Tanner and Piper are now changing positions (Piper is now working in replacing the antenna support and Tanner is supporting her)
Piper just reported her fingers were getting cold...

Anyone know what this issue was with the S-band assembly. It seemed it was expected to be straightforward, but on site the EVAers said something would have to be rotated 180 degrees in order to be in the correct position to lock. Didn't catch what that was all about, but that's when Tanner started to tryand loosen some screws which were too tight. Was this some oversight on the planning side (not knowing what configuration it was in)?

Wouldn't it have been faster and more efficient to move the antenna with the SSRMS?

I suppose it doesn't have the grapple fixture, it's too small...

Next activities are: Piper will upgrade the S-band antenna in S1 and Tanner will put a thermal cover over the Ku-band antenna.

JT just reported the KU heat shield was created by real professionals. It fits like a glove.

EVA 3 was delayed a little due to a tripped circuit breaker. The circuit was overloaded with the vacuum pump and heaters which kicked in.
P4 is self sustaining now the PVR is extended.
S-Band system is being checked out and is working.

Will the STS-115 landing at 5:57 am eastern time be classed as a night landing, or will it be daybreak down there in Florida at that time?
