They've reached the new piece of the station...it's nice to know when sunrise is, because they'll probably want to put down the sun visors on the helmets -- the lighting change is pretty fast.

How's this truss addition going to affect station's attitude? Obviously the CM is shifting quite a lot, so how are they going to compensate it?
There was a note in one of the ISS status reports just before the launch campaign started (late August)...have to go look for that, but it might be a good question to throw over to the ISS forum.

Anyone who is on L2 are welcome to copy some useful pages out of the STS-115: Full EVA overview and images (326 pages, 56 meg) document into here.

CMGs shouldn't have a problem for normal attitude control. Orbit boosts will have to compensate for the mass change until S3/S4.

FWIW, the 24 August status report waves "good-bye" to the XPOP attitude. That's on L2.

There's the CID-7 call from the summary timeline. Next step for Tanner is releasing the aft (4A) beta gimbal assembly (BGA) restraints. Stefanyshyn-Piper is working on the aft solar array blanket box (SABB) restraints.

No FI required. They surely must believe the Gap Filler (the main one) will fall out during re-entry.

Stefanyshyn-Piper has finished releasing the aft solar array blanket box (SABB) restraints, now moving to do the same for the forward (2A) SABB.

They should have the EV-1 and 2 stripes on the top of the gloves too to make it easier to see who's helmet cam we are looking through.
