If this was somewhere else, I haven't found it... Anyway, PAO just announced that Atlantis has the heaviest mid-deck load out ever for both launch and entry on STS-122.

Yeah, Bob Dempsey mentioned that during today's Mission Status Briefing. He said it was ONE OF (not THE) heaviest going up, and IS the heaviest coming down. I believe the mass was 2400 lbs. It might have been 1400 lbs., but I think that was the water transfer number.

Wake up was at 11:53 PM CST. The song was Over the Rainbow (not the Wizard of Oz version) sent by Dan Tani's wife.

After 2010, when the station is up and running with 6 astronauts, doing scientific research much more than today, a internal downmass of 10kg per Soyuz (40kg per year) will be enough. And no external downmass at all. Simply amazing.

Potentially moving up the undocking 10 minutes or so, because of arrays feathering being faster than usual. Right now, taking test distance measurements.

ISS crew are awake, have performed their DPC and started more Columbus outfitting. They also have some off-duty time after these hectic days.

The determining factor to undock is now the feathering of the Russian arrays, that can be as early as 10 minutes before the scheduled undock time, or as late as only 2 minutes before that time.
10 minutes of Ku after planned undock time.

Go for undocking sequence initiation (3 minutes earlier than the expected time)
