hanging out, job done. Likely a slower translation back due to it being ground control.

Nick. Nothing since flyunder has been uploaded in hi res due to the long weekend. We know, as we're going to grab every single photo in hi res for L2, like we did for Shuttle (NASA.gov would pick and choose about 10, we'd have massive dumps of hundreds

) and like the 300+mb of flyunder for this mission.

ISS guys have looked, so I know this is still the case.

Is ITAR preventing them from showing us the inside of the trunk? Or is it another case of "You will respect my Proprietary"?

QuantumG · « **Reply #166 on:** 05/28/2012 01:00 am »

I imagine there's just nothing to see yet.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #167 on:** 05/28/2012 01:02 am »

Yep. Nothing to see, and we had a conversation not long ago where it appears it might even be sealed off.

This op is only about putting the robotics through a test run.

I was wondering where the radiators went. Some have suggested that they must be inside the trunk, and I was hoping to find out.

Couple of pretty shots.

Aren't they on the outer surface of the trunk?

Thanks, Chris. You're making a case for me to pay up and join L2... nice 'non-advertisement' advertisement... we'll done!

That's what I understood, the radiators were literally built into the trunk, as with the Apollo SM.
