Path clear to deorbit burn

Capsule communicator Chris Ferguson told Endeavour Commander Scott Kelly to proceed with the countdown for deorbit burn.

The deorbit burn will last 3:35 seconds and slow Endeavour by about 250 mph, which will start the process of re-entry. If all goes as scheduled, the first deorbit burn would come at 11:25 a.m., with landing at 12:32 p.m. at Kennedy Space Center.
