Space Shuttle STS-3 Radio Comms Edit

A big into KFC on the next Rev that would be a tig of about 8 days 55 minutes or so and that would land about 1240 Cape time.

A big into KFC on the next Rev. That would be a tig of about 8 days. 55 minutes or so and that would land about 1240 Cape Time.

A Gordo looks to looks like you'll make that attitude all right. And the start time of three hours, 15 minutes is critical.

A right hand turn to Northrop 17 wins as follows starting at 50 thousand 24080.

A time and attitude for an IMU maneuver. Jack, I've got an IMU attitude and time for you over.

About 1/2 an hour into the sleep period. And it'll be.

About 2/3 of my way through my Gatorade.

About 5 minutes at 4:45 PM Central time. At 7 days, six hours, 38 minutes.

About 6 minutes through Madrid once again the Tommy Holloway briefing. Change the shift briefing.

About 7 1/2 minutes. Through Madrid. And that will be our first voice contact in main factory, the wake up contact if the Crew hasn't set any alarms on board Columbia.

About 25 minutes until we enter the sleep period.

About a minute and 1/2. Jack Lousman reporting they are beginning to close the payload door.

Acquisition of signal in 2 1/2 minutes through Madrid for our first boys. Contact of the day with the vehicle at 7 days, 16 hours, 19 minutes is the shuttle Mission Control.

Acquisition of Signal in 4 1/2 minutes through Arroyo Valley. We remind you again the change of shift briefing with the off going flight Director Tommy Holiday will be Tommy.

Acquisition of Signal in 20 minutes Mission lapse time 7 days, 16 hours 43 minutes Is the shuttle Mission Control?

Acquisition of Signal in 40 minutes. Through Hawaii Mission elapsed time presently 7 days, five hours, 31 minutes. This is shuttle Mission Control.

After the burn, we'll have two minutes across a rural valley again and there will be no Guam pass.

Again, regrettably but unavoidably, we once again slip another 30 minutes on the change of shift briefing with the flight director.

Again, the change of shift briefing with flight director Tommy Holloway. Regrettably, but necessarily.

Ah, pues que yo le voy a llevar este desembolito hasta.

Ah, pues que yo le voy a llevar. Hasta allá a ver.

All balls plus 077, decimal 5/3.

All balls read back. OK 143072352122 minus 017270.7229 are all balls, 2000850858506 OX 00109.1 all balls.

All right then we might also be thinking about right hand turns it looks like. That's a firm and I'm ready on the maneuver pad whenever you are.

All right, go ahead. OK, Gordo, I'd like you to bring up Spec 88.

All right, John, we copy and your recommendation remains a right turn to 17 over.

All right, look at that. In Columbia I have a couple of switches on R4. You ready?

All right, PC of my sample. Thanks Sir.

All right, that's good news. You are going to give us a call before we go to Verniers. I imagine they have to warm up for a while.

All right, we'll see you tonight. No music today in Hawaii.

All right, what can we do for you? Jack, I only have one thing on panel C3, the DFI PCM recorder to high sample please.

All right.

All right.

All right. We copied that and we did recommend to them a right turn to 17. So that's what they're planning on.

All systems and configurations looked good aboard Columbia as it passed out of range at Auroral and.

Altitude 167,000 feet, Range 440 miles.

And after convenience we need a GNC spec one please for our variable parameters.

And an altitude of 334,000 feet at a range of 3500 miles.

And anything else for us on this path, Steven?

And as soon as the convoy commander has confirmation of saving, the crews move into hook up, purge and cooling lines and. I.

And Columbia Houston families are staying at Northrop and they're fine and waiting for you.

And Columbia Jack, the weather at KFC right now is good. The forecast for tomorrow is a couple of scattered decks.

And Columbia, Houston, I have one Waterloo configuration for you for sleep tonight when you're ready.

And Columbia, Houston, I have one Waterloo configuration for you for sleep tonight when you're ready.

And Columbia, Houston, where 10 seconds Los now all the teleprinter messages were transmitted. We'll see you next at Auroral in 35 minutes.

And Columbia, Houston, you can proceed with the Moniadi Act on 5/18.

And coming across truth or consequences just prior to getting into the terminal area for the landing.

And do you have a copy of the S Band postland troubleshooting procedure? OK. Just let me know when you're ready to get into that.

And during this past, the crew received a message of appreciation for their work with the experiments from the folks responsible for the payloads.

And fries.

And Gordo, we also need a GPCC RT33 execute to get GPC 3 driving CRT three over.

And Gordo, we're standing by for the tank valves on the APU, so we're. OK, they're open and I have 3 graves.

And Gordon, we're just trying to get as much as we can out of tank four and we'll be getting those heaters off before sleep.

And he says that way to disable that folk church or keep going off. It's going to be a distracting for quite a while here.

And he's in the LRUD activation complete for the DFI. And understand all we're going to do is power down the white band mission, power switch and 20 ore X power up. You got it.

And here's some numbers for you. It's a cool night in the PTU right now it's 24 point zero 23.9 or 23.723 point 623 point 623.5. And the lamp status is off, the sun is down.

And his sister too. Again, that's close, Roger. And now we're 30 seconds to Los and right now back on a 12, we'd like to get APU heater tank, fuel line, H2O system 3B to auto we could.

And Houston 946 reporting he wins at 35 thousand, 260 to 130 at 39,250. At 110, that's above ground level.

And I got a message when I got that spec 90 cold plate.

And I guess you know that the the vacuum end valve on the WCS panel is one we can't operate and I guess it's open. Somebody told me it was open the other day.

And I'll set up a gamble check for you, Roger. AP's look good. You can secure those. And we're standing by for the gimbal check.

And if you hydraulics system is shut down, copy.

And in Colombia I have a DCS reconfiguration when you're ready to cut.

And in the only business? Is already off on panel 1.

And it reads as follows with the OSS 1 and pallet deactivation Payload Operations would like to congratulate Jack and Gordo on an outstanding performance in conducting the STS 3 experiments over the last seven days. Their efforts have shown the capability of the space transportation system to serve as an outstanding platform for conducting future research in science. Applications and technology in space.

And it's kind of interesting, the attitude and everything put us absolutely foresighted at 12:00 on Northrop.

And it's not has not yet been decided whether that will be a left hand turn or a right hand turn.

And it's six days, 22 hours, 58 minutes mission elapsed time. This is shuttle control Houston.

And Jack, I have a comment on your the state of your jets.

And Jack, please stand by on the gimbal check. We don't have data momentarily.

And Jack, there's no ohms propellant pad because the gauges are unreliable. We'll use the delta V on the cue card.

And Jack, we have a delta to the Hatch opening due to the fact that you're at 4000 feet. And when you get to the point, let me know and I'll get it to.

