you know that it would be
if untrue was to say to you
girl we couldn't get much higher
good morning endeavor we hope you're all
fired up this morning for another day in
space
before he can get ready to open the door
and light up the stew
roger that and this morning's music was
a special message for ms3
yeah chris uh
it looks like that we are tracking and
we're getting data on the
pgsc with the little dots on the screen
and it looks like it's giving us the
correct information
we copy
the rendezvous and proximity operations
program
showing endeavor a fairly stable
position in relation to the pam stew
satellite at a distance of about 2200
feet
go ahead dan
yeah chris if uh you can let us know
what they think on the ground we're
getting intermittent tracking and not
tracking and just trying to tell if
that's a uh normal signature
copy we're
having a look at the ground version of
the data as well we'll get back as soon
as we have a conclusive answer okay
thanks
and landon now appears to be uh five
degrees
um
very little cody
copy dan it sure looks like uh the
science was correct and it's damped
itself right down
looks great
for pampers to estimate lambda now at
three degrees or less
that's good news dan
endeavor has moved out of range of the
communications network as the vehicle
was
station keeping at a distance of about
2200 feet from the pam stew satellite
the
crew reporting the satellite looked like
it was in a very stable uh position
which prompted uh
spacecraft communicator chris hadfield's
comment
that
it appears to be holding its attitude
and correcting its attitude
using the aerodynamically stabilized
system rather than propellants as
was designed
the
payload community is
evaluating the data
that's being returned from the
instruments in the payload bay that make
up the attitude measurement system
they have yet
as yet determined
not as yet determined whether that
attitude measurement system is locking
onto the
pamsteu satellite
gathering
targeting data on the satellite
or whether it
again is locking onto a another target
either in the payload bay
of the or somewhere in the payload bay
of the orbiter
endeavor we have good bright video of
stu on the ground now
okay
yeah chris uh you've probably seen uh
this on the ground too with the video
you've gotten so far
but uh we've been seeing um very little
coding basically it's
what we've been seeing is a yaw
and
the lambda the greatest lando we have
seen is probably
10 to 12 degrees
dan we copy and concur and it sure looks
like it's down to uh almost nothing
right now
yeah
we concur and we've been kind of holding
close uh
kurt's been flying pretty close to the
v-bar to to confirm that
and uh
really
hard to give you any uh any indication
about any role that we see
but uh can probably pick that up uh from
the recorded video or what what you see
coming down
space station mir this is shuttle
endeavour hello yuri yuri and shannon we
wish you continued success during your
mission on mir congratulations to yuri
and yuri on a successful eva everything
is fine on the shuttle uh how is it
going on miranda
you very much endeavor for your good
wishes how are you doing how are you
feeling
so far we haven't seen you we haven't
been able to see shuttle flying by too
bad
we're here how are you doing
well we're doing just fine shannon we're
on our ninth day and we're in the middle
of
station keeping on a rendezvous with a
small test satellite
it's been a very exciting flight for us
it's uh fourth rendezvous
wow that's a lot that is really neat
well let's see i'm in my uh 60 somewhat
day and you're in yuri you're um in
there
oh 90 days
somewhere around in there
and everything is going along just real
fine with us and we're doing just great
that's good to hear i i can't imagine
being up there for uh i guess you said
six to five days and you're in yuri
ninety days so
we're wondering if you uh had gotten
into the parota experiments yet
uh yes we've gotten started working in
florida and uh everything so far has
been going along just real well and
since i've been up here yuri and uri
have done two ebas they've done those in
the last week they did one before i got
here and now they're getting ready to do
another one this weekend and it was just
really exciting watching them out there
working on the space station and doing
their ebay
how many more days are you going to be
up john
we're supposed to come back uh it's
supposed to be a 10-day flight so flight
day 11 will
do the deorbit burn and come back that
sounds like a short time compared to the
length of time you've been up there
yeah it really is funny how your
perspective changes and that really does
seem like an awfully short time well you
know as long as you're up here you might
as well drop in and have tea with us i
we have a request to you we'd like you
to pass on our best wishes to sts-76
crew members upon your return
and shannon also would like to find out
for the status on the atlantis that's
supposed to dock with us in august and
uh how john blaha is doing as well
okay we will pass on uh greetings to the
76 crew
and as far as i know atlantis is on
track shannon they're going to come and
get you in august
well you can tell everybody that i'm
getting along just real fine and also
you can pass along uh you know to all
the people in our office that this is
really a great deal and i'm really
having a good time and
you know
they all ought to sign up for the
program if they get a chance
thank you very much for your good luck
wishes we also wish you good luck and a
very successful flight
as well as soft landing thank you
thank you very much
yeah it was really good talking to you
john
it's funny i thought you know i thought
that maybe at some point we would fly
together but i never thought we'd be in
space
uh at the same time but in different
vehicles but this is pretty neat
i know this is amazing well it's good
talking to you shannon we'll let you get
back to work
uh we need to uh
get our uh our ku that is now you're
being used for calm we need to get that
back into our radar mode to track our
satellites
i'll say again goodbye and thanks very
much
okay goodbye
thank you
thank you very much to mcc houston and
mcc uh moscow for coordinating this
event
you
