Here is an update on the April 9 ISS image. By informing a reliable contact at NASA, the information was found that the SPDM (Robot Dextre) is grappled by the Canadarm in this picture. This explains the relative big structure visible at the end of the arm. Dextre has been holding Oribital Replacement Units (ORU’s) that were flown up by the HTV. Last week and this week, the units have been installed on a pallet brought up by flight ULF-5. So actually this is my first image showing the actual entire Mobile Servicing System (MSS)! http://freeimagehosting.nl/pics/e0398614af6a41e42aecdebd11bf6cb9.jpg Ralf Vandebergh From: Ralf Vandebergh Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 2:41 PM To: SeeSat-L@satobs.org Subject: ISS OBS, 2011-4-9 Here is an ISS observation from the 9th. SSRMS visible at a special position (I wonder if there is any special activity planned) ‘Special’ means at least a for me unusual visible position). Soyuz TMA-20 nicely visible with solar panels at its docked position on the Rassvet module: http://freeimagehosting.nl/pics/9797ee2cf66574c26b6511a162d47dc3.jpg Ralf Vandebergh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
