From what we were told about cryo margin, in terms of oxygen, there is not enough for the mission to last until EOM+2. The exact words were that a Friday landing was not possible. Which is the correct info?
Who told you that and what background info came with it?
This was from a FD 11 or 12 press briefing which also announced how much oxygen had been transferred to the ISS but I am not in a position to trawl through them to get the exact details. It was said that there was only 8 hours of O2 available past Thursday so a Friday landing would not be possible. Hopefully someone else will have remembered this.

Questioner: Would you be worried if the Navy shoots the satellite down?
Frick: No, very different orbits. The satellite orbits much lower than us, the only concern is that we travel through that orbit during deorbit.

Questioner: Were you able to grieve about your mother in full, Dan?
Dan: It was what it was, I was doing my job, which was working on the ISS. I don't know if I've grieved or not, once we get on the ground, it might get worse, who knows.. it was what it was, only time will tell.

I'm guessing they misspoke, as L2 data confirms they have +2 days available.

Expecting another omega bend in the radiator hose, crew to record closure, for bend footage. Crew will also give a verbal call. Nominal de-orbit procedures. PROP is okay without the vernier jets, no impact to landing tomorrow.

Me neither. :cool:
Only 26 days until we see live shots from Endeavour, though. Not too long of a wait!
