He has been busy with the count for the last few hours(and days!). And also, he's not on the MMT.
Someone's not giving the memo to Doug on Endeavour! -

I went ahead and did a comparison between the two for lighting; what's striking is how much better the quality of the video from ET camera on today's launch is compared to 121...
Looking at ET sep on 121, this ascent takes that lighting pretty much to its extreme. The ET camera was in the orbiter's shadow at MECO and Sun becomes visible after the orbiter separates. On 121, the sun is just out of the field of view of the camera.
121 on top, 122 on bottom...
Edit -- added a snap from STS-121 after the orbiter clears the view to show where the Sun was...

Does anyone has the exact launch time in format 1945:30.XXXUTC? Thanks!

Some early video from orbit (I think it's live).

Is this video S-band? I didn't think the update rate was that fast.

It's live. Was downlinked through JSC. Last time we got "JSC video" was on STS-112/9A.

Yes, I think PLBD opening is coming up now. Let's hope they can keep Ku working so that we can see it live.

The Ku antenna is stowed with the doors closed.

PLBD opening in work.
EDIT: Yes, I didn't know S-band was had such a big data rate, so I thought maybe they were relaying Ku by some other means. I stand corrected then

S-band has video capability when over a ground station, but only sequental stills when routed through TDRS.

That BBC journalist who asked a question at the presser is currently slagging off NASA on BBC News 24 for all manner of BS. Unbelievable and rediculous journalism.

No issues with Freon loops, hose was ok as expected.

The issue is when the doors are closed, not opened.
