STS-135 MCC Status Report No. 10
Wednesday, July 13, 2011, 1:30 a.m. CDT

The space shuttle Atlantis crew received a special wakeup call today to kick
off flight day 6 of the STS-135 mission.

"Good morning, Atlantis, this is Elton John," the British singer said in a
pre-recorded message. "We wish you much success on your mission. A huge
thank you to all the men and women at NASA who worked on the shuttle for the
last three decades."

The message followed the day's wakeup song, John's "Rocket Man," which was
played at 1:29 a.m. It was not the first time the song has been played in
space -- "Rocket Man" has awakened four shuttle crew's in the shuttle
program's 30-year history, and it was one of NASA's top 40 wakeup call songs
listed for voter selection during a contest to commemorate space shuttles
Discovery and Endeavour's last missions. In that contest, it earned nearly
5,000 votes from the public.

With the mission's one spacewalk successfully behind them, Atlantis' crew
will return its focus today to unpacking the Raffaello multipurpose
logistics module. The crew started the day 26 percent through the combined
15,069 pounds of cargo to transfer in or out of Raffaello -- 9,403 pounds
that launched on Atlantis and 5,666 pounds that it will bring home when it
lands.

In addition, the crew will be taking some time out of its work at 11:54 a.m.
to talk with reporters from WBNG-TV and WICZ-TV in Binghamton, New York, and
KGO-TV of San Francisco.

The next status report will be issued at the end of the crew's day or
earlier if warranted. The crew is scheduled to go to bed just before 4:30
p.m.
