  See for yourself (last picture, to the right):

  Great link, thanks for that. I didn't think the longerons would be composite and was scratching my head trying to figure out some form of self assembling metal pole structure.
  
  They are a lot more flexable than I thought!

  Has the SSRMS walk on to the Destiny happened yet? Will it be televised?

  
  It's starting to be televised right now... anyhow, I think the operations may be cut when the interviews with the astronauts take place.

  There's another EVA tomorrow to hook it up and then STS-116 in December to reconfig the power to the station.

• Thanks. But till Dec. will they be in active state and charging battiers or some thing like that.

  The deploy has already successfully finished, and there's been a bit of stincktion, but it wasn't a big issue... the article in the home page is really good!

• Hmm... Why are we walking off the SSRMS? With it on Destiny, P3/P4 is mostly out of reach, no? How is the arm to support EVA 3 from Destiny?

  There's no need for the SSRMS to support EVA-3. Also, it wasn't used in either of EVA-1 or EVA-2.

• I suppose it's being positioned there to allow for assistance in Z1 for tomorrow spacewalk...

  Has it been shown yet?
• #136 by nathan.moeller on 14 Sep, 2006 15:43
• Yes it played right after Kylie (Nicole?) announced it.  Pretty spectacular.
• #137 by dutch courage on 14 Sep, 2006 15:44
• Yes, but I got the feeling it wasn't 8 minutes.
  Only one SRB video (viewing aft).
  
  Kylie Clem!
