• I wonder: On the last mission in 2010, do you think the Soyuz crew will undock and do a flyaround of the completed station with the docked Shuttle in the image, like they did for Mir/Atlantis on STS-71?

• Why are the arrays 180 degrees out of sync, shouldn't the radiator be behind the array for maximum cooling in the shadow of the array?

  Why are the arrays 180 degrees out of sync, shouldn't the radiator be behind the array for maximum cooling in the shadow of the array?

  
  Uninformed here, but this is why i THINK it is:
  The arrays are in feather mode, i.e. they are not tracking the sun. By opposing them you usually have at least 1 of the arrays catching sunlight, thus not missing too much power.
  
  Anyone wanting to correct me; you're more than welcome.

  Whether they plan on it or not, they should.....

• Occasional short thruster puffs visible, too.
