 module. We'll have you back at 1409 on the ZOE. Houston, thank you very much for that inspirational music. We're ready to answer the call, and you timed it perfectly. We were just coming into a beautiful sunrise. Okay, Houston, we have OSDS data. Maintenance is required. It says, for OSDS, check out step four. Record roll one and send for five minutes. That's all complete. Then it says to power off OSDS. I wanted to make sure that they in fact want to power it off now and not wait till later. Yes, we have. And we'd like to get the switch box prior to the cabin repress. Start working on the switch box. Do you want to wait until we're OSDS? You guys can see that. And before we lose you, we are also ready for RMS Ungrapple. All those activities during the OSDS, do you want to wait on the OSDS? You can press on. Do I understand we'll go to Ungrapple before we get the switch box? Switch box first and then Ungrapple. Okay, thank you. NL-A7L, heaters slash DCU power three down please. Go for cabin repress. LOS, we'll get you 22 hours and 17 minutes. Low video, rigor. If you're not using camera, delta, we're approaching a thermal limit. We'd like to power it down. Okay, he's headed back. He'll turn it off. And Jim, we thought we'd give you an AP story that I'm reading right here that the federal employees are reporting to work today as usual. And what we expect that as much as 40% of the federal workforce will be sent home sometime later in the day due to our budget situation. Listen, LOS call before you go home, huh? LOS call, will go. You could take it whenever you want to. We have a good image up in the docking module. Fun place to enjoy yourself in zero gravity. I don't think it'll be empty for long, Dave, but it's a nice bit of space right now. Your lighting looks good and your focus looks good. The last astronauts have finished the first step in a major goal of the space program, assembling a space station in orbit. The crew is joining us live. We thought they'd be on the shuttle's flight deck, but in fact, they're doing live television from places that have never been done before. The Russian-built docking tunnel has landed speeds over the Mediterranean Sea, trailing the mirror by about 900 miles and closing at a rate of 119 miles each orbit. Commander Ken Cameron, does it worry you that the U.S. government is prepared to shut down in an hour or two and NASA will probably have only a bare-boned staff in a few hours to support your mission? No, we're not worried. We know that we have a very dedicated team at NASA supporting this mission, both within the government and also with the many contractors that support the space shuttle. We realize that there's a lot going on in the financial world and in the echelons of government, but the NASA family will look out after each other and we know that mission control and the many folks in NASA are taking care of us. For pilot Jim Hulso, what's been the biggest surprise of this flight for you so far? Compared to my first flight, we're flying in a slightly higher altitude. I can see a lot more of the Earth every time I look out the window. And the sun angles just happen to be lower, so we get a lot of perspective, a lot of shadows that bring out a lot of relief of the Earth. So flying over the Andes or over the Himalayas or over the Ops is just a spectacular experience and it's something I'm not sure to get. Yeah, Chris Hatfield is a Canadian member of the crew. Chris, how does the docking this morning go from your perspective as you put the tunnel where you're standing or floating right now onto the shuttle's airlock? And when you're done, please pass the microphone over to Commander Cameron for the same question for him as far as how the connection of these two pieces went. It went perfectly. I had the chance to use the Canadarm, the robot arm that built by Canada that's put on the shuttle today and it worked exactly like it had in the best of our training simulators in Houston. I picked it up out of the back of the bay and brought it forward and then positioned it exactly where I wanted it to be using the onboard systems and the space vision system and the digital to come out of the arm. And then when we assembled it, it was built in Russia. It just worked exactly like everybody said, so it was letter perfect. Yeah, Commander, from your perspective you had to sort of drive the shuttle into this docking tunnel, didn't you? Yes, that was what we used to make the actual energy of contact with the thruster firing from the orbiter and this was something that we had given considerable thought to about what would be the required amount of energy, how would the mechanism work, what kind of tolerances had to be present on the surfaces and it had been worked out very thoroughly in Houston and in Moscow since this was the first time that we'd ever joined Russian and American hardware in quite this way. Another question for you, Commander. Do you have any concerns as you get ready to take a six-hour nap? I won't call it a full-night sleep and then get ready for tomorrow's docking with Amir himself. Everything is working pretty well. Well, we've had a series of busy days. If we can finish up all of our objectives today we'll probably try and wind down a little early and then everyone will be looking for a good-night sleep because as you said we have a very busy day tomorrow. One more question for Chris Hadfield if I can, Chris. You got to experience a shuttle launch for the first time two days ago. Describe it to us. It is spectacular. From about five minutes in when we knew for sure that we were going to have the weather to go the smile on my face just got bigger and bigger and I was just beaming through the whole launch. I mean it is an amazing ride. I've had a chance to fly a lot of different airplanes but there's nothing like the shuttle ride. Right, and if we've got time one last quick question for Jim Holtz out is what you're doing really worth it? Does the world really need a second space station in orbit right now? You better believe it, John. What we're doing is setting the groundwork for a series of experimental laboratories that are just going to meet a lot of mankind. The science that we're going to be able to bring home is to continue with scientific research on orbit. It's going to bring back a lot of payback to the people on Earth and that's what we're trying to achieve is to improve the lives of the people on Earth. All right, Commander Cameron and members of the Atlantis crew, thanks for allowing us to visit your flight back today. Good luck with the docking. We'll talk again later when you weigh something after you land next week. Gentlemen, thanks very much. Bill, Andrea, interesting. Thank you very much. First of all, you can do antenna cable repositioning beginning in the ZOE which is in about 12 minutes. You'll have an extended period to do the cable repositioning until 3 plus 35. That's about 20 minutes past AOS on the west. We'll get back to the cryo-config however you want to do it. Do the error log resets to SM and GNC after you do your CRT power down please. We talked about the drivers there in config and a heads up on the left ohms helium press A closed if you haven't gotten it yet and the PMC will be on the other side of the ZOE here coming up per the timeline but we're going to have bad calm like yesterday for about 10 or 15 minutes so we'll have to do it as we lock up cleanly we'll coordinate. Okay Jim first please on panel A15 5 heaters A and B 4 switches auto please taking over tank 5 to auto. And then next on R1 on R1 cryo-02 and H2 tank 1 heaters A and B all 4 switches off please. We sure appreciate all the support during today it's been a very exciting day we really made some big strides towards the ultimate goal we're real happy we're a little bit tired right now and so we really appreciate the chance to settle back and we'll probably try and turn in a little early tonight. Very good and we'll give you a little word on the flight plan by the way we did get a notice here and let's just say that there are a lot of good parking spots available. A couple of minutes for that last comment to sink in I didn't realize what what had happened I'm sorry to hear that in fact that people aren't coming to work because that hurts a lot of folks we are sure pleased and grateful that so many people are taking care of us as we mentioned at CNN and we'll rest assured that everybody necessary to safely conduct your mission is here and conducting the rest of our missions and hopefully this will be short-lived
