Subject: SAREX is up and running!
On 6/21/96 at 21:12 UT (MET +1d 06h 23m 00s) Susan Helms KC7NHZ was heard
doing radio checks with hams on the ground.
Reminder - due to the special nature of this Spacelab mission the crew's
off-duty periods (e.g. pre-sleep and post-sleep) will occur at different
times each day. So listen before transmitting (always good advice) to
determine whether they're in voice or packet mode.
The following information is abridged from NASA's TV sched and is an
accurate schedule (note - Central Daylight Time) for the crew's wake/sleep
cycle. As a general rule the astronauts have to be awake to use the radio
in voice mode. ;-)
Note - an additional day is expected to be added to the mission, but the
decision will not be made until Flight Day 11. SAREX stow is currently
scheduled for 14 days 1 hour MET (July 4th) but may be rescheduled.
