Hi. Long time reader, first time poster. Wanted to post to say your reports, Chris, on the Space Shuttle are great. Been a Shuttle fan since STS-1, and no other site comes close to this site for being able to follow the latest news.
Thanks very much

Did the Freon loops go back into place ok Chris? I assume so from the lack of a mention in your article?

Radiator Retract Hoses - yes, no problems reported. The main interest is usually in the vertical at the pad when the PLBDs are closed for flight.

FRR dates, processing latest (wanted to get this on this morning, but we're getting snowed under with L2 - so there's a number of articles coming on 125).
http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?cid=5480
Added an addition (technically a correction) into the article (thanks to Philip), in regard to the Aug 3 SRB/ET mate (S0003 Ops). Their "improvements to ground processing" is showing S0003 as 15 days, so that would place it as Aug 18. I was told this week the charts are showing Aug 22, but that'll be pre-improvements and changes to ET/SRB mate post valve and Helium Inject Line work, so the additional line in the article now covers and explains.

If the lon is required would the launch be aired on nasa tv with full coverage (walkout, strap-in, final poll, etc.)?

You mean LON, not lon, it stands for Launch On Need, it's not a word. Also, this LON is STS-400, by Endeavour. Atlantis is launching on STS-125, not LON. This is Atlantis' section.
Answer to the pointless question is probably. Consider people reading your post as "annoyed".

Didn't find it annoying. Questions can be asked. And the LON-400 is for Atlantis Rescue. Also, to Answer the question, yes they will cover it, and on the news too.

No! That decision will be made during the August 14 PRCB meeting, not sooner. And right now the CR is for three days each. So the CR is October 5, not October 2.
