Good morning Discovery!

The wake-up song was "Space Truckin'" by Deep Purple, played for Clay Anderson.

1 minute away from a 5 minute LOS. Have some deltas on the FCS check-out when they go AOS on the other side.

Coming up later today is an orbit adjust burn which will use both OMS engines to decrease the low point of Discovery's orbit to 124.7 n.mi. The delta V is 100 FPS with a burn time of 56 seconds. Currently the low point of Discovery's orbit is 180.9 n.mi.

That burn as a TIG of of 014:04:16:28.
