• We are now on TDRS-East KU coverage, not sure how long we will have it as I don't have a station KU timeline, only the shuttle's and I am not sure who is providing the KU right now (shuttle or station side), I think it is through the station KU as the shuttle KU for this pass is very poor.

• 26 minutes left of TDRS East coverage, this does not mean we have 26 minutes of KU, we will lose KU first before we lose TDRS-East coverage, 23 minutes of sunlight before sunset.

• Ooooooo the shuttle is squishy...
  
  Great job....
  
  Now not to play the speculation card here, but does that apparent hole still in the insulation after it was placed back indicate possible MMOD?
