Yes, they're shown on the CCTV monitors on the aft flightdeck. The various FDFs that make use of the cameras includes pan/tilt settings and CG images of the correct view.
I'm pretty sure that it works the same way as the RMS SINGLE JOINT switch.
Nice work! Could you post a shot of it from the above?
Here's a better shot from STS-131: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-131/hires/s131e006074.jpg
I feared that the crease angle had been altered on the DEA. Dial it back to something below 45 so that it doesn't have the shading it does now.
It's supposed to. It's nothing than a rectangular metal box containing wires and circuit-boards. The Ku band system failure on STS-131 was traced to a broken transistor inside the DEA which required the DA to be R&R'ed.
Less please. Right now the edges are invisible. The edges on the DEA are sharp edges, not smooth ones.
That's what I meant. Less on the crease angle setting so the sharp edges appears.
The DEA itself is not covered in mylar foil. The DEA is covered by with the same type of silvered Teflon insulation as the PLB radiator panels for thermal purposes.
The DEA (Deployed Electronics Assembly) is the main structure of the DA. It's the large rectangular box that supports the gimbal booms and the dish.
Excellent. I can't see anything else that needs to be added.
Here's the current animation data:
