Space shuttle Atlantis’ astronauts will awaken at 9:59 p.m. EDT to begin Flight Day 13, the day before landing. They will do standard pre-landing checkouts of the shuttle’s flight control systems and reaction control system thrusters before deploying a PicoSat and fielding questions from network reporters.
Atlantis is scheduled to land at Kennedy Space Center just before 6 a.m. on Thursday.
