F1D Tyvek cover is loose, looking to replace it.

This is currently the only remaining IPR now.

And this has been replaced...only remaining as an IPR as they sign off the paperwork.

So no constraint to launch?

Nope, had to be replaced. All done, no constraint to launch.

Looks like Camera 034 has been positioned to the bottom of the RSS for rollback into PARK position:

Park actually. Mate position is when it is against the stack, like now.

Slightly older cap for a bit of perspective:

Ah, sorry about that.. In a bit of a rush, as I am leaving school in 1 minute...

A request for whoever has a working RealPlayer version that has a record feature:
Could you please record the RSS retract and upload it into the video section?

Thanks in advance whoever does this!

If you're referring to the RTSP link from the last shuttle count, it's currently streaming the CIF roof shot:

RSS retract appears to be underway...and I'm getting "recording disabled" for the CIF stream...

RSS is now starting to retract!

The RSS is about 45 degrees retracted according to the camera view 001.

The base of the RSS is clearing the flame trench in front of the pad.

The RSS is now fully retracted away from the stack, no longer visible in camera 001's view to the right, but we have a great shot of the SSME flame trench however. (now they have moved the camera over to the right to show the RSS in park position, the size of the workers compared to the size of the RSS structure is quite impressive).
