16 minutes to sunrise, about 48 minutes left in this TDRS-West pass, as they move southeast towards Australia, KU coverage should improve, right now comm is still ratty as the complex is blocking the direct comm path to TDRS-West. That is all the updates that I can give for now, I have to do other work, keep up the great coverage everyone!

Caution tone!
Sounds not to be anything as Suni wants to use the IP phone on this Ku pass.

Quick question: When will the solar arrays be connected to the space station's power supply? BTW: As a nine-year-old when Apollo 11 landed I was blown away last night by the spacewalk videos - awesome to see it in real-time and a little bit scary - they packed so much in in 6 hours and seemed so close to catching their suits/gloves on things

Pretty much right away. 14kw added, then they lose 7kw when they retract one of the other arrays.

Russian Computer problem, they cant use thrusters while they are fixing it. Arrays feathered for Shuttle DAP
Nonstandard transfer to CMGs to get it off of Orbiter Control.
Low Power was the issue in that Alarm tone.

Very smooth S4 array deployment!

On the NASA video they said 32kW per arm ( approx 60kW for both sides) - You say 14kW additional before they retract the old ones - which is nearer reality?

Per arm? That's nonsensical for a start. NASA PAO is not your friend.
Each array adds 7. So 14 were added today. 7 will be taken away by one retraction.

Thanks - it did seem a lot of power from those solar panels I must admit

Any word on the handover to CMG?
Also, anybody have a ballpark on how long the batteries can last while the arrays are feathered? are we talking a few hours? a day?
