Attitude change and repositioning of SAWs are visible on screen, in preparation for ARB.

They're discovering problems with the brakes on the SAWs. And they were also dealing with a plumbing problem.

The parking orbit for Apollo was approximately 100 nautical miles; the one for Artemis is near-geosynchronous.

ARB is now in progress. So is the press briefing. Should be complete by now.

They've just finished the precision maneuvering test and are backing off from the ICPS, which seems like a good moment for me to call it a night.
