910 feet sep.

Emily on the big loop:

"I just wanted to pass on our thanks from the ISS team. We've enjoyed the fun you've included us in on during the mission. Wish a safe trip for Atlantis."

Response: "Couldn't of done it without you sister."

Oleg: "Have a safe trip back, God speed."

Respose: "Remember to relax before you thump" (Soyuz landing heh).

"Are we going to see you on the runway Emily?"

"Depends which runway".

1400 feet sep at 3fps.

Atlantis' flag on show in the FCR.

I didn't think I'd get sentimental watching Atlantis fly away from the ISS for the final time, but I am.

I hope everyone here can join me in raising a virtual glass to a great Orbiter.
Thanks for helping to build the ISS, Atlantis!

Now over 5,000 (nearly a mile) sep from ISS. 4 fps.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #247 on:** 05/23/2010 05:02 pm »

Totally agree.

Two minutes to the burn.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #250 on:** 05/23/2010 05:05 pm »

Good config for the burn.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #251 on:** 05/23/2010 05:06 pm »

Burn in progress (adding the same shot, as you can see the screen on the right).

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #252 on:** 05/23/2010 05:07 pm »

Good burn. Last major task of the day.

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #253 on:** 05/23/2010 05:08 pm »

Oops, someone's accidentially deleted a card with 138 images on it. Told to bag the original card and they'll try and recover it on the ground.

Kenn: "This is exactly why we should fly as many cards as we can."

Capcom: "I know, our bad".

Good to see they are only human

Aobrien · « **Reply #258 on:** 05/23/2010 05:31 pm »

Wow MCC took that very well for potentially loosing 138 images!
