• Large amount of RCS residue in all windows, although described as "not objectionable" by Wilmore.
  
  MCC-H checking whether it's also applicable to centerline camera window (top hatch), and it's also there.

• Hot fire test at 260 m inside the KOS, doing stationkeeping in free drift. Waving off the manual piloting test preplanned for that point for now, pending on the troubleshooting results.
  
  Trying to get back the 2 RCS jets that got out of order a while back.

  It has been noted. There were separate Update vs. Discussion threads for the launch, but this is the only thread for the mission.

• One of the thrusters determined to be good for control, even if classed as "failed" (E2A2 RCS jet).
• #357 by gaballard on 06 Jun, 2024 15:34
• “Lost another jet, S1A1”
• #358 by eeergo on 06 Jun, 2024 15:35
• Ready to execute the hot fire procedure to try to regain the jets marked as failed.

• Starliner just can't seem to keep it together. Very disappointing.
