Major change in crew wakeup time. From 3:02 to 3:03. :)
-
SRB replays at 8:00 CT
-
Wakeup: Starship Enterprise Startrek theme for the crew from the Orbit 3 team.
Response: Live long and prosper
-
And we have the FD10 Execute Package available:

-
Shannon and the planning team signing off, 11 min LOS and when they come back Orbit 1 will be on desk.
-
Bejo, we all have our cross to bear. Maybe you'll make it to Australia next time around. :)
To be a little serious, where do you find those execute packages? I went ferreting around the nasa site today and I couldn't discover the path. Can you describe the navigation steps from the home page?

DAT final status this afternoon/evening, but already cleared the level 1 LDRI/IDC scans, per L2, so that's great news.

OK. That's the link. Now, to get there by point and click is not entirely obvious ( to me at least) but my reconstruction is:
NASA home page | missions (on the top menu bar) | current missions | Scroll down and select shuttle | Current missions (on left menu bar) | From the drop down list select news and media resources | Select Execute packages from the options on that page.
It's easy to get sidetracked if you click on current missions on the left menu bar. That will take you back to the list of missions.
If anyone has an easier point and click navigation then I'm all ears.
What's really interesting is that a search for "execute package" on nasa produces a bit of out of date stuff but nothing relevant. A search for STS 125 takes you to the current missions on the left menu bar as above.
Seems unnecessarily obscure but I guess its easy for 4 year olds to get to the pretty pictures.
Meanwhile views like this are becoming mundane. Bit sad really! Come on chaps, it may be a rest day but we are still seeing technological magic in action.

Preparing to stow the RMS

SOme impromptu video from flight deck during RMS stow.
Somewhat non standard check and response dialogue but getting the job done. Real people doing good things.

I try I mostly this way which seems a bit shorter to me:
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/home/index.html
Then go to "Space Shuttle latest news" - top left quadrant
"News and media resources" on the left navigation bar
click on the STS-125 Media Resources -> Execute Packages
And there you go! Maybe not that much easier or shorter, but thats how I do it!
And maybe I make it to Australia next time indeed

-
I just google it and then the address in is my Firefox history?
Hardly rocket science :|

That one works too but I can't get from the nasa home page to the spacefilght.nasa page by point and click navigation. I think that's a left over from the old site and not accessible unless you know its there. However we start, we end up in the same place with the left navigation bar.
Its in "News and media resources" on that page but you can't get there from the news menu on the front page.
This is just trivia and pretty much off topic into the bargain so I hope it is not annoying anyone. There is absolutely zilch happening on STS 125 at the moment (that we can see at least).
Bejo, if you come to Australia you'll find the dimensions have been rearranged, lots of horizontal and not much vertical. :)
-

The ancient art of search ;)
1. Using nasa.gov site
Go to home page - http://nasa.gov
In the search box type:
sts-125+execute+package
and click "search".
First link on the search results page.
(the key here is to use the "+" sign to let the site know you need documents containing ALL of these words.
2. One click method using Google ;)
Go to google.com
enter: sts-125+"execute packages"+inurl:nasa.gov
Click "I'm feeling lucky"
;)
-
Hardly rocket science :|
Nah, not rocket science. Just having a bit of a grumble about the nasa site design to fill in the time.
Stopping now. :-X
And thank you for your wisdom oh ninja of the search. :)
-
Dawn (somewhere)
-
Now, that's just a bit special
-
You could easily spend your day off looking at things like that. You could develop a longing to go back and do it again though. Pity about the price of the ticket!

Too true, that shot should make the FD 10 highlight film and Max-Q's 125 music video.

Here's a question for the orbital mechanics gurus. Atlantis is currently in an elliptical orbit, well they all are I suppose but this one has a significant difference between perigee and apogee. What is happening to the position of perigee projected along the r bar to the earth's surface?
-
Anybody else seeing the Public Channel a little ratty right now? Can't tell if it's here or upstream...

Ratty here as well, bad internet feed?

