[b]First trajectory correction burn unneeded, crew prepares for lunar flyby[/b] Integrity continues on a precise trajectory to fly by the moon on Monday (April 6). Flight controllers elected to cancel the first outbound trajectory correction burn, as the spacecraft's trajectory is on the right path. Any adjustments needed may be incorporated into a subsequent correction burn. The crew began preparing Integrity's cabin for the lunar observation period on Monday, that is expected to begin around 2:30 p.m. EDT. Additionally, the astronauts exercised, practiced medical response procedures (CPR) and tested the spacecraft’s emergency communications system in deep space. The crew began their sleep period around 4 a.m. EDT. The ground team will wake them up to begin Flight Day 4 at 11:35 a.m. on Saturday (April 4).
