I say "uneventful" as this should be less stressful than the previous few days...

The Russian crew was sent instructions for doing the wiring jumpers on the last 2 computers this morning. (MCCM asked them to get started on it as soon as they could.)

We've had crew wakeup...
EDIT: Crew wakeup was the fight song from the University of Texas at El Paso

I'm not up on nomenclature as you guys but I think he wasn't happy with the format of the morning execute package. Said he knows English and Russian but couldn't figure it out.... Then said he didn't mean to be condensating....
Ground then said they will work on it and said if he had trouble "Suni could help him" ... ouch......
I think they miss Suni already, as do we all..... Very worthy of setting that record this morning.....

Latest news from MCC-H is that they have conserved enough cryos to support one extra docked day and that they hve decided to transfer 55 lbs of O2 to station.
And Atlantis has been fully cleared for entry.

The ability to stay an extra day was gained a few days ago. But I'm assuming they've just given that to the crew officially?

So they can stay an extra day AND transfer that much O2? I thought it was going to be one or the other.

Thanks Dave. This 'should' clear Endeavour from LON requirements, although I've always assumed they prefer to keep working a schedule that supports LON through to the clearance via late inspections.
Any USA/NASA guys got the full story on that?

Let me check. Latest we had is they had capacity for 1.3 extra docked days (on top of this already included two extra days). Consumables were O2 for the Fuel Cells as the defining factor, so it's a good question.

Probably a moot point now (thankfully), but if Endeavour was on LON, how quick could the turnaround be considering the booster stacking just finished, the ET hasn't been mated and the orbiter is still under scaffolding in the OPF?
