Wanessa is in charge of MATS
works in the back room for planning
studied astronomy & physics
Applied here & was ecstatic. Spaceflight is amazing. Been here 5 years. Started in Station Side, but STS-125 mission (Hubble servicing flight) and asked to start training on the shuttle side. Was given opportunity to work on shuttle as they needed more people for Hubble mission.
Worked Hubble data when she was in college.
They work 24hrs/day in shifts, for the messages they give to the crew. Help Timeline & FAO to modify the day to accomplish all their priorities.
There is so much to do, but can always help the ISS with their requirements if needed. The packed days are fun. With space station you can breathe, but there are times when it's packed.
It's a little sad with shuttle ending. The shuttle itself is a feat, let alone the missions. A feat of humanity.
After Shuttle: Go back to my station - am a realtime planning engineer. Have that in place next week.

MPLMs: 50t brought into space, 20t back
1st big thing for this mission: provisions & supplies for the crew
Allowed 6-person crew since 2009
Can bring back science samples & experiments
Lots of different system components brought back down & re-flown
Critical components re-flown.
84% on the mid deck
Running ahead of schedule for the whole mission. Waiting for the last possible moment to pack up cold samples.
Been impressed with how they have been able to get it all accomplished. Very helpful for the ISS crew to get to work on utilization.
Hard to believe it's the last mission - been so busy.
Takes a lot of focus and hard work.
The biggest point of this mission was publishing the last transfer list
Added 9006 (over the course of shuttle to station history): Sandy Magnus, to get her on the right side of the hatch
We will have other visiting vehicles, but it will never be quite the same.

I really love the amount of humour that's occurred during this final mission, I wonder if perhaps if they weren't laughing.. they'd be crying.
