Anyone have any idea if the rollout will be covered on NASA-TV at all on Saturday morning?
Did you check the NASA TV schedule? They've been advertising it for days, I imagine it's still listed there?

If the STS-122-required ISS work falls too far behind and they aren't able to make the December window, will they just wait it out on the pad or will they rollback to the protective confines of the VAB? I can't imagine them rolling back and then having to rollout again just DAYS before Christmas, but just wanted confirmation. Thanks....

Mission: STS-122 - 24th International Space Station Flight - Columbus
Module
Vehicle: Atlantis (OV-104)
Location: Vehicle Assembly Building
Launch Date: Targeted for Dec. 6, 2007
Launch Pad: 39A
Crew: Frick, Poindexter, Schlegel, Eyharts, Love, Melvin and Walheim
Inclination/Orbit Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles
On Nov. 3, Atlantis rolled from Orbiter Processing Facility bay 1 to
the Vehicle Assembly Building, where it was lifted up and into high
bay 3 to be connected to the external fuel tank on the mobile launch
platform. Workers spent the week closing out connections between the
solid rocket boosters, tank and orbiter, and performing interface
tests to verify that all the space shuttle elements are working as a
fully integrated launch vehicle. Rollout from the assembly building
to Launch Pad 39A is scheduled for 4 a.m. Saturday. The Columbus
laboratory module will be installed into the orbiterâ?Ts payload bay on
Sunday. The terminal countdown demonstration test with the STS-122
astronauts is scheduled for Nov. 18 - 20.

How come this mission is scheduled to be 11 days instead of the usual 14 days? It may depend on weather the SSPTS works or not?

As has been stated here many times, Altantis does not have SSPTS. Therefore, she can only support a planned 11 day mission.

Looks like the KSC Webcams are down at the moment (about 3 and a half hours from first motion)...
http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/countdown/video/video45m.htmlHoping they'll be back up at that time, or before. I plan on being here at 6:30 (when coverage starts on the Public and Media channels) AM Local. This is a note saying I should be here.

Another note, if this IS indeed Atlantis' last ISS assembly mission, then this crew will be remembered. Trekkie said it, go Atlantis!
They've been down for most of the day. I checked them around 2 this afternoon and most of them were down. Here's hoping they're back soon!

Atlantis doesn't have SSPTS capability.

Firstly, can I say that 90 minute power naps are NOT as useful what people make them out to be
Secondly, we should at least lock this thread and start the rollout and pad processing thread, so I'll construct it. I've got the article all written up, just want to know if we've close to a rollout...

No idea what people are supposed to be looking after the webcams, but I sure hope they aren't paid, as they really have nothing other than "NO VIDEO" showing.
There's at least this one, but it's a poor second to the rest.

All but 3 of the webcams were like this last night (UK time) so they've been down at least 12 hours!

The webcams are likely "down" because it's a holiday weekend -- Veterans Day.
