Wake-up calls are a long-standing tradition of the NASA program. Each day during the mission, flight controllers in the Mission Control Center will greet the crew with an appropriate musical interlude.

STS-122 crew wake-up call, Flight Day 5: "Fly Like an Eagle", written by Steve Miller and performed by another singer, was played for Mission Specialist Leland Melvin.

"Music is a great help because it sort of grounds you, and it gives you memories. I can only imagine what it's like to be up there looking back on Earth. I can imagine for the space crew when you're out there for such a long time and missing home that it would be very good to get a reminder that will take you back." ~ Paul McCartney
