Engineers are having a few problems with a washer on the tank (ET-127) during SRB mate ops. Still under engineering evaluation and may delay Atlantis rollover, but they have some flexibility to the right of the timeline if there's a slight delay.
Will do a big processing update for the fleet tonight.

Course, its Atlantis, Ever hear the quote for Columbia? 'Columbia would never launch but when it did it would give you the best mission.' On topic anyways, what kind of Washer?

Has nothing to do with the orbiter, just the luck of the flow.

Another L2 based flow update, focusing on the ongoing issue with the Nose Landing Gear (reason for the article going on last thing at night as this was an evolving situation right through to end of shift (and continuing tomorrow).
You might think "wow Chris, you know a lot about the landing gear" - when I don't....I'm mainly paraphrasing a very helpful engineer that's been talking us through the processing documention relating to this on L2. He's the star
http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?cid=5491Her nose gear still isn't raised, they hope tomorrow. If Sunday, they should be able to get her out of the barn on Monday. We'll be following closely.

What is the latest on the "noise" heard from ET 129 (STS 126) when it was being moved in the VAB last week?
Thank you.

Yep, but will update in the morning.

Thank you.
You've read it
The most we have is via the morning reports on L2 (which I've also reported in the news articles) and the paper chase at MAF. The latest two or three articles note the plan of action and where they've got to with it. Monday will be interesting to see progress via the next reports on L2 (which I'll report as a news article).
Might be best to keep the ET-129 stuff on Endeavour's section.

Can anyone provide more details on the delay in the rollover of Atlantis to the VAB because of tropical storm Fay?

Rollover is NET Tuesday, but more likely Thursday. Writing a processing report based on Monday's L2 processing reports.
