I have being so busy looking at the tracking on STSPLUS, I forget, did they get the rail stop up on the S3 rail for the MT, I though they had problems with it, is that correct?

If we're thinking of the same thing, then yes. Finally got that done.
Thanks Matt, good to hear!
It is a little tough to watch two windows at one time, listening to the NASA TV audio and typing at the same time, sorry everyone if some of my comments do not make much sense at times.

3 minutes to sunrise, KU through Z should end shortly after sunrise, so a heads up for no KU soon.

Sunrise in about 1 minute, passing directly south of Australia, you can thank TDRS-Z for all this bonus coverage as the complex's orbit angle is very sharp and steep in relation to TDRS-Z which helps improve KU coverage.

We got tons of Ku on that Orbit.
Hope this cycle continues!

Yes, after I give kudos to TDRS-Z, we pass out of range of TDRS-Z KU, next KU pass will be through TDRS-West in about 15 minutes or so (give or take 5 minutes either side of this estimate). We are under TDRS-West for the next 40 minutes, sunset on this pass is 54 minutes away at 5:23 PM EDT (9:23 PM GMT).

Zach, it should for a few more orbits before the EVA ends, keep your fingers crossed but we are always prone to unplanned KU blockage etc.

Passing south and east of New Zealand, some ratty comm through S-band (voice comm), KU will improve again in about 10 minutes or so as the complex moves northeast again towards TDRS-West located at 175 degrees West over the equator.

17 minutes from passing the equator moving northeast starting orbit 142 then, 47 minutes to sunset, 32 minutes to TDRS-West comm loss and handover to East.

The next ZOE pass is 12 minutes long when we get to it, now we have KU through TDRS-West again and expect to have it for about 30 more minutes when we hand over to East.
