No it isn't. Don't trust the graphics, they're wrong and inaccurate and they still show the fully extended 2B SAW, which is no longer the case.
different attitude with respect to P4. Obviously, because P6 is still in the way.
They're down to about 15.5 bays when the minimum requirement is 19.5 bays. -

Yes. And they still hasn't made decision on when that one is coming off. It might be either on stage EVA or they're going to have the 118 EVs do it.

1/2 bay retracts for inspection.
When it happens. -

Mmmm... but leaving it for 118 would mean only keep-alive power for the S4 arrays. With P4 available, there'd be enough power for the modules in orbit (as was when only P6 was there), but that would probably delay the FGB array retract planned for July, wouldn't it? Besides, it's only removing 1 launch lock, that task would probably fit in EVA 3 or 4... just my view though, I suppose they'll do the most rational thing

Recommendation from CJ is to do half-bay retracts to catch any slack guide wires early.

And that launch is (potentially) only 8 weeks from today. -

Launch restraint not launch lock and there is still the question of the DLAs wireing. Not until after the next EVA at the soonest. -

They're going to attempt another wiggle, and we're about 40 minutes away from the next retract attempt.

I will try to provide some updates to sunrise/sunset and possible KU times during this array retraction attempt, then after this attempt is done for the day, I'll try to catch up on the coverage on what I missed yesterday during the EVA.
Currently have KU through TDRS-West, handover to TDRS-East available in 2 Minutes (more KU available on TDRS-East this pass). Sunset on this pass is 52 minutes away at 2:53 PM EDT (6:53 PM GMT).

Wiggle is about to start.

Since the retract attempts will occur around the same time of the Mission Status briefing at 2:30 PM EDT, I wonder if they will preempt the retract coverage for it, or put the MSB on the NASA TV Media channel, any one have any ideas? Nevermind Kylie (NASA PAO) provided my answer, sorry everyone.

Now approaching orbital noon on this pass (sun directly overhead the complex), sunset is 42 minutes away, TDRS-West KU coverage for 10 minutes, TDRS-East KU coverage should continue after this, sounds like we are on station KU, shuttle KU is ratty right now due to blockage.