And last #16 cuts first and last number one, last but all at point number 2.0. Copy that.

And of course I'll use more fuel than do the vernier jets. Also instructions for.

And on panel R11, check the wide band mission Power on Over.

And on that subject, Brewster, the last minute entry to. Turn off The USS was at six, flag 2218. Copy that, Jack. Thank you.

And OTC and 101 delta humidity. Step A is off and B is on, so that step will be not performed.

And SCC and OTC, can we get a comp check from the vehicle?

And set interchange your flow to 950 ± 25.

And Steve has, you know, my life working today. MLS is checked out and working fine, Jack.

And Steve's busy doing a lot of coordination with the folks out at Northrop to make sure that everything's squared away there. So I'll talk to you here for a few passes.

And take water loop to bypass the manual and decrease to get the Max interchange of flow over.

And take water loop to bypass the manual and decrease to get the Max interchange of flow.

And that person, I take it the fuel cell purge we did earlier is adequate and one down the stream is not required?

And that's on the left engine. Yeah, we got that.

And that's on the left engine. Yeah, we got that.

And the crew sleep period has been adjusted. They're going to be awake for another. Another 50 minutes.

And the crew sleep periods been adjusted. They're going to be awake for another. Another 50 minutes before we put him to sleep for the night.

And the crew will begin repositioning the space shuttle main engines.

And the duct off and the high low duct heater to off and you may get an SA 88 thermal evap message.

And the Mission Control Center in Houston has handed over responsibility for Columbia to the ground crew at Northrop Strip.

And the next comment is at the bottom of that page at tig -4, where we're going to do the red bypass.

And the Orbit team are presently on console. They will hand over to Tommy Holloway and the Asset team beginning at 7:30 PM Central Time this evening.

And the post planning procedure is complete. Hold on one down, check the primary main C We had a problem with the talk back there.

And the rain drain operation is in progress. Copy.

And the temps are starting to come up slowly in the vehicle, so the sooner you can get stuff forward down, the better.

And then we're going to wait on 5/18 until I get the courthouse up as I pregnant. Yeah, stand by on that.

And then we've done the preliminary work on the, the over prep message, we put the, we did the work on FA3 and. The interconnected and fuel cell purge. Look at the fuel cells if you would, please. OK, we're looking at those. And no water dump required this morning, Jack, right here. No water dump.

And time of ignition will be 7 days, two hours 34.

And touchdown 8 days, 0 hours, 5 minutes, 3 seconds.

And we are maneuvering Houston, we copied that about 30 seconds Los and we'll pick you up at Aurora in a couple of minutes here, Jack.

And we expect a rather light activity this morning for the crew.

And we expect. The payload Bay door closing on schedule.

And we gave them the. On the weather at North OR.

And we got the part yard closed. No problem, I got the forward closed micro switch to Not yet.

And we informed the crew on this pass that the.

And we show that you haven't. In Columbia, Houston, one last thing, the BFS is on internal time. We need to pro it into OPS zero then back to 301 Gordon.

And we would still have A1 Rev later option about 8 days and 2 1/2 hours land.

And we would still have A1 Rev later option about 8 days and 2 1/2 hours, landing at the Cape about 2:00 in the afternoon local time.

And we'll get back to you with information based on that planning as soon as it's available.

And we're 15 minutes, 18 seconds away from the orbit.

And we're gonna go ahead with the 101 B, page 200.1. OK, I copy.

And we're thinking of deorbit, our prime opportunity will be on orbit 129 that would be into Northrop.

And we've had a change of time for the Gene, Gene Kranz briefing, which was scheduled for 4/30. We've had to slip that 15 minutes.

And what kind of attorney at this point, Steve?

And when you do that, you'll get an S 88 free on flow message and you can ignore that.

And while you're there on R2, the MPs pneumatic helium crossover to GPC over.

And while you're there on R2, the MPs pneumatic helium crossover to GPC over.

And yesterday the one started up just fine and sitting there and check along.

And you will get a fail leak on that and you can disregard it.

Any other opportunity at Orbit 130?

Any weather updates? Roger, standby.

AOS 11 minutes, 21 second.

Appeal 608 and we'd like AGNC spec one for some variable parameters and when you're through with that your go for the item 48 to clear up the camp.

Appeared to have improved and favorable weather for landings at those locations tomorrow.

Appio 608 and we'd like AGNC spec one for some variable parameters and when you're through with that your go for the item 48 stick, they're up the camps.

Approaching acquisition through Yargody.

Approaching the range of the Hawaii tracking station, we're doubtful we're going to have a communication through there, but we'll stand by.

Approaching the state line between Arizona and New Mexico now. Off.

Are in excess of about 24 knots coming across the tollway at this time, which are a little bit higher than they were when Columbia touched down this morning. The winds at that time were in the area of between 7:00 to 10:00 knots at a steady pace. So the winds have picked up a little bit. This was something that was expected. The weather people told the operations crew that they could expect the winds to pick up somewhat as we got later into the afternoon, possibly getting up as high as. 25 wi...

Are y'all getting the surface winds from that tower over? Yes we are. We're presently talking to Rick. How? Do you have any input there? No, the runway visibility and aimpoint marks are all good from here right now. Copy that. Good Viz and aim points are visible. Any exposition at touchdown please?

Arrived here in the Emission Control Center. Once again, those times Central Times, 4:30 PM Monday. Gene Cran.

Arthur, standby on that, Jack and. You are go to get back on years.

As a recap, and sorry about the attitude. Well, we're gonna have to take anyway. Maybe you can do something different tomorrow. But if not, Roger and we're 30 seconds to L.

As Jack Lausman of Columbia's commander termed it, we've had a good drill, he said.

As soon as we have information on what orbit and at what time.

As your energy and ground track are nominal. Chasing the coastline for a Market 12.

As your recopy and we're planning a pretty leisurely morning again tomorrow with no FCS checkout plan.

Aspirin station at Arroyo Valley. Next voice contact and.

Assurances have been made that the roads will be open and that the oncoming entry team members who live in those areas would have accessibility to the site and won't have any problems getting on site. And it appears that none of the entry team members are residents of areas which would be affected by the flooding or a possible flooding. So that concern has been alleviated here in the Control Center.

But midway on the picture. Monitor now shows the shuttle training aircraft, piloted by astronaut John Young, making an approach to Runway 1/7.

But the situation has degraded at Northrop enough that we'll wave off for today.

But you're in Colombia. I would like to get a cycle on the Star Trek or shutters over.

By both the use of the stick by the commander and also by using the computer keyboard.

California. Columbia, Houston, you're unreadable. Let's wait till we get to Myla here in another minute or.

Call me Houston Jack if you do have the deorbit prep out. I have a minor change on page 4 Dash.

