 Good morning, and we're happy to stay. Roger, we know you're all flying high, and have one more day to go. And we're ready to give you a good day's work out of it. Roger that. This is Mission Control Houston, the shift of flight controllers here on duty in Mission Control, awakening the crew on board Columbia this morning to the Electric Light Orchestra's Don't Bring Me Down. This is scheduled to be the final full day on orbit for the crew members of Columbia, in anticipation of a Sunday morning landing at the Kennedy Space Center, and setting a new record for the length of a shuttle mission. Go ahead. Be with the data, or do you need some data? Data looks good. This is Mission Control Houston, this television now coming from the Space Lab Science Module aboard Columbia, showing the astronauts in the final phase of their exercise and scientific research work in the module itself. At the rear of the picture is payload commander and flight engineer Susan Helms. Bob Thursk, without the shirt on, is the Canadian payload specialist on board. In the foreground, pumping away in the bicycle ergometer is pilot Kevin Kriegel. French payload specialist Jean-Jacques Favier is working with a lung function experiment on the right side of the picture. Again, all of this coming from the Space Lab Science Module, where research has gone on for the past 17 days, and is continuing now in the final hours of that work before payload and experiment hardware, and finally the Space Lab systems are deactivated later this morning, wrapping up the science phase of this mission as the astronauts transition to the pre-landing preparations, which began earlier this morning with the reaction control system hot-fire test and the flight control system checkout. All of that activity by the flight controllers here in Mission Control successfully completed several hours ago. This is Mission Control Houston in the center of your view from the Space Lab module is Canadian payload specialist Bob Thursk wearing the hockey jersey of National Hockey League Hall of Famer Bobby Orr, a Boston Bruins All-Star for many years in the National Hockey League. Thursk wearing that in tribute of the game that he loves in the National Sport of Canada. Again, that jersey belonging to National Hockey League great Bobby Orr, carried on board Columbia by Bob Thursk in tribute to the game of hockey in the National Hockey League. Payload Commander Susan Helms is right above Thursk, pulling out some gear from an overhead locker. Kevin Kriegel at the bottom of the picture continuing to pedal along on the bicycle ergometer, while French payload specialist Jean-Jacques Favier continues to operate at the Lung Function Experiment on the right side of your picture. At the rear of the picture coming into view is Mission Specialist Chuck Brady. He'll be holding the camcorder on the flight deck tomorrow for the first in-cabin views aboard Columbia about 11 or 12 minutes before landing while the orbiter is traveling at about 11 times the speed of sound in the final minutes before touchdown at the Kennedy Space Center. Mission Specialist Rick Linehan is at the rear of the picture near the tunnel that connects the Space Lab Science Module to the flight deck and the mid-deck of the orbiter. Payload Specialist Bob Thursk is performing a final calibration on the astronaut Lung Function Experiment, and he'll use a syringe containing a known volume of air to calibrate the instrument. In here it says we miss you and we know this is your last shift, but you've just done an outstanding job for the five of us and the payload crew and we just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate it and how we wish you were with us because we really missed you. Thanks a lot, very heartfelt. Thank you. See you tomorrow. Here, Pedro laughing in the background there. We may not have video by the time he goes off shift, so Pedro, notice your name is on this note too and if you can't read it, it says we miss you Pedro and Luca and the same applies to your state. Okay, yes, I'm here. I was not laughing, but I'm laughing now and thank you very much for everything and we really didn't think that you were going to make 100% but you did 110%, so it's a lot of joy here. Okay, the best part about this mission has been the fact we've done so well, getting to science and there's only one thing wrong with this flight and that's that you two guys went with us. So we know you did good work down there and we really appreciate the great job you did, but it would have been a perfect flight if it had been a flight of nine. Yes, I think we can only agree to that and we will make a proposal to install two more seats for next time. I know you both will get your chance. We just hope we get to fly with you. Okay, then see you tomorrow somewhere in Earth. The payload crew saying they're on orbit farewells to Italian space agency alternate payload specialist Dr. Luca Urbani and for later from a perspective of not having a video from on orbit, they've also said they're on orbit farewells to ESA payload specialist Dr. Pedro Duque, of course the alternate payload specialists do train alongside the payload crew during all the pre-mission preparation for the space lab mission and support the on orbit operations from here in the space lab mission operations control. The life in microgravity space lab now in flight day 17, the final day of payload operations, which are drawing to a close as the crew of the shuttle Columbia prepares for its return to Earth tomorrow.
