STS-128 Wrapping up Mission

Shuttle and Station Crews Wrapping Up Joint Mission

The crew woke at 11:30 a.m. EDT to “Only One,” performed by Jeremy Kay and played for Mission Specialist Danny Olivas.

At 2:09 p.m. Mission Specialist Jose Hernandez and Flight Engineer Nicole Stott will take questions from reporters at Telemundo, WTSP-TV in Florida, and Univision.

The crew will close up the Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module today. Once configured, Pilot Kevin Ford will join Hernandez to use the station’s robotic arm to remove Leonardo from its location on the station and position it in the shuttle’s payload bay for the ride back to Earth.
With Leonardo in place, the crew members will gather one last time for farewells and hatch closure around 10:30 p.m.
