25% LOX and LH2 in the tank. PROP console still checking the ECO voltages (looking good as per Chris!). Still 70% chance of weather-related scrub. Whether we get the 30% go will depend on the timing of the launch and front. -- PAO.

Still an additional test to run on the ECO's. Good news is that we have passed the point where they failed last time!

That further test Diller notes is the "Start of LH2 recirculation". Everything looking great as per guying working the sensors.

Does anyone know of a link where you can track realtime (or almost realtime) launch telemetry? I found one years back but can't seem to dig anything up. I basically showed downrange, alt, speed, etc, etc. I checked NASA's site but finding stuff there is almost impossible.
Thanks in advance if anyone has a link...

ET is approximately 1/3 full of LH2 and LOX, daybreak at the cape!

PROP console indicates they would like to conduct a final suite of tests, getting ready to say ECO's are go/no go.

Voltages continue to be strong on the sensors, this really does look great now. However, they will obviously still watch those sensors and we can celebrate after MECO when their role is over.

All of the ECO tests have been completed per PAO, and all looking good. Automatic tests will be happening after stable replenish. Once we enter stable replenish, we can probably declare success at that point, but will be watching up to T-9 -- PAO

Tanking has been "stellar" thus far.
Orbiter not working any issues of note (listed some of them in the latest article). No constraints to launch.

LH2 at 98 percent, heading to stable replensih.
LOX at 50 percent.

30 minutes to the next built in hold, everything seems nominal at this time of the count

Heavens Above is a good site. You have to set up a user name and password. It also has tracking of about anything in the sky.
