  A microphone in space, attached to the outside of the ISS?
  
  

  Shit, you're too fast, just wanted to ask, too ;-)

• One of the EVA comm antennas on top of Destiny.

• Plenty of Hi Res imagery will be taken - that's the purpose of the fly-around - ISS Survey..

  ...and the third one What are they?

• You're going to miss this in 2010 onwards.

• Sorry if I missed this discussion, but why do the radiators on S4 and P4 point in opposite directions?
• #174 by pippin on 19 Jun, 2007 15:51
• as much as it's floating around I would guess it's inside the airlock
• #175 by Spiff on 19 Jun, 2007 15:52
• Now, was that a very big thing gently floating past ISS, or a very small thing (dust or so) in the shuttle docking adapter that just got loose?
• #176 by Chris Bergin on 19 Jun, 2007 15:52
• Controllers noting several objects observed between ISS and Shuttle (untagged) - waiting for more.
  
  Visiable on the TV. No one is noting what they are yet, but likely ice I'd guess.

• Reminded me of Dr. Frank Pool in 2001... HAL get the pod ready for launch...
• #178 by Ford Mustang on 19 Jun, 2007 15:52
• Another chunk of ice.. and bigger?
