[FPSPACE] First light ...new array........... poor quality ;O(

[John Locker]

Up very early this morning ( 0430 gmt ) to prepare for a low elevation pass 
of ISS

Sky was clear but thin high cloud was pressing in
Venus and Nars were clear....................

However as pass time appraoched the inevitable happened and the cloud /fog 
thickened

I managed to catch our first glimpse of the new array and Harmony , but only 
through gaps in the cloud.
The station was no where near the -3.7 predicted...in fact I would say it 
was -2 at best

Pass time was  0552GMT

Havnt checked yet but it looks like the starboard array is not rotatating , 
but  port is ( Is is the starbaord that has been disconnected until the 
problems are sorted? )
