Cargo Transfers and Maintenance for Shuttle and Station Crews Today

The crews of space shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station awoke at 3:24 a.m. EST to the song “(Ohio) Come Back to Texas” by Bowling for Soup for the entire crew from their families.

Today, the crew will spend much of its time offloading the Permanent Multipurpose Module and filling the H-II Transfer Vehicle with items no longer needed aboard the station. They also will perform maintenance on the Oxygen Generation Assembly and the Carbon Dioxide Removal Assembly.
