Comedy moment if you didn't know what was going on...
"Go for rollout!"
"Wait a minute, we forgot something?
OH the fracking orbiter!!"
"Back we go then"

And that is the last we will see of it until Atlantis rolls out for STS-125
From there, yes, but there's the possibility of a multimedia salvo from NASA PAO.

No video (yet), but there are pix now of the stack rollaround up on the NASA-KSC multimedia gallery site:

They appear to be working towards a firm date when they understand if they are going to take the single vs dual pad approach.

If any info is available, how does the valve issues affect the launch of STS-125?
Thanks,

No expert here, but I would think that if they can't have new valves or better valves then whats in Atlantis/Endeavour then it might be delayed to like June. Now that's an uneducated guess, and just my opinion.

That's what I was thinking also, but was curious if any information had been obtained to confirm or deny that.
Thanks for your help.

I haven't seen any info yet, not sure if the folks at NASA know yet or have a firm plan yet.

Maybe if they get good rationals for 119 and redesign is taking some month, it will be possible to use similar rationals for 125/127.

NASA officials have said that if STS-119 is launched in March then STS-125 would not be delayed. If STS-119 slips to April then STS-125 will be delayed by a few weeks.

Correct. But to get a little more specific STS-125 will still target May if STS-119 gets off before the Soyuz cutout in mid-March (exact dates of which are currently under negotiation). Now, if 119 flies in March and the FCVs perform well (i.e. with no issues), that would go a long way toward clearing Atlantis for flight in May. Basically, this is a flight-by-flight case. The FCVs will be analyzed after 119 so additional data can be placed into the flight rationale decision.

Now is May 12 still in play, or would it be closer to May 19th or 26th?

May 12 for dual pad LON ops.
May 21 for single pad LON ops.
That is the current plan. If/when things change (and those changes are documented on L2) it'll be copied across without delay.

The month-long vacuum test was to start by mid-February so using that timeline it's not going to be out of that test yet.

Atlantis is on track for the rollover scheduled for March 23, in case I've not mentioned it before.

Posted Mar 6, 2009:
At NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., environmental testing of the replacement Science Instrument Command and Data Handling Unit (SI C&DH) continues to go well as the unit enters into its final vibration and thermal vacuum tests. The replacement SI C&DH will be shipped to the Kennedy Space Center in early April where it will be loaded on board Atlantis along with the entire servicing mission payload. Engineers from Goddard also participated in a final review of the flight procedure changes that were made as a result of adding the SI C&DH to the manifest.http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/servicing/SM4/news/Busy_week_Mar2009.html