Can I get a date on the radiator? So you may see them a radiator cover and latch briefly. They're back latched. Kind of overshot the opposition with the switch. No problem.

Can I get you like to dampen the rotation and the attitude and all that, George?

Can run that with you if you want and I'll go ahead and do 31, OK?

Columbia, Houston through Yogendi for 5 minutes. OK, Houston, this is the Columbia area. Loud and clear. How many? Got you 5 by also Jay. OK, the payload Bay door closure was successful. We have cold soak the radiators we're about to maneuver to top sun and garden is getting suited up. Sounds great, Jack. Sounds great, Jack. And how's the weather looking, winds and so forth? The runway selection that at white is there is a premature at this point. We're anticipating right now. We're checking...

Columbia, Houston to Yoga D for four minutes over.

Columbia, Houston We have one change to your Deorbit prep that will occur on page three, Dash 21 when you're ready to copy.

Columbia, Houston We show on the ground that Ave. Bay 3 smoke detector A shows an alarm output. Did that occur when you discharge the handheld into that Bay or or do you have an alarm now over?

Columbia, Houston were one minute Los, Did you copy the last transmission?

Columbia, Houston where 30 seconds Los Next is Madrid in 6 minutes. See you there.

Columbia, Houston, 30 seconds. Los next is Yaga Dee in 29 minutes. OK, we'll see you Yargy. We got the cyber door and the proximity of the closed position and beginning satellite UPS on the. Harbor center line and the way it looks is that all of the all of the rollers are on the same trajectory, although the ones most apartment are touching 1st and it's proportionally less close as you come forward. Copy Thank you. See you at Yoga D.

Columbia, Houston, 32nd Stella W Botswana next in 5 minutes.

Columbia, Houston, a reminder, you're coming up on the red bypass toe and you'll need to get the RJ DS on and go to normal Jets part of that.

Columbia, Houston, Back through Guam for 6 minutes Over.

Columbia, Houston, back with you through Buckhorn for 10 minutes. Over.

Columbia, Houston, Could you give us a couple of words on how the RAD heat sink DTO went back about 3:10?

Columbia, Houston, don't interrupt what you're doing. This is a number action for you. I just have a note that was given to us I'd like to pass along to you.

Columbia, Houston, go ahead.

Columbia, Houston, go ahead. All right. We know that the hydraulic accumulator pressure is reading off scale low. We presume that there's just some instrumentation, it's not powered up. Is that correct?

Columbia, Houston, How do you read?

Columbia, Houston, How do you read?

Columbia, Houston, I'd like to give you a few words on what we're thinking about the Landing for tomorrow over.

Columbia, Houston, NAV energy and ground track are all good. Have an update on winds and weather when you're ready. Go ahead.

Columbia, Houston, The Silver team is back with you through Botswana. We'll be watching you through the night over.

Columbia, Houston, through the states for a minute and 1/2. OK, I don't expect to get you back, but I guess I could have said it had looked at this calculator. We got it on fire.

Columbia, Houston, We do have some deltas to the post landing procedures. The first deltas are the RCS, OHM safing for the PLT and Gordo. Just let me know when you get to those steps, then I'll get to you.

Columbia, Houston, we have two minutes left in this pass. You are go for the payload Bay door closing on time as per the message and we sure would recommend that you do a manual closing of the doors.

Columbia, Houston, we need the left homes cross feed. Bravo to GPC over.

Columbia, Houston, We'd like to have ammonia 8A secondary on please.

Columbia, Houston, we're 20 seconds. Los Buckhorn's next in 4 minutes.

Columbia, Houston, we're 30 seconds Los now. Next is iOS in 13 minutes. And we had some uplink problems last time. We may expect some UHF uplink problems with us next time.

Columbia, Houston, we're about 30 seconds to Los Ascension is next in 9 minutes. And Jackie might give some consideration to a a right hand turn to 2-3. It keeps the GS down a little bit. It's at 150° turn versus 220° turn the left way around.

Columbia, Houston, where 30 seconds Los from Hawaii Next is Buckhorn in 3 1/2 minutes over.

Columbia, Houston, where 30 seconds Los Next is Hawaii in 19 minutes. OK, so.

Columbia, Houston, where 30 seconds, Los Jagadi is next in 8 minutes and in the blind you have a Gopher payload Bay door closing. We recommend manual closing.

Columbia, Houston, where 45 seconds Los, your DPS, PCs and RCS configurations all look good. Primary B is controlling pretty well now. We'd like to stay on it until at least Madrid, then we'll get you back on A for the entry. OK, that's good news. Thank you, Richard.

Columbia, Houston, You're allowed there. Go ahead. OK, nothing. No problems. We just got quite turned in yet, but I was just wondering, George, if. He'd heard our family's hanging overnight there at N Oakland. Until next try tomorrow.

Columbia, Houston. How do you read over?

Columbia, Houston. Take air data.

Columbia, Houston. We see the temperature not settling out. We'd like you to go back to Primary A.

Columbia, Houston. We're 30 seconds Los now. Next is Yoga D in 14 1/2 minutes. Have a good birthday.

Columbia, Houston. We're seeing some bad indications of the radiator latching data. We'd like you to check on our 13 the talkbacks for the radiator latches, please.

Columbia, now one hour from the orbit.

Columbia, we're one minute to Los you guys be sure and get a good sleep. And for information, you're running at 10 kilowatts now and the vehicle looks real good to us in the ground.

Columbia, your attitude and rotation look good.

Columbia's crew now backing out of the reentry configuration that they had started into.

Columbia's ground track across the United States will not change because of the right hand turn to Runway 1/7.

Come to the place where it says check wide band mission power on. Should I turn around?

Come up then and see whether we do get any. Communication.

Coming up on the end of. Have more but 128? Let me we'll begin orbit 129 about halfway between Aurora and.

Configuring cabin lighting and removing and replacing window shades and stowing equipment.

Contingency Mission, the second group of trains arriving a couple days later with most of the equipment in Texas.

Continues to reveal that the vehicle is performing nominally. All onboard systems are working well. The astronauts are.

Continuing through their sleep period undisturbed, wake up time is in about an hour and a half.

Control Houston.

Convoy equipment has been attached to the rear end of the Order of Columbia.

Convoy of personnel will begin to set up the Hatch open.

Coolant also takes the load off of onboard systems. The astronauts have now arrived back at the operations area.

Cooling lines and purge lines.

Copy Stand by 1.

Copy that. And Gordo, did you say you had the circuit breaker on MA73C, the AC 3 payload three phase? We'd like that close.

Copy that. Thank you. And the Houston, we got a good IMU alignment and also IMU align verification. Copy that if you have the time. We'll take the torquing angles, Jack.

