If Tarek was a member here and used a laptop he would have been first to ask about it

What was with the press conference? Seemed rushed and hardly any questions at all.

Just the Florida Today guy and Tarek from Spacenews were there I think. And KSC didn't have audio so they skipped them.

Tariq is SDC, he'd have to accredit us. There's a number of fellow journalists hanging around here, but they are likely respecting the fact that they need to get their own info rather than using us (which are the correct rules).

What if he (his website) paid a lot for "media access" to L2 with rights to use the info with credits?
Edit: Might be too hard to administer that and watch that it's not being abused.

The truss is at the handoff location, standing by for the station's arm to grapple it.

No exercise allowed when the station's arm grapples until the shuttle's arm is released... guess the crew train too hard, they make everything shake
Anyway, the final approach is underway!

I think most crew members are glued to a window or screen watching the handover.

The GO to ungrapple Canadarm (shuttle's robotic arm) has been given... so the handoff has finished.

If that's what they're assigned to do...there's probably some serious EVA prep going on, too...

Compared to the in-depth TPS studies done yesterday with the OBSS.. Does the RPM manuever really generate engineering data? What areas are covered by the RPS that can not be seen by either the OBSS or on-vehicle cameras?

Can someone please return to my earlier question about shuttle radio comms, if possible? I was wondering why there were still UHF comms being heard on 259.700. I always thought that they stopped using the UHF this far into the mission, and started using it again for deorbit and landing.

The RPM allows imagery of the entire underside of the orbiter from different angles. The initial OBSS inspections are primarily for nose cap and leading edge coverage. There's no way the OBSS would have enough time to inspect the bottom TPS over the whole orbiter, but it can be used for detailed focused inspections for items of interest, if needed, from the RPM pictures.

Gap Filler now classed as "Critical" and is going under evaluations now.
Got a load more images and information on L2, so I've written a short article, with more to come.

Chris, any inkling about whether this means doing focused inspections on Flight Day 5...instead of EVA-2?
Thanx.
