The image with the red oval was NASA's or NSF's? Either way, Miles said "courtesy of nasaspaceflight dot com".

That was very nice of him

It was Phillip's! (psloss) Hehe, congratulations, you're in CNN

Missed the NTD T-20 minute briefing under Kylie's MCC status, but I thought I heard 4 minutes, 42 seconds for LOX drainback hold time; did just hear that there may be an update from Houston Flight.

Still being calculated.

Minor issue reported...slight shift in engine 2 inlet temps (was it temps?)...no action required.

what's this about the engines?

No update from Houston Flight on LOX drainback.

There was a differential of 7psi in H2 for engine 2, not sure what it means though... it was classed as "very minor".

There you go, no change to drainback hold time.

I think I heard on the loop that they are monitoring a small hydrogen leak.. no problem at the moment!

I presume we'll begin locking out posting access as we get close to launch time as we have the last few launches? Keeps the thread a lot cleaner!

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #213 on:** 10/23/2007 03:00 pm »

Leaks up to 1000 ppm are acceptable. This is about the He Midbody note I posted on page 2 or 3.

Yep, and I think we're going to kill guests on here soon. So if you're a guest, you were warned, we're swamped right now.

The ice issue is still a constraint (as NTD reported to the LD a little earlier)...they are still working rationale/paper...current estimate to be able to get that done before picking up the clock...

Some drama:

Boeing Safety dissent launch on He midbody leak.

OPO is "Go".

Dissenting "No go" position of S&MA.

MMT is "go" regardless.

The 009 camera has been turned away from the LH2 feedline, now looking at a SRB. Whatever decision they're taking, it looks like the evaluation is complete.

eeergo · « **Reply #218 on:** 10/23/2007 03:11 pm »

The pressure temp shift in H2 previously reported is not an issue.