Copy that. Thank you. I think that wind is probably going to hang in there somewhere between 5 and 15 knots and it's just going to be chancy to to go for the cross wind. You may get it, you may not. I I guess I would tend to recommend going for the autoland, but if it hangs in there at 10 knots, you can get the cross winds.

Copy that. Thank you. Yes, Sir.

Copy.

Copy.

Copy.

Copy. 946 on that last run. Did you ever read Out of the Winds at 2007 thousand and 10,000?

Copy. And we're ready.

Copy. Is it Maria? Go ahead.

Copy. Maybe so, Sir.

Copy. Playing controllers off.

Copy. Unofficial wheels and I'll turn you over to Brewster now for post landings. 6 minutes, 10 seconds.

Copy. We held up on doing bubble one here on page 325. I'm ready to do it now with RMS right in step.

Corn. On their Rev 118.

Course word has been. Distributed through the area of flood warnings high tides with possible effect on the Seabrook and Kemah areas. The flight control team has been advised and the.

Crew clearly not in any real big hurry to deorbit and come back ask for an attitude which would give them some earth views which the flight control team was unable to provide due to requirements for the passive thermal control attitude. Overnight got the word that the consumables and power were good for a wave off tomorrow and in fact even the next day if required and Mission Commander Jack Lassman reported they got some exercise and the treadmill being flight tested. Designed by astronaut Bi...

Crew continues to have a restful night with 3 1/2 hours remaining in their sleep period.

Crew given a go for OPS 3. Transition to the computer program for entry and landing.

Crew is merging now and by Commander Jack Lasman.

Cycle a switch on. If you like Gordo, we think it's and we don't want you to cycle the switch.

Data we're getting from the Ohm's cross feed look good to us and we're going to let the nominal procedure stand. So just go ahead with those. There will be no changes.

Deactivate the heater and so forth and put it.

Debbie.

Definitely off. Maybe I can tap on it well here.

Deorbit ignition will begin 18 seconds after Yardy acquisition of signal on orbit #115.

Deputy director of flight operations at JSC. The time 4:30 PM Central.

Described it as a very encouraging trend at Northrop Kennedy Space Center is being influenced by a high on the Atlantic Coast offshore which.

Differences by hail from north or South or from. Knees or West, My heart is filled with love for all of these. I only know myself with pride and deep within my breath. My thrill to see all glory made the dream. This is my country. And all of my friends. This is my country. From this corner. Alright, let's see my holiday, Kevin. I'll be there in all of. The day.

Discuss the situation at Northrop with the crew. It's possible we will switch to runway 2/3.

Do you want me to get this? I'll show you my spec 22 if you want to see it.

Don you folks have a go to complete your procedures?

Don you with me? OK. On page 5-17, middle of the page, APU heater deactivation, we don't see that as being completed.

Don't let us forget it, we'll remind you.

Donning pressure suits. We've been informed them during this past that.

Down on mid deck on MA 73 Charlie. OK.

Down on R11, can you confirm the wide van mission power is off?

Due to the. The prudent nature of the handover and the necessity to make sure that all systems issues are handed completely from one team to the other. It'll be necessary to prolong his debriefing period that long and accordingly, the change of shift briefing will be delayed in 30 minutes until 3:00 AM.

Duration of the burn 2 minutes, 29 seconds.

During the entry. To gather information on the aerodynamic response of the orbit.

During the night and in the morning we're going to take a good look at the Northrop weather. If the Northrop is is good, we plant a tick at around 7 days, 23 hours for a landing at.

During the night and in the morning we're going to take a good look at the Northrop weather. If the Northrop is is good, we plant a tick at around 7 days, 23 hours for a landing at.

During the night, like some people think it may, then the winds would be calm.

During this, past crew was given given the pad for the deodorant burn.

Echo happy.

Econ ecom confirms 3 good AP US from the data he saw.

EI -10 EI minus 052, niner decimal 65.

Either the mate demate device if we're at Edwards, in this case the stiff like Derek, that activity was completed in less than two hours.

Ellen. Go ahead Roger Gordo on page three, Dash 21 in Bubble 4 for the ARS Waterloo config at tig -413.

Enco rather enco on the entry shift, Lee Briscoe is gingerly climbed to the top of the ladder and is now hungry.

Everything looking good at Mach one at 50,000 feet, range 27.

Everything seemed to be working OK. The visibility is down across the end of the runway there at one-on-one seven right now.

Extension control, we've had lots of signal through Hawaii acquire again in about.

F And finally on panel A8 port RMS heater to auto.

Fe.

Fecha.

Feeling of 7000 feet broken clouds winds would be less favorable, particularly cross winds would be less favorable than yesterday.

Final approach and landing and we'll let you sort out during this past. When's the best time for you to accomplish all this with us?

First on a reminder, we'd like to get a fuel cell auto purge sometime before sleep tonight and we're looking at the the conservative Cryos and we'd like to get the master DFI powered off and that's on C3 over.

First things that was done after Columbia rolled to a stop and was declared safe for people to start working on was the installation of plugs in the main engines in the ohms and RCS engines in the Ford. And after portions of the vehicle and any of the exhaust ports such as where the exhaust from the auxiliary power units where the the water is dumped. Those those places were plugged up to prevent any type of of this gypsum from blowing in any of those offices. So that work has been done, went...

Five square Brewster, how many? I have you 5 square as well. Jack, did you copy our go for payload Bay door closing?

Flight Director Harold Drawn and his team of flight controllers. Are presently debriefing here in the Mission Control Center. Preparing.

Flight Director Neil Hutchinson and the Orbit team of flight controllers has taken over in their Mission Control Center. Flight Director Harold Drawn is now involved in.

Flight Director Tommy Holloway and his asset team of flight controllers who now have.

Flight Director Tommy Holloway exchange shift briefing. We believe it's going to be on schedule at 2:30 AM Central Time.

Flight director Tommy Holloway has advised it'll be necessary to slip his change of shift briefing until 3:00 AM Central time.

Flight dynamics officer Craig's to resign, it has generated.

Flight Mr. Hutchinson has left the Mission Control Center and is on route to the NASA NEWS CENTER presently.

Flight planning for. Tomorrow's landing opportunities. He still estimates his change of shift. Briefing for 3:30 PM Central Time in the JSC NEWS CENTER.

Flight planning is underway now to support landings at either of those locations.

Florida, we think at your closest point, which is coming up real shortly here, you'll be between 2 and 300 miles and it should be to your southwest.

For Cisco, we're about 3 minutes from a possible AOS at Hawaii. Any updates?

For that recovery operation before they are ready to ferry back to the Kennedy Space Center.

For the ferry flight actually begins. This is shuttle control that sand.

For the militaries down to about 80 miles.

For three hours, 47 minutes away from the orbit. At six days, 22 hours, 46 minutes mission elapsed time, this is Shuttle Control Houston.

Force it.

