Thank you Chris.
Your excellent article is what I was waiting!
The situation is acceptable. The STS program is always in race to meet the 2010 target line.

Thanks

Not really a "race" to 2010, but there's a lot of missions to come yet.

Sorry for the "bad word".
But in that moment, I was very excited to known that the ET's problems will
have a limited impact on the next launches.

According to CBS News Space Place, LCC PAO for STS-124 will be Allard Beutel. Any info on who is he?
MCC PAO will be Rob Navias.

Typing "Allard Beutel NASA" into Google.com resulted in http://www.nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/about/biographies/beutel.html

"I would assume now that CSCS would probably not be the main concern now for the launch date since ATV docked. Am I right?"

Not sure I undestand your question - but CSCS is virtually unchanged. Keep in mind ATV is replacing a Progress (ATV is a little bigger but this one wasn't fully loaded). Plus you have materials that will be consumed between now and then so in June when we launch we still have a CSCS of about 3 months.

Yes sir. Critical path is to get to ET mate. That looks good now they've had their review and set the date as per previously planned. Rest should (touch wood) fall into place on the flow as Discovery's pretty much ready to roll already.

The JPM airlock is a small airlock, for experiments to be placed outside the lab only (on the Exposed Facility, for example).

Yes, as far as I understand, the air lock is exclusively for getting exposed experiments in and out of the JEM, by means of robotics.

DaveS might know better, but is this camera looking like it will see ET-128 come out of the checkout cell today?

faustod · « **Reply #275 on:** 04/12/2008 04:13 pm »

I am looking at the same camera. I hope it is the right one!

Longhorn John · « **Reply #276 on:** 04/12/2008 04:27 pm »

Me too! I've got the popcorn at my side and an autorefresh

Will ask an engineer on L2 if they have a specific time they are moving the tank. Wish they would stream video of these things.

DaveS · « **Reply #277 on:** 04/12/2008 05:40 pm »

ET in HB3.

Mark Dave · « **Reply #278 on:** 04/14/2008 12:14 pm »

Cool.

When will Discovery be rolled over to be mated to the stack? Also when is rollout to the pad?

Rollover is due for April 28th, and rollout is typically a week later.
