Transcript
So right now, mirror is about 850 nautical miles behind discovery. Mirror should be above the moon as you look at it. Okay. Our next event on NASA television will be our video highlights for flight day number 8. These video highlights which will last about 43 minutes will begin at 1 p.m. central time. In the meantime, after we wait a little bit to see if we can spot the mirror once it moves into the sun. We will be storing the KU band antenna and thus concluding the television downlink that we expect to get from the vehicle during this mission. We're at a mission laps time of 7 days 13 hours and 17 minutes. This is mission control of Houston. We'll see you in the next video. The mirror space station is now visible on the far left hand side of the screen about an inch from the bottom of this particular picture. There were also a number of shooting stars in that view. The camera has now moved to a point. The mirror space station is the small flashing light in the center about an inch from the left hand side of the screen. It's slowly. It is slowly moving closer to the left hand side and it has a very light flashing to it. We think in the middle of the screen way to the left hand side. We've seen a lot of meteors. The streaks that are shooting across the screen are meteorites and other word shooting stars. We think you can see a flashing light just a little bit to the left of the center of the screen very faint. We see something flashing visually but we're not sure that might be from our own leader. The mirror sunrise in about a minute. This is Mission Control Houston. Once again we believe we were just able to spot the mirror space craft as it flies about 850 nautical miles behind discovery. The space craft appeared as a very small flashing light and then moved out of the picture as the camera was being moved to try to get a different picture. The one thing that we have noticed in the flight control room is that we've seen a large number of shooting stars during this five minute or so period when we've been watching.