No, cable TV relay here. The problems didn't sync with the Media Channel Internet feed, but I saw some of the same on one of the Public Channel Internet feeds...appears to be a little better now...
-
SRB camera replays starting, reception seems to be normal now.
-
Hopefully with a daylight launch these will be good!!
-
I think I got some of the tyvek covers coming off here.
-
Hmmm...first time I can remember where they sync'd the video with the live broadcast audio...
-
-
Love this part
-
-
The starboard view (looking up) should show the object that skidded across the starboard wing chine.

now spinnin away...

descending - parachutes visible in second shot

Boy, you could really see the popcorning on the intertank shot!

Cool how the other SRB remains in the view of the camera for so long.

It is moving up and down (in the order of about 10 km, if I have it right). The position of the perigee is also rotating relative to an inertial reference frame, anti-clockwise when viewed from the north pole of the orbit.

Nice...can see the shadow of the booster as it approaches splashdown...right aft (looking "up") is next...

Anyone else noticed how quiet the sound from the SRB's is until they start hitting the denser air mass?
-
Didn't see what I expected at 109 seconds in.
It happened very quickly in the ET camera video, so would expect similar here...might be hard to see much with NTSC frame rate...

Right forward camera, with the special "zoom" (like STS-120) now...

Indeed, didn't see anything in this last view either. Must have occured very quickly.

now back to the more mundane views from shuttle.. (toungue in cheek).. :)

Florida Today (Todd Halvorson) reports that President Obama will call the crew this evening (Eastern time):

Press Conference underway.
-
Many Thanks for posting the SRB shots Veteran!!!!! If only they had these cameras
all along in the Shuttle program we would had known about Columbia. Such a preventable
waste.
-
Why are the these two more or less free Days? Was there no landing opportunity for tomorrow or is this just to reduce stress from the crew. The day tomorrow is not really usefull, is it?
-

Kind of a chicken-and-egg thing...the cameras exist because of STS-107. And while they might have raised awareness enough such that an attempt was made to save the crew, they wouldn't have prevented the loss of the orbiter. All of this is hindsight, but a "greater" opportunity to respond was after the bipod foam loss incident on STS-112.
-

It is. Tomorrow is L-1 day which is when they perform the standard pre-entry system checkouts of the FCS and RCS. They'll also begin to dismantle the computer network, perform the first part of crew cabin stowage and stow the KU band antenna.
So today is the only off-duty day for the crew.

pretty picture time.. (isn't it always when in orbit??)

Houston is asking the crew to power down a lot of items including the oven and water heaters as well as the payload bay. Is the weather going to so iffy that a Saturday or Sunday landing is possible?
-
-
Zooming in on the ground... and orbital night coming..
-
I wonder how these orbital mechanics work out?? what would the window of communications be (or are they relaying via TDRS/Ground?)
-

It'll be through the TDRS. There's no direct line of sight between the two satellites
-
Has anyone seen the ground tracks for entry/landing yet? Hoping that they'll overfly Texas like they have on previous Hubble missions so I can see her come in!
-
They need to learn how to use the HD mic. Caught Scooter mumbling something about "stupid Americans" while the mic was hot.
-
Great news that President Obama's showing interest in this flight. Hope the message of HSF is rammed home.
Next article still pending as we're just waiting for final DAT clearance of the TPS, which we understand is coming. They were just finishing the Level 2 ROI review of the RCC last we heard. The Level 1 review was cleared overnight.
-
looks cramped in there... kind of getting used to the spacious ISS....
-
Some video of the Hubble departure. Very active communication between Scooter and Johnson on the sep rates.
-
Not sure what coastline they are going past but some nice land/sea pictures here...
-
-
I believe that's Cuba
-
NASA TV into Video File for the next hour.

