STS-134 Report #15 4:30 p m CDT Monday, May 23, 2011 Mission Control Center, Houston, Texas

HOUSTON ï¿½ Endeavour astronauts said goodbye to half of their International Space Station colleagues Monday afternoon as the Expedition 27 crew members prepared to return to Earth

Commander Dmitry Kondratyev and Flight Engineers Paolo Nespoli and Cady Coleman said their farewells to station crewmates and closed the hatch of their Soyuz TMA-20 spacecraft at 1:45 p m That was about two hours after Endeavour astronautsï¿½ sleep period had begun Undocking is set for 4:35 p m

The Soyuz was to pause at a distance of about 200 yards, allowing Nespoli to gather imagery of the station and Endeavour, before moving away from the area Landing on the steppes of Kazakhstan is scheduled for 9:26 p m

Endeavour crew members had most of the day off after the demanding and successful activities of their mission to this point

Commander Mark Kelly and Mission Specialist Mike Fincke answered questions Sunday night from youngsters among about 400 kindergarten to fifth-grade students at Mesa Verde Elementary School in Tucson, Ariz

Later in their day, members of Endeavourï¿½s crew had a privatized conversation with spacewalk experts at the Mission Control Center The chat was a review of activities of the missionï¿½s second spacewalk on Sunday Spacewalkers Andrew Feustel and Mike Fincke, intravehicular officer Greg Chamitoff and Kelly participated from Endeavour

At about 8:30 a m , Mission Specialist Roberto Vittori and fellow Italian Nespoli talked with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano in Rome

The next status report will be issued after crew wakeup or earlier if warranted

HOUSTON ï¿½ The combined Endeavour and International Space Station crew is now down to nine following the first Soyuz departure in history while a space shuttle was docked to the station

Following the 4:35 p m CDT departure, a similarly unprecedented photo session from the Soyuz documented the 1 million pound complex while shuttle remained docked, and the station was commanded to slowly rotate for the photographer

With former station commander Dmitry Kondratyev manually controlling the spacecraft, European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli climbed into its habitation module and documented the view of the station and shuttle from a distance of about 600 feet NASA astronaut Cady Coleman also is returning home on the Soyuz, which is scheduled to land in Kazakhstan at 9:26 p m

The Expedition 27 crew members departed about two hours after the Endeavour astronautsï¿½ sleep period had begun Endeavourï¿½s crew had most of the day off

The Endeavour crew, and now Expedition 28 flight engineer Ron Garan, were awakened at 7:26 p m to the song ï¿½Svegliarsi La Mattina (Woke Up This Morning)ï¿½ by the Italian duo Zero Assoluto, uplinked especially for Mission Specialist Roberto Vittori of Italy

STS-134 commander Mark Kelly, Pilot Greg Johnson, and Mission Specialists Andrew Feustel and Mike Fincke and Greg Chamitoff will lend their hands to space station tasks, installing a new filter inside the Oxygen Generation System to provide continuous carbon dioxide scrubbing whenever the oxygen systemï¿½s recirculation loop is running

Spacewalkers Fincke and Feustel will review procedures for Wednesdayï¿½s third spacewalk of the mission, along with intravehicular choreographer Chamitoff and the rest of the team Fincke and Feustel will get ready for the first use of the In-Suit Light Exercise Two interviews also are scheduled, the first with San Francisco and Sacramento reporters, and the second with Pittsburgh and Houston reporters
