 * Note: A decision on whether to transfer regenerative system racks to the new Tranquility Node 3 during docked operations is dependent on the required run time for the newly installed Water Recovery System hardware; if rack transfers are approved during docked operations, they would occur on an additional docked day, which would be a newly inserted Flight Day 11; a final decision would occur no earlier than the end of Flight Day 6; if rack transfers to Tranquility do not occur during docked operations, they would occur in stage operations for the station crew.

 * Returned the planned timeline, as planned timeline has been saved in many previous STS mission Discussion pages as for comparision of planned to actual... excellant to put a copy in main article and commented out until referenced material can be added as time goes on. Removing material from Discussion pages are not to removed, but can be archived. LanceBarber (talk) 05:31, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Launch photos
There is an awful lot of launch photos, do we really need them all? In my opinion 1 or 2 photos would be sufficent to demonstrate what happened during launch.-- Navy Blue84  19:28, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

I guess it depends on the purpose of the pictures. Every shuttle launch pretty much looks the same, save the time of day and the specific vehicle. On the extreme opposite side of the spectrum, we might argue that each launch takes takes place during a distinct absolute time, every moment of the launch from T to when the shuttle disappears from view is slightly different, and the launch certainly looks different from different locations (compare the shots from the causeway and Titusville with ones from the various non-public venue). Additionally, there is some difference between public domain NASA photography and properly licensed third-party photography, though I'm not sure if that consideration is very pressing with regard to wikipedia. I don't think that the section is overflowing yet, though of course I am an interested party to this discussion. Whatever the outcome and whatever the determined purpose of these pictures, I think we should make sure shot should stay. It's just an awesome shot. Shane Lin (talk) 21:19, 9 February 2010 (UTC)


 * I was thinking keep photos 1,2 and 7 and then keep 2 of 4,5 or 6. I think 6 photos of the same thing is a little over board. Your right, each launch is unique, but putting too many photos in an article makes it long and IMO might turn people off. I don't think its overflowing, I just think its a little too much, don't want to over do it.-- Navy Blue84  22:14, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep 2 or 3, put all 6 and future pics in a new Commons, LanceBarber (talk) 05:24, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Here is a link to the screenshots from NASA TV during the mission, if anyone finds them useful, there is a mission time in the name of file :

Damage spotted on Endeavour's Thermal Protection System
A German news station (n-tv) just reported that NASA spotted damage on Endeavour's TPS. Sadly, they don't have the report on their homepage. Does anyone have another source for that? -- 78.43.93.25 (talk) 13:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)


 * There is 2 minor spots, one is a crack on a tile that had been repaired on the ground. The other is a ceramic insert on one of the windows. Only concern for the second one is that it will fly out and damage the OMS pod or stabilizer during re-entry. Its too early to tell if it is really going to be a problem or if anything needs to be done. NASA managers have deemed it a low concern.-- Navy Blue84  15:01, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
