Still a nice composite...though you have Columbus and Kibo on the wrong sides of Harmony. Oh well

One thing they did on or just before this mission, which I haven't seen mentioned anywhere but is clearly visible on the photos, is that they partially retracted the solar panels on Zarya. I haven't seen any approach photos of ISS (before docking) from STS 120, but the Zarya panels were fully extended at the end of Endeavour's mission in August.

The Zarya panels were retracted a few weeks before STS-120 launched. There was an article on it on Space.com

Yup - they had to retract them to make room for the deployment of two further radiators which can now happily rotate fully with a full compliment of three radiators. I assume the other side will have it's final two deployed once S6 goes up

The starboard radiators will be deployed after Harmony is moved. Kind of a clearance issue right now.

Hmm. Anybody know if extra precautions will be required for these panel redeployments in light of the malfunction? And actually, has NASA found a root cause for the hangup/tear yet?
EDIT: D'oh!!! Never mind; I read "radiators" and thought "solar arrays"... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Squinting your eyes and ignoring the white clouds, and you can imagine that THAT'S Mars that Harmony is floating above...

In case you missed it, Harmony's now in its final spot : http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n0711/1...mony/index.html
"Only" 2 more spacewalk to go to complete set up and clear next Shuttle launch yet in another 3 weeks. Incredible time for the ISS. BTW the 2 spacewalks will ne N°98 & 99 of ISS construction. -------------------- |

NASA TV reported earlier today that the port-side radiators have been fully deployed.

Hopefully this is spurious:

The spaceflight.nasa.gov website has this update, although it hasn't changed since Thursday:
"Wednesday night the Expedition 16 crew closed hatches to the vestibule between Harmony Node and Destiny Laboratory to support a second overnight leak check. When Commander Peggy Whitson opened the Destiny Lab forward hatch Thursday morning, there did not appear to be any pressure change between the Lab and the vestibule. If there had been a leak in the vestibule, a pressure drop would have been observed. Telemetry from this morning also suggested that the vestibule did not leak overnight. Specialists in Mission Control Center Houston will continue to analyze all data from both overnight leak checks." -------------------- Jonathan Ward

On the space multimedia website ( http://www.space-multimedia.nl.eu.org/inde...70&Itemid=2 ) is a lovely video of Peggy opening both hatches, drifiting into a dark Harmony, and turning the light on. It may seem a silly thing - but I don't think I've seen someone open the door, and turn on the light before
