On flight day 13, Leroy Cain, STS-114 Ascent/Entry Flight Director, discusses the condition of the Space Shuttle Discovery, and the weather outlook for landing. He answers questions from the news media about his feelings about re-entry since the Columbia tragedy, possible new information during re-entry, critical moments in the Mission Control Room during landing, and differences between night landing and day landing. Footage of the Mission Control Room and a talk with Soichi Noguchi in orbit is shown. Also, footage of the truss structure of the International Space Station, Destiny Laboratory, crew cabin of Discovery, and the Orbiter Docking System linked up to forward docking port on Discovery is shown. Eileen Collins and Wendy Lawrence are shown in the flight deck of Discovery. Charles Camarda is also shown in the mid-deck. Downlink television from Discovery shows spacewalk choreographer Andy Thomas with Stephen Robinson and Soichi Noguchi preparing for depressurization and pre-breathing activities that will lead to the opening of the hatch. The installation of a replacement GPS antenna, images of the port wing of Discovery and Canadarm moving with the Orbital Boom Sensor System (OBSS) extension is shown.
