Increase in motion as they clear the trunk.

... and there it comes!

Ustream feed switched back the elbow camera (bottom).

Maybe they're interactively switching back and forth...back to the truss and I'm going to stop obsessing about it.

Just prior to (brief) LOS...looked like mostly wrist motion after backing out of the trunk.

How can there be LOS when the station is right over North America? Is a TDRSS asset down?

EDIT, never mind, they are back.

'Handing over' from one satellite to another.

Ah, makes sense. Thanks.

The arm is moving rapidly now.

Lots of elbow joint motion...

corrodedNut · « **Reply #371 on:** 03/06/2013 07:37 pm »

Looks like a stick figure...

psloss · « **Reply #372 on:** 03/06/2013 07:37 pm »

...and then a camera swap...some color issues from this camera on the other side of the truss...

psloss · « **Reply #373 on:** 03/06/2013 07:40 pm »

Going to have to split for now.

This is very cool

jcm · « **Reply #376 on:** 03/06/2013 07:46 pm »

Seems like motion has stopped for now?

HRSGFs now on their way to the POA on the MBS.

In other news, ISS has gone into orbit around that purple planet from Star Wars.

Lars_J · « **Reply #378 on:** 03/06/2013 07:48 pm »

It is moving again... This seems like it will be quite a stretch for the arm.

Interesting, I did not realize that this combined package has four (4!) arm grapple fixtures.
