Hi SSM2007 fellows!

Here are my pics from yesterday launch - I was located at Titusville after we attended 3 scrubs.

Anybody see the re-docking of the OBSS on NASA TV? Looks pretty cool. FYI

Yes, I'm watching, but now is late and I thinking to go to bed within few minutes. Very interesting to see.

We had our viewing point at the parking area. I used a 500mm tele.

"A 15-minute firing by Endeavour's steering jets has been completed. The maneuver boosted the shuttle-station stack by about 4,500 feet to ensure the complex would not pass too close to a piece of space junk."

Just read this on spaceflightnow.com -- I wonder just how much fuel was expended to accomplish this...

Great question.  No doubt that is a LOT of mass to move.

EVA #2 is just starting. Depress finished, hatch opened and thermal cover moved.

Wolf had to stop EVA activity to cover the metal rings of Marshburn's legs with thermal cloth because he had forgotten :







I wonder if this will be implemented when STS 127 is released for SSM

Any word on the TPS condition? Has NASA given the go for reentry?

Yep deorbit prep countdown is going smoothly. We're at page 1-15 (blocks 13,14 and 15 almost completed). OPS 3 transition made and targets loaded successfully

Entry Flight Director Bryan Lunney gave a "go" for payload bay door closure. The weather at Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility is currently observed and forecast "go" for the first landing opportunity at 10:48 a.m. EDT. The team will continue to monitor weather before making the decision at approximately 9:22 a.m. whether to press ahead with the deorbit burn. The burn would occur at 9:41 a.m. EDT for that first landing opportunity.

Go for the Deorb.
