Transcript
This is Mission Control Houston. This view is being taken with the glow camera. House dinner endeavors payload bay is one of four different experiments that are hitching a ride with the International Extreme Ultraviolet hitchhiker payload that is housed in the first and in diverse payload bay. In this case it's one which is of interest for the ultraviolet imaging telescope or UIT. The opportunity for acquiring that target is a bit shorter than some of the previous ones. We have about 20 minutes possible for this target. So we'll be standing by to see if the procedure that's being performed by a journey again will work out. Again it's a particular procedure known as initial star acquisition and identification. It's going back to a slightly longer procedure so that the celestial coordinates can be updated in the instrument pointing system software.
