Posted August 8, 200520 yr comment_659 The de-orbit burn bringing Space Shuttle Discovery's 13 Day and some odd hours mission to an end, will occur Monday morning at 3:44 AM EDT. It will be the first landing since the SS Coumbia disaster on February 1, 2003. Discovery's mission has been marked with many concerns about its outer hull and its structural integrity for re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. Good luck Space Shuttle Discovery and the crew of STS-114, continuing NASA's mission to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

August 8, 200520 yr Author comment_689 Heh they have had non-stop coverage of STS-114. I watch it every day. They had coverage of the launch and are covering the preaparations right now. In about an hour and a half, they are gonna be executing the de-orbit burn which will be covered on the NASA channel. They follow it all the way to touch-down and beyond. I was watching it when they declared the state of emergency for Columbia. They even broadcast the radio transmissions between the shuttle and Mission Control. On the day of the launch, they cover it non-stop until liftoff from the pad and Kennedy Space Center then replay all the different camera angles of the launch for the rest of the day. NASA Channel is awesome, I love it
