DOB will slow Discovery by 215 fps, or 147 mph during this burn on Orbit 238.

Watching weather off to the east that's moving towards KSC.  Go-No Go for DOB coming up soon.

21 minutes to DOB.

If weather cooperates - there might be an issue. Watch the weather thread.

Offline Chris Bergin

The weather watch, as per specific thread, is:

"Estimate now - info radioed up to STA - Rain will be 10mi north of slf at landing time
STA confirming to make sure it won't be violation"

Forum now members only to protect servers as we start to get a bit busier now. (Ignore the counter at the top, that is only a sample - we're a lot busier than that!)

Yeah I saw it.  That's speaking in terms of an orbit 238 DOB.  Thanks for the weather updates.  Very helpful.

Looks like she's positioned herself for the DOB.  I noticed she's angled in relation to the orbital trajectory.
