 This is Mission Control Houston. This live television picture from the end effector camera on the robot arm of Columbia being operated by Kulna Chawla from the aft flight deck control panel shows the end effector being moved in place for its eventual closure on the grapple fixture on the Spartan science satellite, which of course as you see by the sign is managed by the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The end effector now closing in for grapple on the Spartan satellite. Columbia Houston, everyone's go for unbirth of Spartan as soon as you're in attitude. Okay, we'll go for unbirth once we're in attitude. Columbia Houston, you have a go for Spartan release on time. Roger, go for Spartan release on time. Houston, Columbia, at B1 plus three and a half minutes and we do not see Spartan being up to it, so at B1 plus four we plan. Columbia, we concur. And Houston, we got a little tip off rate. It's rolling around. We'll go ahead and match it and re-grab them. And we copy? Air Mark, we're trying the best we can. It's got a pretty good rate on it. We're just kind of match it. Understand. We know you're working really hard and we're looking at other possible options and we'll get back to you. Columbia Houston, Kevin, for your information, we've got enough prop in the Ford RCS, another 5% margin before we're going to have to make a decision about separating. We'll keep you posted on that. When we reach that point, we're going to have to go into a separation, so we'll keep you posted. Okay, we'll try to get it. And that would be based on separating and being able to rendezvous subsequently with it to try to get it back. Columbia Houston, for Kevin, with our early thinking on our flight plan for the next few days, when you're ready. Yes, Kevin, what we're thinking of doing is a little later on today performing a phasing burn. And tomorrow carrying on with our original plan, which is to do the EMU checkout and the following day performing a rendezvous with Spartan and an EVA recapture. And we would like you to do a little thinking about it. It's obviously very early in our own thinking and we'd appreciate any feedback from you and we'll keep you abreast of any development in this plan. Okay, copy all.
