  I think the IMAX camera is installed on the ORUC that arrived mid July.

  From the tank shipping point of view, it helps, but the tank schedule wasn't necessarily the only issue.
  
  ET-129 still has to get all the way to the checkout cell in the VAB, which is dependent in large part on the cooperation of the weather.   (For example, the barge has had to wait in Port Canaveral before.)  Assuming there are no hangups, the program will have a good fix on STS-400 processing at KSC right around the time of the PRCB meeting on the 14th.

• The NASA-KSC video feeds page switched to a different OTV camera in the VAB...this one in High Bay 3, showing ET/SRB work...
