Interesting note about an election, and if one of the crewmembers (didn't catch who) got the e-mail about their password and username to pass on. Anyone catch that?

I know Peggy had an email yesterday about voting I heard on the coverage. That takes absentee voting to a whole new level!

Actually, with ISS permanently manned through the last few elections, this is becoming old news.

"Focus right now is to get the stage done, ahead of making the decision on December for 122."

Orbit adjustment burn in about 1 hour 15 minutes. This brings in the extra daylight landings at KSC for tomorrow's EOM.

Right now performing comm checks through Dryden facilities. Comm checks with White Sands coming up later.

There's a throwback, I couldn't name the last time I heard those UHF pings.

2 mins from orbit adjust burn both OMS engines 100 fps burn.

Good burn and control reduces orbit to 188nm x 125 nm reducing perigee of orbit to bring 2 landing opportunities for Discovery to KSC.

Is that Nick Patrick on Capcom-duty? I'm sure I heard a British accent just now. Haven't heard him earlier in the flight.

That is! He's been on duty since the last Orbit team signed off.

Crew just getting note that the TPS is cleared for re-entry.

kimmern123 · « **Reply #73 on:** 11/06/2007 07:11 pm »

Will that be the Orbit 2 or 3 team? And has Bryan Lunney held his Entry briefing yet? I haven't had the time to keep myself updated today so bear with me

I believe the team was orbit 2. And I also believe the crew brief was held earlier (for the crew only, not public).

Also a note, KU Band stowage in 50 minutes.

Yeah, posh accent Nick.

Didn't just happen (the clearing of the vehicle, as I wrote this morning).

For the record, from L2:

Yeah, I was just mentioning that they just got the call.
