Great tribute to the orbiters
Are the numbers for Atlantis and Endeavour for time in space correct?
I think for Atlantis is about 307+ days while Endeavour it is 296+
Also before the mission, no of satellites deployed by Atlantis was 14. So if the pico satellite deployed during STS-135 is classed as a satellite, the number must be 15?

Call from a couple of minutes ago on antennas -- they're going to try to avoid the dropouts on the Lower Right Forward by going manually to Lower Left Forward in about 25 minutes and then back to auto (GPC) about 12 minutes after that.

Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy this orbit. Thirty years comes down to one orbit.

Fergy - "Hey great news Butch, thanks. Go for the de-orbit burn maneuver on time."

This doesn't feel like a shuttle landing - no last minute worries about the weather.

These stats seem to be correct ones for the orbiters. I also calculated using NASA data, and agree well

I ran the numbers and posted here:

There's been some variation in the details depending on the source.

Sorry, just came out as I was posting, didn't plan it, just imagined it. If any vehicle's going to have a soul it's these orbiters.

The 21,152nd and final orbit of the Earth by the space shuttle if I did my calculations right. 30 years, all down to a few more minutes.

I did! Wow, that was real close too, don't think I've seen a pass that far north. She'd of been directly over South Yorkshire.
Added a marker of me waving...
