  NASA's tracking are not accurate - the speed of the orbiter should be going down not going up, its impossible to be at 17721 MPH especially through EI
• #121 by Ford Mustang on 20 Feb, 2008 12:43
• Roll Reversal to left, about 80 degree roll.

  I see the speed dropping now but I agree its odd Ill discontinue posting this.

  The PAO often confuses MPH and FPS. They meant FPS in this case.

  Not necessarily true.  It is going in a lower orbit which will have a higher velocity.  It won't slow until drag slows it down
