From the graphics that I have it seems that when the P4 truss rotate, its solar arrays will hit the P6 solar arrays. Is that true and what will be done in order to prevent any conflicts - lock the alfa rotary joint until P6 solar arrays partial retraction on STS-116?

Yes -- and the power that the P4 arrays generate won't be distributed to the station until after work on 12A.1/STS-116, so the SARJ won't move much (or at all) until after both the port side P6 wing is retracted and the power redistribution on the next flight.

Deploy resumed. What a view! Shame I had to sleep.
- Dang, lost picture for 8.5 minutes . . . . during the best part, too!

Is it me or is it extending much slower than the first half?

Looks like the deployed 4A array is being flipped over via the BGA...

TDRS ZOE = Tracking and Data Relay Setallite - Zone of Exclusion. It means gap in communication above Indian Ocean, part of which is note covered by any TDRS satellite now.

Actually, there is a TDRS there called TDRS-Z.

This is going to be good. Orbital sunrise at the same time as first half deployment.
