Okay finally back after my own "LOS" (loss of signal) period with our forum coverage here! Just have some on and off KU coverage through TDRS-Z at the moment, 2 minutes to sunrise! Give me a few minutes to get organized again for coverage. Thanks for the great updates everyone!

Weird... how can we see the beams of light? Was there a waste water dump?

Sunrise!

This intermittent KU is probably caused by station blockage as we start to move away from TDRS-Z.

I used to think the panel retraction EVA images were the coolest... That was until this afternoon's OMS repair.

Hazing on the shuttle window. -

I was thinking the same, but it's probably a camera lens artifact. If you look closely, the lights are pointing almost perpendiculary from the "beams". I think those beams are just reflections.

Fluffing the array

We are in sunlight now and will be for the next 56 minutes until 7:48 PM EDT (11:48 PM GMT). We are back in TDRS-West coverage for the next 47 minutes and we should have KU through the West a little later in this pass, right now we still have KU through TDRS-Z if I look at the FD 8 comm timeline.

Got it.... the "beams" are nowhere near aligned with the helmet lights. -

Another Retract -

We have just moved out of KU comm with TDRS-Z as expected, I expect we should have some KU through TDRS-West within 10 minutes or so, so be patient, KU will improve as we move northeast of New Zealand.

40 minutes left of coverage with TDRS-West, 47 minutes to sunset on this pass, we will be on orbit 112 when we pass the equator.

OK.... how about this for a new rule... no more exclamation points for “ABORT!”
With this new careful retraction process, we’re going to have a lot of aborts.
