Some discussion back and forth led Kelly to conclude that if the glare was minor, he prefers to use 15.

Is that because that's what he's trained on most or something?

Approximately 2hr 50 mins away from Deorbit burn (should the 'GO' be given).

Go for payload bay door closure

MCC 'GO' for Payload bay door closure.

Probably because for 15 it's a left turn in the HAC and CDR's get a better view out the window turning left...

Payload bay doors confirmed closed and latched.

Discovery being manoeuvred to post payload bay door closing 'comm' attitude.

DPS ENTRY CONFIG (D/O PREP 1-2) due at TIG-02:15

Moonbase_Alphan · « **Reply #28 on:** 06/14/2008 11:50 am »

transitioning to OPS 301

kneecaps · « **Reply #29 on:** 06/14/2008 11:52 am »

Looks like DPS ENTRY CONFIG was already in work. MCC confirms ready for the 'OPS 301 PRO'.

This loads the OPS 3 (Entry) flight guidance software into Discovery's GPCs. 4 GPCs have been configured with the Primary flight software (PASS) with the 5th (as usual) running the BFS (Backup Flight System) software.

Moonbase_Alphan · « **Reply #30 on:** 06/14/2008 11:55 am »

GPC set expansion config has now been set and a second OPS301 performed to include them

kneecaps · « **Reply #31 on:** 06/14/2008 11:56 am »

EDIT: Correction...Moonbase_Alphan has it right...the second 'OPS 301 PRO' was just given.

The following should be in work any moment:

The BFS computer (GPC 5) has been given a go for 'OPS 301 PRO' This serves the same purpose as the previous 'OPS 301 PRO' however this time it is for the BFS machine.

landing runway will be switched to KSC 15

Deorbit burn targets and possibly a State Vector update just uplinked.

CDR given go to perform the LOAD of the targets and initiate the timer for the burn.

Moonbase_Alphan · « **Reply #34 on:** 06/14/2008 12:03 pm »

no state vector uplink. that will come about 45 minutes prior to the d/o burn. The crew was given the go to take GPS into both the PASS and BFS though.

kneecaps · « **Reply #35 on:** 06/14/2008 12:03 pm »

Deorbit Prep page 1-13 completed. DEL PAD being called up any moment.

Deorbit C/L Rev P PCN 7 has a SV Update along with the loads..I have no way to know if it was actually done.

gotcha.
I do have a way to know if the uplink was done, and we didn't do it. ;-)

AWESOME! Thanks.

DEORBIT pad call up was lacking some detail for some reason. I'll just type what was called:

OMS BOTH.
TIG: 13/17:08:00.0
RCS I'CNT: NONE
TGO: 2:34
Notes: Treat PRI fail on L OMS as Second failure.

(I'm sure they usually provide WT, VGOs and ATTs here)
