The ATV can't do racks - because it docks to the Russian side, and the russian hatches are smaller than a full rack - you've got to dock to one of the large US hatches, so it'll be via MPLM's, or possibly HTV, or possibly Dragon.

The ATV can't do racks... You're absolutely right, for all the reasons you gave. I knew there was something that felt not right about the ATV bringing up US racks when I typed it. Thanks for setting me straight. Today is EVA #2, and as I write the airlock is being depressurized. On tap today are:

EVA #2 concluded after about 7 hours and 11 minutes today. All the planned tasks were completed, and additionally the port SARJ was inspected. The point of this activity was to compare/contrast this healthy SARJ with the damaged one.
There was some unexpected grease seen in this SARJ, but apparently that isn't raising any concerns for the engineers on the ground... at least not at this point. -------------------- - Matt
