Discovery Payload Bay Camera

Discovery's Payload Bay camera is currently showing a view of that Spartan 204 satellite located in the aft section of Discovery's cargo bay. Again, that satellite will be used during grappled operations tomorrow and also will be used later in the flight in support of astronomical observations, perhaps flying free of the orbiter. All other systems on board Discovery are continuing to function very well. The orbiter is continuing to circle the earth every 90 minutes, tail pointed towards the earth with the payload bay pointed away from the direction of travel. At a mission elapsed time of 17 hours, 5 minutes, this is Mission Control, Houston. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Subtitles by the Amara.org community
