We are checking into L2 processing information in relation to fault with the RRCS primary fuel regulators, which is a constraint in S0007.

It won't be an issue, thanks to clarification gained via member on L2 who knows the system.

Space Shuttle Crew Heads for Florida

The Shuttle Training Aircraft carrying the STS-120 astronauts is headed to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The jet departed Ellington Field in Texas at about 11:24 a.m. EDT. The crew is expected to land at Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility between 1 and 1:30 p.m. Their arrival will be carried live on NASA TV.

ROFL!! Oh, man, that was funny - they all get off, then have to get back on the plane and get off again. :laugh:

(I can see the PAO person shouting "No! NO! You're not doing it the right way!!")

Just curious, but anyone know why they arrived in an STA and not in T-38s?

Man this is one of the crews i love the most, funny, good trained. Just a troop to hang out with.

Just to see them now on the runway makes me laugh with all there jokes. I just wanted to say that.

It's the weather - there is a pretty active front between Houston and Florida right now. It's normal for them to arrive in the STA this way.

That was great. Very good team spirit and bonus points to Commander Melroy on describing Discovery, calling her a she and the note about what the Space Shuttle is to everyone. Good!

Yes, it was really great seeing the crew arrive at KSC. To me it seems the crewmembers of this flight is a very, very tight knit crew, at least judging from how they've been at press conferences and all. Pambo will be a great commander and I agree with Chris, very well chosen words today about Discovery and the Space Shuttle.

Now I'll let the thread get back on topic.
