You are a search legend Retired Downrange!

Sounds like it'll be something along those lines then!

Sounds like the DAM is not needed

Officially no DAM.

Howdy all ... I just read through this thread, thanks Ron and Chris B. for the transcribes. Has anyone heard news of SRB status? I'm hoping to catch them entering through the locks. Also does anyone know what radio frequency the ships use?

Usually one for the viewing thread, but we don't know yet. If it's not mentioned at the post-MMT we'll see it documented before long and will note it.

Robert's asked for you.

LeRoy: Plan is to do slip operations on Monday. Open assessment on Tuesday.

More on DAM:

Thrusters on the Progress will be used. It'll be a joint MCC-M, MCC-H effort.

What was the answer on the SRB Recovery Question I thought I heard Tuesday but I haven't seen anything else about it.

Thanks

The answer was "LeRoy: Plan is to do slip operations on Monday. Open assessment on Tuesday." - So arrival in port Monday, pull the boosters out and check them over on Tuesday. Robert Pearlman of collectSPACE.com asked the question.

Embargoed MPS downlink? If MPS meant engines in this context then it could be ITAR'd engine telemetry etc etc...

(A lot of the SSME data is hush hush).

Assuming they said or meant MPC -- i.e., based on the post that Retired Downrange found, sounds like it's personal/private HD video the crew shot, maybe for their friends and family...

MPS/ITAR -- that sounds intereting. Although still a headscratcher ... video?

FYI for those who don't know, MPC is part of the shuttle video processing chain, multi purpose converter or something like that. I've got a hardcopy of one of those PDFs at home

Thanks for the SRB info; I'll copy over to the viewing thread now if it's not already there. I'm momentarily spoiled by a functional internet connection and a real computer. I'll also use that to see if I can dig up the ship radio frequency(ies).

I'm told the video was nothing interesting at all. A personal message, nothing else.

Okay these are a little late but here they are. We got some pics at the launch pad on L-1 with our tribute t-shirts on. Many thanks to Ben Cooper for snapping these for us
