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.

"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.
Look, there's a telescope out there !

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  :D

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.
