It's good for me that they won't launch earlier, because I have already booked plane tickets and accomodation, and I was a bit scared about this.

ET-127 is about to be completed. Hours to go and will be shipped in the morning (placed on to the barge). Non-L2 users won't know the amount of effort that's gone into this tank over the last few days, so will do an article.

I am assuming it was shipped by now?

Nope. Roll-on-barge according to this morning's NTD report is 1800 local.

Excellent. I'd read about this but forgotten that it was debuting with this mission. Wonderful overview of where things stand now.

Interesting thing: It's the first time I see someone mention a possible STS-134 in a status report...
Chris, if the ET arrives at KSC on the 16th, do you now when the official mating date with the SRBs will be?

Well spotted on the STS-134
We thought it was a typo on the L2 presentation, but we don't know. Wasn't going to change the content of the presentation in the article, so placed a "to be decided" type note with it.
ET/SRB Mate review has to take place first, and that's not till next week. Looking at next weekend at the earliest, as we believe some additional work is required on the tank in the checkout cell - might be done after mate, we'll see.
It'll be on L2 processing info next week, so when we know it'll be the first word on a set date.

It would seem to be in-line with Mr. Shannon's recent comments to Bill Harwood.

Most likely 7 or 8 days prior to rollout. Normally a week in the VAB before rollout.

NIKKI
Mating ops, powered up integrated stack interface testing, and preps for rollout take place during the week in the VAB.