Forecast for tomorrow looks even better and in fact, Kennedy, Northrop and Edwards Air Force Base.

Forio.

Forward on they're still both deselected. Do you want to reselect them now so we don't forget later?

Forward RCS Delta V13 oxidizer 00.

Found some severe turbulence between 10,000 and 7000 feet. However, he said he didn't think the arbiter would notice that turbulence.

From the Mission Control Center at. Seven days, 14 hours and 34 minutes.

Further and reach latch in the port Windows Mobile. OK, fine. Thank you, Don.

Gabby. This is shuttle control.

Generating a strong gradient. Producing fairly strong winds. Forecast calls for.

George, we haven't been tracking the weather much of KFC. What's the general conditions there?

Getting it ready for for the turn around operation, the 747 carrier aircraft will probably arrive approximately a day to a day and 1/2.

Give you guys a chance to enjoy the ride for a while. OK, then I'll give you something to think about. Seems like we don't have very good attitudes for looking at the earth, and if it's all the same to everybody and you can think of an attitude that would optimize that as well as accomplish your objectives, we'd appreciate some better looking attitudes. Roger, Jack re copying now we'll take that consideration here over.

Giving them the opportunity to. Leisurely prepare for the deorbit.

Go ahead and get it done. When I fully stepping at this, might as well get this done.

Go ahead Roger. Roll is +182 decimal niner.

Go ahead, Columbia.

Go ahead, Steve. At Madrid we set up 83E86A and 87 and previously we had set up 84B4 messages over.

Go ahead.

Go ahead. Of age 5 dash 27. Looking at your panel MO 13 Q which shows that the AC utility power fraction of DC utility power should be turned off but. Disregard, disregard. I was reading that backwards, OK. And I'll stay on the other line.

Go ahead. OK. About halfway through that conversation about transmission. I had my calm terminated here, but we got to put back in and you have to say it again. OK Gordo, all I was saying was over this Connis pass, we've got the APU pre start, the gimbal check and I do have the latest wins from the STA. And Joe would like to relay some comments from John about the flying, the station and the final approach and landing. And we'll let you sort out during the past when it's best for you to do th...

Go ahead. Roger, if you were to have trouble with the primary A and got into the malfunction procedures and tried a primary B, you can expect some cycling of temperatures on primary B, but we think it will control. So you'd want to ignore those notes in the pocket checklist that tell you to wait 30 seconds before proceeding past the primary B. And your indication of a failure on the primary B would be another evap out temperature message over.

Go ahead. Seems here at the stripper continuing working on Columbia, getting it ready for the tow over to the stiff leg. Garrett began to turn around operations there.

Go ahead. Time is 7 days, 20 hours, 11 minutes over.

Go for maneuvers and close the indoors hey West of the entry.

Goes NE across Mexico. Entering Arizona about halfway between Yuma and Lukeville.

Going back to the on orbit mid deck configuration and on orbit heater configuration.

Going to walk around inspection of Columbia.

Good morning to you. Jack didn't answer because he wants to get a picture of this.

Good morning, Columbia, Houston through Madrid for 4 1/2 minutes over.

Good morning. Good morning up here. How's it down there? Well, right over the street at Gibraltar. What a site.

Good night, guys. This is Mission Control Houston at 7 days, 7 hours, 57 minutes. In about 3 minutes at 6:00 PM Central time on NASA Select, we're going to feed videotape of some stock footage acquired by NASA of the shuttle training aircraft practicing approaches at the shuttle landing strip at Kennedy Space Center.

Gopher Auto at 12,000 pieces. OK. We're in auto Houston.

Gordo we show that that should be on and it looks like it is drawing power it it indicates on to us.

Gordo, as a result of having probed the BFS to OPS zero, you're going to have to reload the mini table again and we have those item numbers for you if you want.

Gordo, could you give us a readout on the Talkback for that valve? Yeah, I just went up there and looked.

Gordo, did you copy the item 8 plus 1/8? Columbia, Houston, How do you read?

Gordo, one other thing we would like you to back out of the APU pre start and the reference for that is page 3-6 at the bottom.

Gordo, there's no hurry on that if you're downstairs. Dave, it's so easy to fly around, even in a suit, that you know I asked him for anything. That talked back, says posed. All four homes cross feed cells shall closed. Thank you.

Gordo, we don't want to do that yet. We anticipate Yoga D at the earliest.

Gordo, we're not receiving your BioMed. Jax is OK. You might check it, Gordo, if you have a chance.

Gordo, you can do it now if you like. OK.

Gordon Fullerton following him. Being greeted by George Abbey, the director of flight operations at the Johnson Space Center.

Gordon Fullerton remarking. As Columbia passed over Northrop Strip, that it was dusty looking down there and that they agreed with the decision not to land there today.

Got you 5 by Jack. The BFS is on internal time right now. We would like you to pro atop 0 then back to 301 if you would please. OK.

Got your 5 biject.

Got your check?

Gracias. Casa.

Guam has lots of signal with Colombia. Hawaii next in 9 minutes.

HA123HP minus 01 Niner read back.

Had a late Los there. Columbia was in a keyhole. As to recap, the probabilities are high that Columbia will land at the Kennedy Space Center.

Had an altitude of 318,000 feet in a range of 3500 miles.

Had to be postponed until 3:00 AM Central time in order to give the flight control teams the opportunity to.

Handover beginning at 1:00 AM Tuesday, 1:00 AM Central Time.

Handover has occurred in the Emission Control Center from the Silver team and flight director.

Happy.

Happy. Thank you, Jack. Flight Director Drawn has informed the convoy commander that the OHMS and RCS safing is complete.

Hatch opening has begun. Gordo. No Sir. Pumps are required today.

Have a acquisition of Signal again in about 5 minutes through Ascension and the car.

Have a acquisition of signal and voice contact in just a few moments and the Gene kranz chains or shift briefing again in.

Have a couple switches in the after if you can have time. On our 10.

Have a good one. This is shuttle control. Aurora has lots of signal. We expect the Columbia to be in blackout at Hawaii in about 16 minutes, but.

He'll make a run later on to Runway 2-3 and we'll talk to him again after Auroral Los.

He's been Greetings from the Desert Recovery Force. Read you 5 by OK, how about letting us know when those guys are ready to get out there?

He's been shooting approaches at Northrop Strip, reported on winds.

He's got that and back on panel A 11. Same thing for tank 4 cryo O2H2, tank 4 heaters alpha to auto over.

Heading toward Ascension Island on orbit #115 at Ascension astronaut Joe Engleville.

Heading toward Yardy. Acquisition there in 9 minutes, 20 seconds.

Hello Houston, how do you read the PLP? Read your 5 by Gordo. We'd like to have ammonia A to SEC on and then C on C3. The antenna switch to upper left please.

