Possible launch date move

[Chris Bergin]

FRR is complete, now from five sources....however, one is saying the launch date has been pushed back five days to noon July 18th to mitigate afternoon weather effects on launch constraints.

Checking it.

That would make sense and also help with any little issues that might arise between now and then.

[Chris Bergin]

This is still a rumour only.

The noon element may be "loose" wording as the official launch time for a July 18 launch would be between 1:46pm and 1:56pm with an "in plane" launch time of 1:51:41 pm (all EDT)

This is much more exciting than what I'm doing at work today

[NASA_LaRC_SP]

Man, I wish I had seen this before speaking to my manager about the FRR. But that info was right, so this could be a good rumor.

[NASA_Twix_JSC]

I don't know about the 18th, I have not heard that. But I have also heard the FRR was passed through yesterday.

[Chris Bergin]

This seems to be a case of ticking each departement off, as some of you guys seem to hear that at different times.

[FransonUK]

We could be just 30 mins away from the press conference.

[FransonUK]

Still waiting?

[Chris Bergin]

Yes, still waiting at the moment.

[Chris Bergin]

Here we go.
