Matt Abbot now polling for a GO/NO-GO for the T.I. Burn.

UPDATE: It's a GO. About three hours until docking.

T.I. burn will be a ten-second firing of the orbiter's right OMS engine. About 5.5 minutes away.

Discovery 8 miles behind the station.

Anybody catch if they are burning PROP,FILTER or GROUND solution for the burn?

(Can't have the NTV audio on at the moment).

I heard them call up the GROUND numbers a while ago.

Yes this is usual, The RNDZ checklist gives instructions on which of the 3 solutions to burn. The grounds solution (given no serious navigation inaccuracies) is usually the least accurate solution.

About an hour and 15 minutes away from Discovery coming up on the R-Bar below the ISS.

Excellent, today is going really well.

Discovery chasing the ISS, about 9 feet per second faster at this moment.

Around 41,000 feet away:

The shape of ISS is becoming more and more clear. Heading into orbital night.
