I'm lost for words. With the earth in the background that was even more spectacular than the first array.

This is going so smoothly.... it surprises me really.
Remember those arrays on Hubble? Man man were those a pain in the ... Shows that those NASA engineers learned lots about solar array deployment.
Good job so far guys! Lets hope for the best.

Does anyone know how the central boxwork strut is folded? I can see how the cloth mounted z folded cells are stowed and deployed but I can't figure out how the box strut is unfolding.
