Shuttle, Station Crews Wrap Up Last Day Together

The Planning Shift of flight controllers in Mission Control, Houston, awakened the crews of space shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station at 3:23 a.m. EST with “Spaceship Superstar” by Prism, played for the whole crew.

Today, the 12 crew members will spend their final hours together, transfer some payload science samples from a freezer aboard the station to one on Discovery, say their goodbyes and close the hatches between the spacecraft.
