Thats good, that puts us mid day so we should have good lighting for the camera's most of the way up I would imagine. -

2:47 pm - is that the in-plane time for the most efficient launch? Or the beginning of the launch window?

With the ISS boost that is scheduled for 7:42 PM today, how much higher will the ISS be? Does the boost have much if any change in the in-plane flight window for the Shuttle. The reason I ask is because they indicate that the ISS has to be boosted for Progress M-63 to dock.

According to MCC-M website, the mean height of ISS orbit will increase by 5.25 kilometers... -

Doesn't look like this was mentioned, so I'll go ahead.
Appears to me that there's a webcam at the ET R&R site for the Feed-through Connector, located here (HTML) or here (Java). Two images posted below to provide information.Also, there is a White Room camera that has been hooked up, located here (HTML) or here (Java).

Are there any initial results to report from the Marshall testing of the original ET-125 feedthrough and external connector?

Presentations worth on L2. All good (the glass was a concern, but there's a presentation on that being less of a problem now, after they did more tests, could have been nasty!). I think there's over 100 pdfs now on L2 about this. Pretty amazing really, not L2, as that's always awesome, but the effort. They've produced everything from testing an X-33 connector to nano xraying connectors lol. The bionic man didn't have this level of operations! :cool: -

I wonder if they know we're watching
Was reviewing the presentation on the installation. Bloody complicated stuff. Will write it up and use some images etc...as this is going to take several hours to have the part all spliced into the tank.
