STS-135 MCC Status Report No. 13
Thursday, July 14, 2011, 4:30 p.m. CDT

Continuing cargo transfer, news media interviews and exercise sessions kept
Atlantis crew members busy Thursday morning. They enjoyed some welcome
off-duty time during their afternoon.

Unloading of the multi-purpose logistics module Raffaello's 9,400 pounds of
cargo was well over half complete. Transfer of its remaining cargo to the
International Space Station was expected to be finished Friday or Saturday.

Raffaello is to be reloaded with almost 5,700 pounds of gear from the
station, mostly unneeded equipment and trash. It is to be replaced in
Atlantis' cargo bay Monday morning for return to Earth.

A little before their midday meal, about 6 a.m. CDT, shuttle commander Chris
Ferguson and Mission Specialist Sandra Magnus talked with representatives of
FOX News Radio and KTVI-TV and KSDK-TV, both in St. Louis. All four shuttle
crew members chatted with WBBM-TV of Chicago, KTVU-TV of Oakland, Calif.,
and WTXF-TV of Philadelphia at about 8:20 a.m.

Afterward the shuttle crew had most of the afternoon off. Station crew
members also had some free time early in their afternoon.

The crew's supper was special. That All-American Meal was initially
scheduled for July 4 but wound up being enjoyed today because of Atlantis'
launch delay. Grilled chicken, corn, baked beans, cheese and more, topped
off with apple pie, were on the menu.

The next status report will be issued after crew wakeup or earlier if
warranted. The crew is scheduled to awaken at 11:29 p.m.
