Astronaut Mike Fossum inspected the space station's port Solar Alpha Rotary Joint, or SARJ. After removing a cover, he described "features that run along the ring" as lines. "I do not see any sign of metal shavings like we had on the other side. This is a lot cleaner. This is not the kind of surface damage that we had on the other side." Fossum is taking photographs of the area he inspected. Before closing the cover, he said "It's a smear. The inboard light gray line is grease."
