2 minutes to the ZOE, 26 minutes to sunrise, 15 minutes to coverage with TDRS-West with KU following around 20 minutes after that, we may get some KU through TDRS-Z in the mean time.

I see Joe Tanner there seated next to Megan. Undoubtedly for the solar array retract.

Remember once again as we are in this ZOE, look at the map on NASA TV, when the complex moves south of Australia and then moves northward again and more east, KU coverage will improve again, that is about 25 minutes away , after sunrise occurs in 20 minutes.

Also, I think he was the lead astronaut coordinating the tile repair tasks and did a lot of the mock-up tests.

Now receiving KU through TDRS-Z, comm with TDRS-West is still 7 minutes away.

Why is it the ZOE when you have TV and comm?

What cover are they working on - the vent valve R&R panel?

The TDRS-Z satellite is not always available to NASA for KU coverage during missions, as it is shared with other users of the TDRS network. It is made available to NASA if the schedule of its KU use permits from other users and NASA usually scheduled KU use through it during important times like EVA etc. Normally, this KU coverage is not available during the ZOE on regular mission days. I am sure someone else here can provide a better description.

12 minutes to sunrise, 2 minutes to TDRS-West comm available (no KU yet through TDRS-West, still on TDRS-Z).

According to the comm schedule in the FD 8 execute package, we should have KU through TDRS-Z for about the next half hour or so, so we should see sunrise with it in 9 minutes.

Thanks, its TDRS-Z, stands for TDRS-Zoe of exclusion. I believe its TDRS 3 launched on STS-26 Discovery in 1988.