Hello one, this is Columbia Audi raid. Convoy 1 Columbia region I'm clear how many welcome home 35 square to.

Hello, through Botswana we're doing an imule. Copy that.

Hello, timing buffet circuit breaker is closed. Roger. Then close the OFT pallet control circuit breaker.

Hello.

Hello. Columbia, Houston have you 5 by over?

Hello. Gene Kranz, Deputy Director of Flight Operations, is now leaving the Mission Control Center and on his way to Building 2, and the change of shift briefing there should begin just a momentarily.

Here's the shuttle Mission Control. In a minute and a half, we will be putting a NASA selective videotape replay of shuttle training aircraft shooting approaches at Kennedy Space Center. This will be a replay of of film acquired some time back and from NASA stock footage, and that videotape is about 3 minutes in duration.

Hey Thompson server, the flash 213800 I'll copy. That's a good copy. And that's all I have, Jack. All right, thank you. We'll put down a little breakfast and tie you up around here and get on with it, Roger.

Hey, 7:30 to 1600, OK. And Columbia, the vernier jets look good to us now they're warm. So you're you have a go to re enable the RM on F5L.

Hey, and we're going Los in Santiago's next at 6 + 38. OK, we'll see 6 + 38, George.

Hey, and we're going Los in Santiago's next at 6 + 38. OK? We'll see you at 6 + 38, George.

Hey, Dad. We're good, Jack. Thank you. OK, you want to load that up for us?

Hey, go ahead without him. 6 Roger, item 6 plus 1/7.

Hey, Richard. Hey, look at the line of the big map there. How close to the Seychelles do we go on this path? You go northeast on a southeasterly heading and I'll see if I can find out how close you are.

Hey, Steve, we're passing Davis Monson. I can see it down there. I got 1 tack and out two tack. Hands locked. Roger, stand by.

Hey, what is that, babe? Columbia, Houston, we're 25 seconds. Los, We may or may not get you at Hawaii. It's very low elevation. Buckhorn would be after that in about 16 minutes and just press on with what you're doing. You're doing all the right things.

Holloway change of shift briefing will be at either 2:00 or 2:30, and we will affirm that with him when he becomes available.

Holloway will be conducted at 3:30 AM Central Time at 7 days, 16 hours, 55 minutes is the shuttle Mission Control.

Houston 30 seconds this past. Next is Guam in 7 minutes. OK, we'll see you glow and we got the left door coming open.

Houston 946 between Go Ahead Phoenix 20 knots out of 135. OK. I appreciate you keeping your updated there.

Houston 946 over. Roger, we're ready to copy. Go ahead. The wind is not strong enough to do wind is not strong enough to do this. Do the cross wind right now and I don't think it's if it goes up it's not going to be I think I told you wrong on that leading the right hand turn in. I think you ought to follow guidance in the shuttle and you know inflate a speed brake to maintain your energy. Maybe leading the speed break just like we've talked about, but I think you ought to follow guidance on...

Houston 946. Go ahead. Roger, John, we're back with you for about 11 minutes. We'll just stand by.

Houston 946. We're standing by Roger. We just completed that pass in a using the MLS. The MLS works great. We took it down to 100 feet and I'll give you some numbers here as soon as we get them, Roger.

Houston copies. 5.

Houston through Hawaii for 6 minutes over.

Houston White Sands are ground 2. Is Houston? Go ahead.

Houston, ignore the Evapo temp and it'll come back down. That's coming back down right now, about 46.

How many on 811 or whatever it was? That's from Gordo on a 11 cryo O2 and H2 tank. 4A heaters to auto.

How was your Jack? Were worried about the sun and the Z tracker. We'd like to get the shutter to auto over. Yeah, I see what you mean. I just did that.

How would you think? I'll be at Houston now. I'd like to give you a few words on what we're thinking about the landing for tomorrow.

How's the temperature going up in the? Copy. I got the 16, I'll come back now.

How's your energy and ground track are good and NAV is great. Jack, that's good news. Do you think it?

How's your Jack? And we're seeing your data. We'd like you to get us Spec 21 up if you could over.

Hydro Jack, stand by. We'll get you the latest reading and forecast. OK. Thank you.

I am ready. OK, first I'd like you to check that the circuit breaker Halo timing buffer is closed.

I completely proceed with AP heater deactivation copy.

I covered. This is shuttle control here in the Control Center. The ladder is going up against the wall preparatory to hanging the STS 3 crew Pat.

I don't understand what you've got. What is it? Roger, I've got 4 notes to get up. The first one is in.

I figured you did. I don't scratch that part, OK.

I figured you'd get that one. Columbia, Houston. We have 6 minutes left in this pass. Sometime while you're passing by your deorbit prep book. I've got a couple of notes, but there's no rush.

I guess that was something to check out past which we deleted, right? Wasn't Roger?

I just got to summarize where we are. We got everything closed up. Downstairs, Bubble Free is complete. I don't know, set it up up up to jump it in the suit. I got my decent sensors and all that on Jack is not quite got that far, but. Seattle lights up and ready to go and we're standing by your go for doors.

I mean, go ahead and. Operate that last B cross feed as further checklist. Is that what you mean? That's affirmative.

I say let's get this. Yeah, OK. And we're 20 seconds Los. Additionally, on page 4-9 in bubble 6, we need to get the pod heaters configured and we'll see you again.

I think everything is good here. OK. We assume you're going to be clear in the area 20 to 25 minutes before touchdown, which would be 5 to 10 minutes from now. OK, We're already holding up north. OK, very good. Thank you.

I think the reason why that'll be fine. Wait, I just had a little exercise in Bill Farms treadmill and it really works good.

I think you can do it. Stay in with the guidance if you yeah, if you leave it a little bit, 'cause that's a win from 250 at 100 tends to throw you around the corner there.

I thought, I just say what I'm going to do and you tell me if I'm wrong and then we'll find the book later. OK, Gordo, sounds like a good idea. We'll listen up.

I want to ask you about the bubble one if you want to go with that PCs configuration.

I was getting his hat on. I would if I give you the Gill check and he gave you the priest there. That'll be fine.

I'd experienced no particular problems. Moderate turbulence about 200 about 2000.

I'll be a Houston through Botswana, Harry.

I'll be a Houston, not here. I'll be at Houston. How do you reading?

I'll be at Houston for four more minutes. How do you read? Columbia, Houston, How do you read?

I'll be at Houston through Botswana for 6 1/2 minutes.

I'll be at Houston. How do you read? I'll be a Houston every 2 1/2 more minutes. How do you read? Oh, we can hear you now, George. Go ahead. Roger. Jack, we had a site problem. I've got your PCs configuration when you're ready.

I'll be Houston now. We've seen the secondary gimbals and we're ready for the primaries now.

