Talking about transfers with Sandy
CONFIRMED: Sandy is on the right side of the hatch, they had to use duct tape to make sure

Been a very good docked mission. That's the main thing. Get Atlantis and her crew home safe now. Tick off the priorities.

Talking about transfers with Sandy
That's Jeremy Owen, the lead transfer officer in the Shuttle FCR...Sandy was Transfer Item 9006.
Apparently duct tape also has some transfer uses, too.
(See the note in the execute package on why 9006.)

All mid-deck re-supply complete.
Chris - "We had to duct tape her but she's on the right side now."
Sandy - "I would be in organizational heaven for months if you'd left me up here!"
Going through other return items.
All transfer is complete for this mission and this program.

For such an historic event that was the fastest farewell/hatch closure I've ever seen. We didn't even see the hatch close. Sandy jumped into the shuttle and started rattling off the middeck restocking checklist before the afterglow had even settled in. Not much time for sentiment.

Last hatch closure from Shuttle docked to the ISS.
Hard to believe we will be seeing no more.
:-(

Jeremy certainly has some emotion in his voice, almost broke up.
I agree with the speed of the event, it did seem rushed, but they were behind schedule a tad, maybe thats why it was hurried.

It's definitely still a cramped timeline, and the ground called up earlier that they wanted to get the transfer tagup done before hatch close.

Remember, PMA-2 will remain pressurised in order to take on its new role as a stowage closet. I wonder whether they'll close the Node 2 Forward hatch, or leave it open?

I think it's kinda neat how everything timed out on this mission. Hatch closure on the first day of the last week of the careers of many, like the beginning of the final leg of our missions, the Shuttle and technicians. Be able to watch her land and taxi into the barn the day before I process out. Have a safe trip Atlantis, we'll be waiting for you at home.....

Working on closing the hatch
You can see the shuttle model in the top left
Apparently duct tape also has some transfer uses, too.
