• Mr Knight and his team:
  
  "You'll get an APU alarm, no action required. It's working great, just elevated pressure in the drain line."

• Did not hear anything, but with a shaky internet can't be sure.  FRCS dump complete?

  There is no Boundary Layer DTO on Atlantis.
  

  
  Hmm, it was mentioned on the HYTHIRM document on L2, maybe it will just be a control test?

• Will lose entry COMM in about 9 minutes, due to plasma.  Should get COMM back 6 minutes later.  Certainly get it back by the first roll reversal (21:22).  Handing down to Dryden at 21:26.
