Can the ATV actually provide attitude control? From where would it get its commands?
Not in the current dversion, but it was designed as a flexible platform. Deriving an attitude-control-system from the current design should be no problem:
Needs a different berthing port and probably different attitude thrusters. Maybe they want to use higher quality EEE parts, too, for longer docking time.

I really enjoyed reviewing the OMS pod blanket repairs in today's execute package – complete with pictures! Did it remind anyone else of the Apollo 13 CO2 scrubber modifications?
A few questions from the execute package:
1. They reference at least five medical staplers. Just how many are onboard? How many medical staplers could you need for normal operations?
2. Do they have the dental tool onboard for dental work or just because it is a handy all-purpose tool?
3. From the transfer notes: “… due to mission extension, you’ll be swapping your used LiOH with 3 new cans from ISS (used LiOH is being left on ISS because there is no Middeck room to return it).” -- Really? How big are those canisters? I find it hard to believe that there is absolutely no room left in some locker somewhere on Atlantis??
Thanks to all for the great info and discussions.

We have a complete (and I mean complete) overview presentation going into L2. We'll do a full preview of this tonight as an article.

C.J. advising the ground to stop with the retraction for now. He would like to see a crew member out there before they do any more work.

You can wiggle all day or you wiggle at night
Wiggle anytime that you feel right
You wiggle clause it's real or
You wiggle 'cause it's fake
You wiggle like a lizard
Or wiggle like a snake
