Flight Readiness Review

Overnight e-mails make me pretty sure the FRR was signed off yesterday. Griffin press conference is set for Thursday afternoon.

From http://www.nasa.gov/returntoflight/main/index.html

"At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the two-day Flight Readiness Review is set to conclude today as early as 12:00 p.m. EDT.   A press conference will follow, starting no earlier than 12:30 p.m. A new Space Shuttle launch date for mission STS-114 could be announced. The exact time of the conference depends on the meeting's conclusion."

Just spoke to my manager (who spoke to his). The FRR WAS completed yesterday.

I don't know what manager, but that is not true at all. I know someone who was at the continuing meeting this morning.

Maybe some people left early.

"The Flight Readiness Review is expected to wrap up a bit earlier than expected. NASA has moved the news conference to announce shuttle Discovery's official launch date from 4 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. EDT"

Given I'm not in Florida to personally ask people I'll have to submit to that and note it on the site. We had two more departments say it was over (today) which would fit in with the FRR winding down to just a handful of core managers....so I'm not going to sit here and say I'm right, from 5,000 miles away