They've said the STS-127 crew is preparing to return to Earth! LOL

Maybe Mark Polansky took the crew on balloon trip this morning ;)
-
Zero areas of interest after yesterday's late inspection, good news!!!
-

Not too bad when you consider Jim Voss was picked up saying "He's making that s*** up" while his mic was hot on STS-44 ;) Apparently the MCC was in stitches.
-

Yes, good news. I see from Chris' article yesterday that this doesn't affect STS-400 status at all, since they carry on working towards a rescue launch right up until STS-125's deorbit burn.
-
Yep, STS-400 remains until after Atlantis deorbit burn. "No areas of interest" does not mean no "Regions of Interest" which are usually in the 100s. Just means they have no areas of concern, all good :)
-

Actually, it should affect 400. Assuming the MMT clears Atlantis for entry, I believe the plan is to stop short of loading the cryos on Endeavour and go back to "standby" either later today or early tomorrow.
-
Yeah, you know this Philip, but for those that don't....MMT Go/No Go for PRSD loading was going to be based on the entry clearance. So that'll now be "no go" for loading, and hold on that part of S0007 until after a successful deorbit burn, then prepare Endeavour/127 for the roll to Pad 39A after the repairs are complete.
-
Don't mean to put anyone to sleep but since this is a quiet day on the Shuttle front I am just posting some nice screen grabs as I notice them..
-

Scooter basically said something along the lines of "I wonder if Koichi's awake yet, he's probably over there like, 'stupid americans'"
Of course the 125 crew all found that to be amusing. I did too :D
-
Nice Sunset

Latest article, included the money shot image of Atlantis' flight deck from something like 500mb of raw hi res STS-125 mission images on L2.

How true. Beautiful images.

Robert Pearlman with collectSPACE asked about the 11R event recorded earlier in the mission...Leroy Cain says that the late inspection showed no MMOD impact on 11R (or any other panel).
-
NTV is buffering out for me. John 44 should be recording it anyway.
Leroy: This mission celebrates the space shuttle's capabilities.
Too early to know about Friday's weather.
Would have done a system powerdown anyway to get the additional day (EOM+3).
Second ASA failure means land at White Sands or Edwards on next rev (which we know). Depends on the kinda of ASA failure. (Will be writing up some of the ASA stuff, as we're over 20 presentations on this on L2).
Robert asks about RCC 11R - was a potential impact. Didn't see anything on 11R that indicated an impact (so it wasn't that white spot on the NTV coverage). Mentions the noises in the structure (ghost triggers we've written about before). WLE IDS did its job.
-
As noted earlier with the extra powerdowns, they are close to getting an extra weather contingency day. That might allow the "pick-em" day to slide from Saturday (EOM+1) to Sunday (EOM+2); however, that decision hasn't been made yet. (We'll know more during and after the entry team's shift tomorrow.)
-
Didn't see the very beginning, but early in the briefing, they talked about protecting +3 days for landing on Monday at KSC if necessary.
-
Yep, got that. Makes sense too.
-
Didn't see the very beginning, but early in the briefing, they talked about protecting +3 days for landing on Monday at KSC if necessary.
They would have the option of using EOM+3 as a "systems day" once the cryo margins get there...
-
Listening to the air-to-ground, sounds like the upcoming event is audio only.
-
The vivid colors in this picture made me post this. Great shots we've seen from this flight, too bad I couldn't cover any of it, just bad timing with school and all.
Thanks for all who have covered this mission, it's one for the history books for sure!
-
Obviously from the long silence, that was a private event; crew now getting ready for the daily HD video downlink.
-
LOL, Scott Altman jokingly put some gum under one of the panels on the flight deck.
-
At 4:45 p.m. CDT, President Barack Obama called the crew of space shuttle Atlantis from the Oval Office. Listen to the audio of the call. (http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum30/HTML/000790-2.html#fd10c)
-
Great to hear the President show a lot of support in the space program! He did mention about the new NASA Administrator so I think that will be coming soon! Hope this mission helped the president in realizing how much NASA does and I can only hope that it helps in an extended shuttle program. :)
-
Yeah, one could read a lot into that comment around 4:00 if you wanted.
-
Flight day highlights going on now that the crew is asleep.. Just a few really nice earth shots... I hope they are not repeats
