Congratulations! What a beautiful night launch! You're off to a great start, and today's activities will center around orbiter inspection and EMU checkout.

We successfully downloaded all of the ET Umbilical Well Camera photos. The new flash units were dramatic and effective.

Dom, you reported unexpected RCS jet firings during ET Sep. During ET Sep, the jet activity was atypical due to the DSC OL1 Card 1 failure removing jet L2D from the DAP. Normally, ET Sep commands all 6 Aft down jets and 4 Forward down jets. The ET Sep sequence started off firing all of those jets, except L2D was unavailable. This caused small errors to build, which the DAP controlled by cycling the Forward and Right down jets; the 2 Left down jets fired continuously throughout the ET Sep maneuver. This behavior is normal for this circumstance.

YOUR CURRENT ORBIT IS: 157 X 94 NM
