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.

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

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

Allow subject to scream. In space no one will hear.

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.

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.
