As usual, do not expect KU to resume on TDRS-West until the station passes Australia and New Zealand and starts to move more north and east towards TDRS-West, we may get KU back before sunrise on this pass which will occur about 8 minutes from now, no promises on that however due to the station's orientation right now.

6 minutes to sunrise, 32 minutes left of comm on TDRS-West, 64 minutes to the next ZOE pass.

According to the FD 10 summary timeline in the execute package, STS KU is available right now but we do not have it either due to blockage of the KU signal with the station or the EVA crew is in the way of the KU signal and it is turned off on the shuttle, okay ignore that, MCC-H says we should have KU in a minute or two.

We are starting a 56 minute daylight pass now, sunset will be at around 2:21 PM EDT (6:21 PM GMT), 25 minutes of comm through TDRS-West including periods of KU before handover to TDRS-East.

Okay I am going to try to update my two-line elements to provide more accurate predicts with STSPLUS as I track STS-117, we are approaching orbit 140 when we pass the equator this pass.

Short interruption of KU has occurred just as it is shown in the FD 10 execute package for orbit 139.
I am referring the gap in the white bar for the comm coverage of TDRS-West for orbit 139.
KU is now back, expect KU to continue until handover to TDRS-East in about 18 minutes.

Thanks Zach, my two line elements do need to be updated, thanks for the link!