I'm new attitude. Go ahead, Roger. I am you attitude. Top of the page. Seven days, 21 hours, 14 minutes over.

I'm waiting for four minutes on the radiator outside here.

I'm watching the helium and it's absolutely rock steady. I'm guessing that since I turned the heater off that jets just cooled off and faked out the temperature transducer. Really.

I'm yeah Houston, through Buckhorn for 7 minutes. OK George, he's all unclear through Buckhorn and I lost your star data and I know why and I won't do that again. But rather than going to a new line you line attitude, I propose that we we're going to scan the same part of sky will pick up those stars again and just do it when we get some good ones. I did copy down the data though, and the biggest angle was the .1. Most of them went around point O2.

I've got him already about that blanket today. Sounds good.

I've got the CPU number for you, Roger Cordell. Go ahead, we're ready to copy.

Ignition isn't. We got a good burn going, Roger.

In 34 minutes. At 7 days, 17 hours, 9 minutes mission elapse time, this is shuttle control.

In about 15 minutes at 2:30 AM Central time. This is shuttle Mission Control at 7 days, 16 hours, 16 minutes.

In both Jack. You mean we gotta type them all over again?

In case you wanted to watch. OK, we're over Myla.

In Colombia, go ahead. We're finished up to page 514 and 15 ejection feet egress. We can hear them banging on a hatch down there, but Rick hasn't showed up yet, so as soon as he gets on calm, I guess we'll get off.

In Columbia Houston, two things you can anticipate over the Connus if you're ahead of the timeline and early APU pre start and gimbal check over.

In Columbia, Houston, we would like to set up an interconnect again. We'll interconnect from the left ohms with a caution. Use the left Ohm's cross feed A to open, but leave the Bravo in GPC over.

In Columbia, Houston, we're 30 seconds Los. Next is Dakar in 5 1/2 minutes over.

In Columbia, the weather at Northrop is excellent. The surface winds are nearly calm at this point, 30 seconds Los next is auroral in 2 minutes.

In Columbia, while you're doing NAFTA, we get a GNC spec one up for some variable parameters.

In the area Baja. And that high pressure is driving away wind troughs which had to plague Northrop yesterday. And the weather officer?

Indian Ocean station acquisition there in 11 1/2.

Indicating that whether Northrop strip looks good for today, a high pressure is developing off the coast of California Southwest.

Informed the crew that if the winds get out of limits at Northrop Strip there is a possibility of a wave off, but that we do not expect that to happen.

Insane. This is shuttle control. Columbia has lost signal with Bermuda.

Is about to acquire Columbia. Columbia, Houston through Yoga D for 7 minutes over.

Is portable. It can be carried to any of the contingency sites that the order might have to land in an emergency.

Is the Perch trailer which runs conditioned air through the mini cavities in the vehicle through the payload Bay.

Is there a whole hostel jackets on the headset? Because he did it, Roger.

It sure is. The the viz on the surface is about 0.

It's a good read back Jack, and that's oxidizer to 0 on the forward RCS picking up EI -5 inertial attitude 19 or 431-7038. Right 000.

It's a shuttle control Aurora has lots of signal.

It's a shuttle control. It's seven days, 17 hours, 2 minutes mission elapse time.

It's a shuttle Mission Control at 7 days, 16 hours, 53 minutes. The.

It's estimated. And it's, uh.

It's great to hear Jack. We show you passing Mach 14 at 179,000 feet.

It's one hour, 22 1/2 minutes to the deorbit burn.

It's over 31 minutes at 7 days, 16 hours, 32 minutes. This is shuttle Mission Control.

It's shuttle Mission Control 7 days, 15 hours, 35 minutes.

It's the shuttle control here in the Control Center. Flight Director Harold Brown is taking a go. No go.

Jack for Northrop on Rev D orbit Rev 129 landing 1 thirty 25,000. Scattered visibility 7 plus winds are 270 at 10, gusts to 20 altimeter 3003. So it's looking good.

Jack Glassman was given a go for maneuvers. These are the aerodynamic maneuvers he will perform at varying Mach numbers.

Jack in panel O14 road Charlie smoke detection Bay 2A3B you can pull that one.

Jack Lasma confirms ignition and a good burn going duration of this burn 2 minutes 29 seconds.

Jack Lasma. Reporting that Houston looks a little overcast, but Galveston is clear.

Jack Lasman reported the payload Bay doors open at loss of signal here at Yargati.

Jack Lausma correctly reported their position over the streets of Gibraltar and the vehicle now in the Mediterranean Sea over the Mediterranean Sea.

Jack, did you attempt to reset that smoke detector with no joy? However, I did not try to reset it. I will do that now, however.

Jack, I'm ready for the maneuver pad whenever you are. OK, Steve, I'm gonna go ahead with the maneuver pad. Roger Holmes, both TV Roll 180 plus 0 decimal 1 -, 5 decimal 7 + 5 decimal 72154, Niner 2 TIG is 0070234.

Jack, like what you're seeing in the way of how to glide slope crab and how it fades out when you get down low or cutting the hack short or anything like that. We'd appreciate it. We'll pass that on to him over stateside passing, obviously going into two three, you got to turn inside the hacker about 15° with those winds and put your speed brakes in and then you know, back at about 45° and fly 245 all the way around. But it's doable.

Jack, we'd like to have ammonia B to SEC on, please. I will leave both of them on. And both of them on. Thank you, Sir.

Jack's down there. He'll make another check. I can verify both 14.7 Kevin regulates are closed. Roger, thank you.

JC and the Moker reports a site problem at Buckhorn.

John has flown some passes with a right turn to 1/7 and his recommendation is that you follow guidance. The tailwind may tend to overshoot you slightly on final, but guidance will get you back just fine. However, he does recommend leading the speed brake per the message at .95, getting it to manual and matching autos command. Then at .9 mark get it to 100% over. OK, I remember that and I'll do it. And if you see me do it differently, you let me know.

John we can do it at auroral post burn or immediately post blackout.

John Young reported that working great on his approach to Runway 1/7. NASA 946 Houston at 7 days, 22 hours, 44 minutes golfing laps time. This is shuttle control, not your work. Between the car and Botswana now and get about 8 minutes.

John, 2 questions #1 how did the attack and work this time and #2 would you recommend runway 2-3 with the winds you had on the surface?

John, did you say the viz was down at the approach end of 1/7? At the far end of 17 the visibility is down. Copy that. At the far end, did the winds aloft remain about the same?

John, thank you very much. We'll be signing off here. I'm sorry you guys not your fault.

Kangaroos right near there. He's gonna get that for you. Roger Jack. And in the meantime, the GN CS report to hear stars look good and your go to torque the Imus over.

Kind of open the morning controller's office. That's OK with you. Last step on Barbie D.

