If it changes, I'd note it. You wouldn't need to ask.

Two questions:
1. Any chance that the rollover will be covered live on NASA TV? I don't they've been in the past, we see it via photos and video file later, just thought I'd ask.
2. Leaving the VAB on March 30th for a May 12th launch means 42 days at the pad. I'm used to seeing ~32 day flows at the pad. Is Atlantis spending more time at the pad because they need to get it out of the VAB so that they can get Endeavor stacked up for the LON mission?

Hopefully. If not then (again, hopefully) one of the KSC Video Feed page cameras will show it in slide-show-mode.

It may partly be because of the payload. There's a LOT more PCR work to prepping a Hubble mission payload than a 'regular' payload in terms of cleaning, clean-room conditions, verifying installation, and bay closeouts.
That's not to say the OPF turnaround time isn't a reason, though.

Rollover due for the top of the hour, but weather may delay, we're told.

Light rain showers are scattered all around (and some overhead) KSC. Looks like the rain threat continues til about noon before drier air starts to work in.

Roll over delayed until at least 1030. At least that is what the OPF 1 security gaurs just told me. Waited in the rain for an hour until the delay was confirmed.

LOSTINSPACE: Thanks for the update. Please post here if you have any further updates. There are a bunch of us Hubble folks down here in the MOSB & PHSF that would like to come up and see it.

Chris, thanks for the PM. I was not aware of this.
As far as the roll over, does this mean its imminent? or an hour or two away? We're in a meeting for at least the next 30 minutes.

Might not be for a while, as that'd be the return to CTS (Call to Stations) and that's always a good hour or two ahead of first motion.

Looks like bulk of the rain has pushed west and north, should be drying out soon.
