Wait... where'd Discovery go? Oh yeah...

Everything is ready for the upcoming FCS check-out. It's scheduled to start at MET 013:18:45.

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

DaveS · « **Reply #8 on:** 11/06/2007 09:22 am »

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.

APU 1 for FCS check-out. GPS self-test is not required.

DaveS · « **Reply #11 on:** 11/06/2007 09:42 am »

GO for APU start.

DaveS · « **Reply #12 on:** 11/06/2007 09:43 am »

MMACS reports a good start of APU-1.

DaveS · « **Reply #13 on:** 11/06/2007 09:47 am »

GO for APU shut down.

DaveS · « **Reply #15 on:** 11/06/2007 10:46 am »

RCS hotfire completed, everything looked good. 4 minutes from a 5 minute LOS.

Question: the 11:03 ET briefing is for the crew, right? It's not a briefing for us?
