The spacewalkers continue on the launch lock removal.
Sounds like lots of extra time for get aheads! They ought to take this chance and clear some of the extra stuff to save time for retract work.

The shuttle station complex is passing over New Zealand coming up on orbit 50 of the STS-117 mission when she crosses the equator, 40 minutes left of the daylight in this pass. EVA crew is removing some of the launch locks off of the SARJ as this EVA starts to come to a close in a hour or so.

The only surprise with the Shannon briefing was that NASA had been considering another EVA since launch as their cryo status was very good having launched at the first attempt. The OMS repair is estimated at taking 90 minutes, so there will be a lot of get aheads to slot in. They have yet to decide whether they will do the blanket repair in EVA 3 or 4.

I don't know -- I was mildly surprised at the remark that the repair is essentially a prerequisite for de-orbit. (And that prompted some what-ifs, too, regarding contingencies.)

Looks like a few small get ahead tasks.
JR is looking forward to some Coffee!

It'll be EVA 3 from reading through everything we've gotten hold of earlier today. Will bring the actual decision sometime tomorrow.

With the repair only requiring an estimated 90 min they will probably add some get ahead tasks too.

Probably lots more tomorrow with the decision, but now I'm wondering where this new task sits on the priority list, particularly with respect to however difficult it is to get the P6 wing retracted. The way I heard Mr. Shannon from the briefing, it sounds like fixing the blanket might take precedent.

Mise well be. Let them quickly get to the arm and get it done and not have to worry about it during the EVA.
Leaving EVA 4 for anything else.
http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?cid=5130 was six hours ago and it was on L2 earlier than that. This site is the first place for news.
