Excuse my lack of understanding but what does NET mean?
"No Earlier Than" - as in the earliest they could launch is the NET date, though it can move later as they proceed.

This launch date protects STS-123 quite well then providing they don't rollback and delay further...

On the ISS Audio Feed, they were talking about some concerns about EVAs and the possibility of a Stage EVA. Mission Management Team is apparently talking to Holly Ridings about this right now or very soon.

Hi Guys,
Great site. Been a slient observer till now.
Will this have a definate knock-on effect to STS-123 & STS-124 dates or could they still be fluid? Have planned a visit in April for STS-124 but not so confident now.

Welcome.
They are ok on the manifest until STS-122 breaches past the middle of January. Otherwise they can still launch STS-123 in February, should STS-122 launch early in January.

Early January target date is preliminary; depends on what they find out based on executing the troubleshooting plan (which is TBD).

Should finish the troubleshooting with the cryos in the LH2 tank in the early afternoon local time and then finish draining.

Will pushing back STS-122 to NET Jan affect STS-125 in August (or too early to tell)?

For what it's worth, the Lockheed/MAF guys preference the clean room deal (the tent we saw on the previous R&R) in the VAB....but it's not likely to be the sensors themselves.
We've got a lot of documentation on L2 in regards to the feedthrough connectors (as highlighted in documents the other day). So I'll write up what they've got on that over the next 12-24 hours as an article.

The only thing that seemed like news out of this to me was there being some increased chance of another tanking test. Leroy Cain prefaced that by saying he was speculating to some extent and the plan would come from the troubleshooting team be presented to the program on Tuesday.
