Discovery Given "Go" for Deorbit Burn

Mission Control Capcom Charlie Hobaugh gave space shuttle Discovery Commander Steve Lindsey a "go" for the deorbit burn. The shuttle’s two Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) engines will fire at 10:52 a.m. EST for two minutes, 31 seconds and slow Discovery by 188 miles per hour. Landing is expected at 11:57 a.m. at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, runway 15.

Weather is observed and forecast “go.”
