Mission: STS-115 - 19th International Space Station Flight (12A) -
P3/P4 Truss Segments and Solar Arrays
Vehicle: Atlantis (OV-104)
Location: Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 1
Target Launch Date: Aug. 28, 2006
Launch Pad: 39B
Crew: Jett, Ferguson, Tanner, Burbank, MacLean and Stefanyshyn-Piper
Inclination/Orbit Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles
In Orbiter Processing Facility bay 1, Atlantis has been placed on a
transporter that will be used to transfer the orbiter to the Vehicle
Assembly Building. Rollover of Atlantis is currently scheduled for
Monday morning. Once in the VAB, the orbiter will be lifted into high
bay 3 for mating to the external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters.

I still think the truss is sadly lacking some thermal covers.
Unless there will be one or two sheets to be installed in one of the installation spacewalks?

I think they left those areas without thermal covers because that's where the track for the Mobile Transporter is located. Thermal covers might get in the way in case future spacewalks have to be done to repair that area, a la STS-121

The truss has a number of covers on it, but not over the rail section, there may be a few covers that might be added during the EVA, also without the covers, the cameras on the outside of the ISS may have a better view at the latching systems...

Isn't this truss structure identical to the one already on the ISS? You know, the one sticking out the top that in time will move round the side.

No, the 3/4 trusses are different from the P6 truss on-orbit or the S6 truss that will fly last. The obvious difference is that the 3/4 truss has a solar alpha rotary joint, about which the sets of solar array wings will eventually rotate.
Bill Harwood just recently posted a
Boeing reference on P3/P4.

The move of the P3/P4 truss is covered in today's NASA Video file (TRT 2:26)
And an interview with Robbie Ashley, STS-115 Payload Mission Manager.

It's interesting that the SARJ is one aspect of the truss that I don't think any completed ISS illustration has ever shown in use.

I think you are getting mix up with the beta joint. Any illustration that doesn't have the arrays vertical or horizonal would be using the alpha gimbal
