Any thoughts on why they're not trying to fit more get-aheads in?

Ten minutes left of daylight in this pass, coverage of KU through TDRS-West will end in around 15 minutes or so.The next events we may see televised during the next TDRS-West pass after passing through the ZOE in about 45 minutes will be cleanup and ingress into the airlock.

I find the schedule for P6-2B retraction rather odd. Given how hands on the last retraction was there is 5 hours of remote retraction scheduled and only 45 min of EVA retraction during EVA 2. Odd.

They discussed doing some get ahead tasks earlier that were planned for EVA 2 but they decided to leave the tasks planned for EVA 2 alone and do them on EVA 2 to keep the choreographing of EVA 2 the same as they had trained for on the ground. That is the explanation I heard from the crew to MCC-H.
This is my last post for the night everyone, fantastic coverage and screen shots, thanks!

Didn't catch the entire discussion, but I thought I heard someone talk about the choreography for the next EVA and not wanting to disrupt that too much. So perhaps that was one of the factors that was considered...

Well, the plan this time is to stop the blankets from folding the wrong way. If they can counter this early(on 116 the damage was already done), there's a good chance that it might fold well and not require so much hands-on work that the 4B SAW did.

Yeah, I heard that too, but not sure it makes a lot of sense. If they were able to remove the other couple SARJ locks while they were there, that potentially would have freed up a decent amount of contingency time to deal with array retraction problems, if they came up. Regardless, a good day in space today to be sure.

Don't forget that they spent an extra hour suited up sitting in the airlock waiting.

Why is Edwards the primary? I thought they always wanted to land at KSC to save time in the flow.
