The crews of space shuttle Atlantis and the International Space Station have gone to sleep after a busy day of computer repair, transfer work, a call from President Barack Obama, and a series of media interviews.

Tomorrow, Flight Day 9, once again will be spent moving supplies and equipment back and forth between the space station and the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module. The crew is more than 70 percent done with the transfer activities.

The crew is scheduled to awaken at about 11:29 p.m. to another special wake up song, which – along with the mission’s previous wakeup calls – will be posted online at: http://1.usa.gov/ov7qD3.
