• Urgent discussions taking place about LON after Endeavour was withdrawn this morning. Will write up memos going into L2.
  
  The discussion is ability to stack Discovery to the LON stack (that was for Endeavour) in case of a rescue being required and they are checking timelines for the change.

  What do you mean "Endeavour was withdrawn"?

  I realize the discussions are ongoing, so no final words yet, but at least say why was Endeavour withdrawn this morning.

  HEPA filter contamination problem. Was noted on 123 processing notes on L2 yesterday morning, but they've found it's in bad shape (and obviously not simple to R&R).
  
  Discovery will be the LON vehicle for STS-122, and appears to be doable, so no constaint to STS-122.

  Wrong place and time to ask but will that affect STS-123?
  
  Thanks

  I'm writing it up (with an updated L2 based countdown update for 122) so I'll start a seperate thread for Endeavour to keep the discussions in the right place. Give me 30 mins

• Ofcourse anyone with a higher resolution can take over anytime
