HOUSTON: Main engine cutoff confirmed eight minutes, 35 seconds into
the flight. Separation of the fuel tank has also been confirmed. The crew
handheld photography setup will be under way shortly with a "plus-X"
maneuver that's managed by the commander on board, Rick Sturckow.
Atlantis falling away, you can see the thruster jets firing as the orbiter is
being maneuvered for the handheld photography.
VOICE: Atlantis, Houston. We show a nominal
MECO. OMS 1 is not required.
