Early weather scrub maybe? I don't think it would happen this early though.
No. All retraction of the RSS preps are complete.
They will tank come what may with the weather....given they want to test the ECO system.

RSS retract isn't always on time... sometimes they have equipment problems

Definite signs of motion.
On which, 070 or RSS? I don't see any with RSS, just lighting changes...

Xenon lights ON!!!
No. They just reset the light sensitivity of the cameras. You'll know when the xenons are on.

The weather protection panel that covers part of the bottom of the orbiter is retracted. Although I don't know if that is done in advance.

Looks like lights to me.. That's not something a camera could do.. At least I highly doubt it.

It is. They were retracted several hours ago.

Well, in that case, we are still waiting for first motion. I stand (er... sit) corrected.

Greetings from Pad 39A... or more specifically, inside a bus sitting outside the perimeter gate, hiding from the mosquitoes.
First motion is targeted for 7:15 p.m. EST. Xenon lights are not on and won't be until after retraction.

Thank you much for that information. Didn't know what lights, but she's definitely lit up!

I envy you right now.
First motion is targeted for 7:15 p.m. EST. Xenon lights are not on and won't be until after retraction.
Any specific reason for the delay?

Those would be the stadium lights. The procession is pad lights, stadium lights, xenons.

Nothing specific but it may be related to a routine check of the tile surfaces before retraction can begin. More details if/when they are provided...
