Mission Control Status #7
STS-41 MCC STATUS REPORT 7
FLIGHT DAY THREE
2 a.m. CDT
The crew aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery was awakened
this morning just prior to 1 a.m. central time to the sounds
of the United States Coast Guard Hymn, honoring mission
specialist Bruce Melnick and the Coast Guard bicentennial.
Crew commander Dick Richards and Discovery pilot Bob Cabana
have a busy day on the flight deck to look forward to with a
number of orbital maneuvers planned to support a variety of
test objectives and continued SSBUV operations conducted by
Melnick and mission specialist Tom Akers.
Mission specialist Bill Shepherd will team with Melnick to
perform the second of three planned demonstrations of the
Voice Command System, continuing to explore the effects of
microgravity on voice characteristics and the viability of
voice recognition commanding systems in space.
All systems aboard Discovery continue to function without
flaw, leaving the crew and flight controllers in Houston to
concentrate all efforts on the science and research
objectives of the mission.
