- The crew will rest before a busy day of flight tests and Earth return tasks, including testing orthostatic intolerance garments for blood pressure management.
- Following garment testing, the crew will manually pilot Orion, centering a target and adjusting its attitude, with a demonstration starting at 9:59 p.m. EDT.
