All of the electrical support boxes successfully went into place without incident. For a while it appeared that Part 146-147-148 on the IPS gimbal was at risk of being broken off. With all of the electrical support boxes and the igloo attached to the pallet, the telescope can now be attached to the ISP without the fear of the telescopes getting damaged. Some details to remember: the circular base of the ISP has a cutout and a “flat spot” which is the bottom in the stowed position. Likewise, WUPPE and the OSP-IRS assembly is also on the bottom when stowed as in the attached photo. I did not paint any of the cables on the pallet simply because I could only see short sections here and there in the photos but had no idea where the cables began or where they ended. All that is left to do is the STS-67 mission specific GAS canisters and the EDO.
