Crew press conference now in progress. Bad weather could delay the landing at KSC or cause a change of landing site to Edwards.

[spaceboy7441]

1st KSC Landing attempt ordered a NOGO due to crosswinds.
2nd KSC Landing attempt less likely than the first.

[STS-120]

According to commentator  KSC is preferred to EDW, even if it means waving off today altogether.

[STS-120]

KSC is waved off altogether, considering EDW.

[spaceboy7441]

STS-120 you are supposed to let STS-126 cover STS-126 your STS-120

Just kidding

[STS-120]

 
Well picked the name since STS-120 was the first mission i followed back to back.

Payload Bay Doors Closed and Latched
Go for OPS 3 Transition

[KRHart]

Quick question:  If they close the doors, does that mean they are landing today?  I was just wondering how they can wait until tomorrow with the doors closed.  They have a closed cooling system don't they.

[spaceboy7441]

They can reopen them

[STS-120]

Edwards at 1625 EST (2125 GMT) it is.
