A bit odd indeed
About EVA length, didn't the last HST repair mission include a 10.5 hr EVA?

I believe Jim Voss & Susan Helms hold the U.S. EVA record at 8h 56m. STS 101, I think.
Edit - STS 102 March 11, 2001.

Is it me or have the Beta Gimbals rotated by about 45 degrees?

I think the angle towards the sun has changed. So only the lighting changed.

The station just entered the night-side so the rest of the SARJ rotations will be in the dark.

Only 5° for the first test. You can tell how much by looking at the launch lock bars - they were in line, now just a bit off.

That's weird, Kylie tells us they are rotating the SARJ but I think you are right.

Waiting for daylight + good Ku, maybe? MCC will also probably alert the crew again just before movement begins, too.

Remind me why ISS is tilted so far to port (left). Great spacewalk today!

I read it's so the still folded solar arrays are exposed to sunlight as much as possible (and not shadowed by other station parts) to help deployment.

As I figured. Just wasn't sure. Thanks! Yeah they definitely don't want to have those solar cells stick together like they did last time!

I just saw something fly out of the P4 truss on NASATV while they were telling the crew about the rotation. Anyone else confirm?

SARJ is rotating. Slowly, about 4-5°/sec
