On Wednesday, space shuttle Discovery's crew will peform the Flight Control System checkout and the Reaction Control System hot-fire. Landing is scheduled for Thursday at 7:05 p.m. EDT at Kennedy Space Center. Discovery's undocking occurred Tuesday at 3:26 p.m. The fly-around took place as the shuttle flew about 650 feet from the station using its primary reaction control system steering jets rather than the normal vernier thrusters. The STS-128 crew completed all its major objectives. (source: nasa.gov)
