Warning to watch his helmet on the array.

Still seems like it's that one grommet that's causing the problem.

It's going to take a long time if they move Beamer in and out whenever they retract one bay.

A long hard night.

What was that call for an RPC alarm and a "smell check"?

I think is was some sort of fire alarm.

If I heard right, they said the smoke alarms were NOT in alarm. But they did have an alarm that might be related to the fire detection system. Anyone hear it more clearly than I did?

gromet's loose, wire's not tensioning.

Grommet flipping time.

Wire is no longer pinching.

For the astronaut - correct, for me - only night

Sounds like Beamer wants them to retract while he's right next to the array!

New tool!

Ready for some tension wire plucking. The grommet check didn't reveal anything.

25 minutes to sunset on this pass, 15 minutes to end of this KU pass through TDRS West, we may get KU through the ISS on TDRS East, next daylight pass after this one starts at 4:45 PM EST (9:45 PM GMT).

Tension wire is totally slack. That does not look good to me (but then, what do I know?)...

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #154 on:** 12/18/2006 08:09 pm »

New tool time.

Going to attempt to pull the guide wire.

Wow, that's loose!

Spiff · « **Reply #155 on:** 12/18/2006 08:10 pm »

Whoops. That loose guidewire doesn't look good...

eeergo · « **Reply #156 on:** 12/18/2006 08:10 pm »

Quite loose indeed :O

It's just hanging there! Maybe a deploy of a bay and a half will put some tension on it?

Speedracer · « **Reply #158 on:** 12/18/2006 08:13 pm »

This is like Etch-a-Sketch tech support. The solution, "pick it up and shake it"...

Sounds like that is what Beamer reccomended.
