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-118 crew wake-up call, Flight Day 6: 'Outta Space' by Billy Preston played for Mission Specialist Alvin Drew.
"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
