Robert up first on Late Inspection:
Mike: Spent some time reviewing all the inspection imagery. Plan is to perform normal procedures. Will skip the tile surveys and concentrate on RCC. Happy with ascent imagery, FD2 inspections, RPM, and the EVA-1 imagery. Just need to do the standard orbital debris inspections.
And on flyaround - and Atlantis' last time.
Mike: We always capture the shuttle departing. We haven't found the need to provide any special images of Atlantis (for her last time).
Philip's there
on the O2 transfers and consumables.
Mike: Any consumables we can't transfer we augument...so we have three extension days worth of capability, any additional would be added to the third day (would take a lot more to make four days). Specialists are reviewing the O2 transfer problem, with a plan this afternoon.

Breaking up phone line, didn't hear it.
Mike worked it out: Idea is to undock at the end of the day, and inspections the following day. In the past we (have done it differently). Teams thought it best to undock three days before we land.
No additional cargo on the ICC, past that which was planned.
Irene: Info on transfers.
Mike: We have all the EMUs. Stowage items, UPA hardware and water from those systems, trash, clothing etc.
On Atlantis' performance from the Aussie guy:
Mike: Atlantis has been a remarkable vehicle and is on the mission right now. We had a problem with the OBSS PTU was an easy task, a few smaller glitches. But Atlantis being a well designed vehicle continues to perform very well and we're very greatful for that.
Notes he doesn't get much of a chance to see launches due to his Houston roles, but has an opportunity to go see the landing. I spoke to the flow director and I promised to bring her back safely.
(That was a nice way to end it).

That FD8 article image is awesome, would have made a great desktop image. Too bad NASA didn't release those images. Seriously the coolest in orbit photo of the shuttle I've seen in a long while.

Stitch perhaps?

Thanks!

STS-132 on orbit image dump on L2:
http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=21663.0 - Ron created some stitches on that thread out of about 30mb of raw images.
Thought it was wonderful, so cropped it and share with the article, so I'm glad people like it. (Note there's a larger version by going via the front page
www.nasaspaceflight.com as the preview)
