True, but either way, most illustrations always show the arrays flat, in the same plane as the station, and I can't recall *ever* seeing the arrays rotated on the alpha joint, regardless of any beta gimbal angle pictured in an illustration.
Most moves are at night. Weather is better at that time. Also one team takes it to the pad and another canister team with the standard 1st shift shuttle pad crew can support the lift during the day. FYI two different contractors working this: Boeing as the CAPPS contractor is responsible for the canister operations. USA runs the pad and controls the crane and the PCR. The payload inside is the responsibility of the contractor whose hardware is holding it. USA doesn't get to "claim" the payload until the PGHM holds it.
It looks like the lift of the payload canister is about to begin...
Payload canister going up!
Thread locked. This was only for when she was in the OPF.