Kirsten Columbia, Roger. Go ahead, Gordo. We're ready, Gordo.

Landing opportunities at KFC and Northrop.

Landing this morning. At 7 days, 17 hours, 49 minutes mission elapsed time, this is shuttle control.

Landing time. On orbit #130 at Northrop in Central Standard Time.

Leave flight director Tommy Holloway and his team. The drawn team, of course, will take over control of the vehicle and prepare itself and astronauts Jack Glassman, Gordon Fullerton for deorbit and landing activities this morning.

Leaving the van which has transported them from the landing spot. Shaking hands with.

Ledger. Columbia, Houston. One note of interest. The burn take will occur on the next time around, about 18 seconds after AOS at Yagadi.

Lemmy Houston, where 30 seconds Los will pick you up at Arroyo Valley in two.

Let me repeat that once more. The Hutchinson Orbit team presently on console will begin to hand over to the Haldron Achu. I'm sorry, correct that to the Tommy Holloway asset team handover beginning.

Let me use some reminder on the speed break. 100% OK I got him.

Let's do it. OK on panel R-102 and H2 tank 3 heaters, alpha to auto.

Let's see, we got the heaters and auto but. Port temp is selected.

Life and mission power is on. This is show control Columbia out of range at Aurora Valley now.

Like an item 38 to inhibit the RM on S5L. Then you can perform a bubble 3 on 4/8 to get back on the verniers over.

Like Derek, it was used out at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL.

List of shuttle control at six days, 23 hours, 25 minutes mission lapse time.

Little bump it around Mark 2. Roger, a high scattered cirrus deck over the field. Surface winds 180 at 11 altimeter 3003 over 3003 and Roger the wind.

Look at the big map there. Maybe that's not, I beg your pardon? We're looking at northwest step right now and it is Dusty looking down there.

Looks good Jack. I have one thing for Gordo on panel R1. We need the cryo tank. 3 heaters off please.

Looks like Botswana in 25 minutes. OK, we'll get back to work here.

Looks like it's a little overcast around Houston, but clearing up and Galveston today too. Brewster.

Looks like Tacan too at a momentary hiccup there and sailed out in azimuth. I'll just leave it alone. Copy that passing 97,000 now positive seats.

Looks like we got her made here, Booster. OK, Jack, that's fine.

Many operations people that are here graduating them on their successful mission and will be entering the medical facility for a brief medical exam.

Mark 10.6. Should be crossing the border into the United States about now.

Maybe somebody lightning? Columbia, Houston, we're still seeing a bit of flow into the cabin. And do you recall closing the 14.5 cabin Reg inlets?

Melissa, Shuttle control at six days, 21 hours, 51 minutes mission elapse time.

Mission Control Houston at 7 days, five hours, 29 minutes. During that pass, the crew is instructed to configure the vehicle to get on the Vernier Reaction Control system. Jets are getting them off the big primary jets, which of course.

Mission Control, Houston. The Shuttle Mission Control less than a minute away from acquisition of signal in Santiago. During that loss of signal period, Flight Director Neil Hutchinson queried the payloads officer about the impact of the mission on some of the items on board, such as the plant growth unit, which of course will benefit from the extra day in space. No impact on the mono dispersed latex reactant experiment and got assurances that there are enough cryogens on board to keep the el...

Mission Controller Houston at 7 days, five hours, 18 minutes.

Mission elapsed time is now 7 days, five hours, 6 minutes. This is Mission Control.

Mission elapsed time of seven days, 21 hours, 9 minutes. This is Shuttle control, Houston, NASA 946 Houston, We're back with you for about 11 minutes.

Momentarily our first contact of the day with a crew.

More than two minutes earlier than the predicted end of blackout.

Moving that over Africa toward the Indian Ocean station. In 12 1/2 minutes.

Mr. Gerto. Berto Well, we've got you going to sleep about MET at 7:30 tonight and wake up about 16 hours over.

Mr. Gordo. I don't know. We've got you going to sleep about MET at 7:30 tonight and wake up about 16 hours over.

Mr. Shuttle Control at 7 days, 20 hours, 41 minutes mission lapse time.

Mr. Shuttle Control, there has been no decision yet to redesignate the Runway 2-3. If that decision is made, we'll.

Mr. Shuttle Control, we had acquisition of signal more than two minutes earlier.

Mutually understood by both teams. Mission labs time now 7 days, 16 hours, 30 minutes. This is shuttle Mission Control.

Nice solid burn so far. Houston, Roger.

No information yet on when the wake up time.

No, that occurred to me. Discharged the extinguisher into the air base. Copy Thank you.

Northrop and providing recommendations on. Winds, the best runways and.

Northrop strip that White Sands, New Mexico. Touchdown 46 minutes from now.

Not .9 in speed brakes going to 100% now. 3 1/2 minutes from touch.

Not at all. Gordo, one reminder, if you should get some multiple leak messages on the primary jets, it's probably a false fail indication due to those low fuel injector temps we talked about before and you'd want to reselect those jets or?

Not having. Cdr, if you'll stand by, let me run the sequence 21 and then we'll get.

Nothing that I know of right now, Jack. We got 10 minutes to go.

Now airborne over Northrop Strip providing winds aloft information.

Now, what do you think of that proposal? Roger, Jack, that sounds good to us. Just a quick overview on what we're thinking tonight. We're planning on putting you to bed here in about two hours and we're looking at a wake up around 16 hours MET.

Occurring that. 8:39 AM.

Of this month or actually on the 7th of April?

Oh great, we got 3 minutes to go and it's a good morning here. We're trying to set you up for 1:29 to North Object.

Oh yeah, good idea. OK.

Oh, can I check the top side? Say again, Jack.

Oh, I see, I'm still here. It's plugged in and. I don't know what the problem is, Roger.

Oh, OK. In Columbia, after this pass, we'd like you to terminate the interconnect, go back on normal feed and a reminder to perform the item 5 prior to the item 7 for the gauging protection over.

OK Gordo, we got some teleprinter messages coming up that'll outline the changes you need to put in your deorbit prep the mission summary with the game plan, and I have ACRT timer update for a countdown to TIG at Northrop on 1/29 over.

OK is very, very weak. Again Brewster. Copy that, Jack, I don't have anything for you now.

OK send my one please. We got the star trekers going right away and got some stars in there already.

OK Steve, I understand you wanted to know about the rat heaps ETO and when. Just as advertised. No bills, no bills, no whistles and just plain vanilla. Good news, Jack. We'll see you at the States.

OK that's the item 38 we got half 5R in the same condition. He's looking at a lake too. Should leave him alone.

OK we copy one letter. 431-7038 right 3 balls 1005200.6503015420360 right hand turn to Northrop 17 Gotcha wins. The big win is at 30,000 feet. Surface is 20010 to 22.
