STS-117 MCC Status Report #29
The astronauts on space shuttle Atlantis are getting ready for a second day of landing attempts with a chance to conclude the mission, in Florida or California.
Poor weather prevented a landing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida yesterday. Today Entry Flight Director Norm Knight will work with two opportunities to KSC and three chances at Edwards Air Force Base in California to bring Atlantis home. The Florida weather forecast includes the possibility for more thundershowers; the Edwards forecast is more favorable.
The crew’s wakeup song this morning, “The Marines’ Hymn,” was played for the mission commander, Col. Rick Sturckow, USMC.
The crew should begin deorbit preparations at 8:12 a.m. and close the payload bay doors at 9:32 a.m. Here are predicted times for today’s landing opportunities (all CDT):
| ORBIT | SITE | DEORBIT BURN | LANDING |
