Discovery Undocks from International Space Station

Sat, 17 Apr 2010 07:59:35 -0500

Space shuttle Discovery undocked from the International Space Station at 8:52 a.m. EDT. Shuttle Pilot James P. Dutton, Jr. will grab the stick and perform a fly around of the station, enabling his crewmates to conduct a photo survey of the complex.

Weather permitting, the deorbit burn is planned for 7:43 a.m. Monday, leading to a landing at 8:51 a.m. at Kennedy Space Center’s Shuttle Landing Facility.

NASA Television will air a Mission Status Briefing at 11:30 a.m. to discuss the progress of the STS-131 mission.
