Has there been any comments about giving those spots on the leading edge where they thought there might have been an impact (Day 3 or Day 4?) some extra attention, or is this just going to be the standard scan?

Yeah, all WLEDS (Wing Leading Edge Dectection System) "hits" are logged and they get to have a better look during this, but as mentioned at the time, the "hits" were so small they might of not even been "hits". It's such a sensitive system that a lot of things can set it off.
The max we saw over the mission was 1.5g and that's really nothing.

Five hours since undocking. Nearly completed step 2 of 7 for Starboard wing OBSS scanning.
Some video has been downlinked off the ISS from Atlantis which will be replayed at the top of the hour.

PAO's forgotten to mention it, but we're coming up to the end of step 3 of 7 for starboard wing:

Looks like they've found something of interesting. Asking for a photograph.

Why are some of the areas very dark?

Did anyone catch that scrape on the RCC? Just saw it on the OBSS camera.

They do that mostly at the end of each run. Nothing to worry about when that's requested.

New tiles (which replace any older tiles that may of been slighty damaged) added to the TPS during post flight/pre-flight processing. They are actually tougher tiles than the previous. You can spot them all over the orbiter's belly as the dark spots.

Hope ABCNews doesn't hear of this or they'll report the shuttle is in peril....

After the burn, which is done, Atlantis now moving away at:
3.1 nautical miles
2.7 statute miles
PER ORBIT.
It must be vice versa - 2.7 nautical miles, 3.1 statute miles, as nautical mile is longer!
2.7 nm = 5.0 km
3.1 st.mi = 5.0 km (bot rounded to the one decimal place)

There were some issues with digital video on the WLE Scans after Launch.. Has that been corrected? The scans we're seeing now look much more like what we've seen as nominal on other flights for both post-ascent and MMOD checks..

There's the Tie Fighter replay. Hopefully George Lucas will use it when he makes the next set of Star Wars films. There's a fundraising idea for NASA
