STS-134 Report #29 6 a m CDT Monday, May 30, 2011 Mission Control Center, Houston, Texas

HOUSTON � Endeavour undocked from the International Space Station at 10:55 p m CDT Sunday, ending a stay of 11 days, 17 hours and 41 minutes at the orbiting laboratory

�Endeavour departing,� said Expedition 28 Flight Engineer Ron Garan after the traditional ringing of the station�s bell �Fair winds and following seas �

Pilot Greg Johnson, at the aft flight deck controls, flew Endeavour in a circle around the station at distances of about 450 to 650 feet Crew members took still and video images of the station

As Johnson was about to begin the flyaround, Commander Mark Kelly radioed mission control that he could see the $2 billion Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer particle physics detector Endeavour had brought to orbit �It�s a new day for science on the space station,� he said to mission control

After the flyaround and a separation burn, Kelly took the controls for a test of an automated rendezvous and docking system called STORRM, for Sensor Test for Orion Relative Navigation Risk Mitigation Endeavour moved about 20,000 feet above and behind the station, then to a point below and behind it

Kelly subsequently maneuvered the shuttle on a rendezvous-like course, winding up at a point about 950 feet below the station There the shuttle did a separation burn, beginning its departure from the area with the STORRM sensors still tracking the station until contact was lost Initial reports were that the test had produced good data All Endeavour crew members, including Mission Specialists Mike Fincke, Roberto Vittori, Drew Feustel and Greg Chamitoff, were scheduled for almost four hours of STORRM work

In addition to the AMS, Endeavour left a substantial cargo carrier with spare parts on the outside of the station It also delivered equipment and supplies to the station�s interior Shuttle crew members did four maintenance and installation spacewalks and considerable maintenance work inside the station

This flight, Endeavour�s last, is its 26th Twelve of its missions have taken it to the station (and on one flight it visited the Russian space station Mir) The 12 missions are among 36 visits to the orbiting laboratory by shuttles Orbiters have spent a total of almost 268 days docked there

Back at the station Expedition 28 Commander Andrey Borisenko and Flight Engineers Alexander Samokutyaev and Garan are getting some extra rest and shifting back to their regular schedule

Endeavour is scheduled to land at Kennedy Space Center at 1:35 a m on Wednesday

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

STS-134 Report #30 7 p m CDT Monday, May 30, 2011 Mission Control Center, Houston, Texas

HOUSTON � The astronauts on space shuttle Endeavour got a special wakeup call Monday to kick off a day devoted to preparing the orbiter and its crew for their return to Earth this Wednesday

The wakeup call at 5:57 p m CDT featured the original composition �Dreams You Give� by Brain Plunkett, the second place winner in the Space Shuttle Program�s Original Song Contest, which drew more than 1,300 entries More than a million votes were cast online by the general public to choose two songs from among 10 finalists to be played to the astronauts; the top vote-getter will be played to wake up the crew tomorrow

At 8:06 p m all six crew members will start their day talking about the flight in a series of interviews with ABC News, CBS News, CNN, NBC News, and Fox News Radio

An hour later Commander Mark Kelly, Pilot Greg Johnson and Flight Engineer Roberto Vittori will take their places on Endeavour�s flight deck and work with the entry flight control team on a routine pre-entry checkout of the shuttle�s flight control systems and reaction control system jets Most of the rest of the crew�s day will be spent packing items throughout the crew cabin in preparation for the planned landing at the Kennedy Space Center at 1:35 a m Wednesday

At 11:26 tonight the six crew members will also take time for a tribute to Endeavour, speaking about the history of the youngest space shuttle and the work accomplished by its crews during its 25 trips to space
