WHen I watched the landing, I noticed there seemed to be a slight lag on the dropping of the right landing gear. I had never noticed a difference between the two before. I thought it seemed a bit curious.
I noticed that too. The left one dropped like a brick, really quick!

hmm you're right. I just watched the reply and there is a noticable albeit small difference in deploy times. interesting question as to whehter this is typical or is this somewhat abnormal.

I wouldn't be surprised; alot of aircraft have asynchronous gear extension, to save hydraulic pressure...

Many congratulations to Atlantis and crew, NASA and contractors and this site (especially the L2 coverage which was outstanding).

Perhaps the uplock hook for that was a little slower in releasing...

re OMS pod closeup.. I know the shot is not high quality but is that just a dark spot or did that blanket peel back a bit again?

I imagine it'll be a bit before we know for sure, but the dark area could just be the cluster of pins Danny installed.

Hard to tell...hopefully we'll get close-ups between now and when the crew leaves the runway...

Only had the (in)famous White Sands Video for comparison at hand, but FWIW. both, left and right main gear extend simultaneously as Columbia comes in there. But then again, we can hardly call that landing "nominal" anyways.....

Do any of you have an idea about how long it will be before the crew disembark?
