Officially classed as an FOD. Requests for analysis may be forthcoming (this is off the loop we use on L2 - which is what the managers, controllers, techs and engineers etc "speak" on - well they type anyway).
It's the cylons, I did warn you all
Stunning pictures, thanks so much.

And then stationkeeping at a 46 mile distance.

Thanks a bunch, guys. I appreciate this a lot. Glad we (joint operation between all the people here, NASA web-stream, and a fast internet connection) could make your home (and archive) with the mission of STS-117 that much better!

I'll admit I don't know. I was repeating what the NASA TV narrator said. But doesn't NASA generally use nautical miles?

You're going to miss this in 2010 onwards.
I figure Soyuz, Dragon, RPK ad Orion could get similar shots.....
Soyuz seldom does. Dragon and RPK? If they ever leave the drawing board. Orion? Well, lets wait 8 or 9 years
Great pictures. They show what has been done. This is truly an achievement. But many will lament we are going in circles, in LEO. I don't.

There are notes that the flyaround used more RCS prop than expected. It's been evaluated.

Sounds remarkably similar to the Atlantis/ISS station keeping prop useage. Do they have a leak?

If they have it must be a slow leak... I'd expect any major leak to trip a Master Caution alarm.
