I just got done watching NASA Select with Atlantis in orbit and preparing for
OMS-2.  One interesting thing about this launch I hadn't seen before is that
they apparently are using an OMS burn about 4 or 5 minutes into the launch
(while the main engines are still firing).  Anyone have any details about the
why's and wherefors of this extra engine firing?

Jim.
