I know its still early over there (as I break for lunch) but any indication if roll-over is likely to be on for today?
I would highly doubt it, as KSC is open for mission-essential personnel, not everyone. I predict sometime this weekend, but I could be wrong.

Fay's a slow mover, so It might not even be Friday either.

As noted in the weather thread - KSC and the Melbourne area are done with extreme rain, so unless they still have significant closures tomorrow then Friday should be fine to reopen. Normally Florida doesn't keep high water too long, but "normal" might not be the case thanks to that historic rainfall.

FlaTo reporting a rollover after noon today - weather should cooperate with all the heavier activity staying to the northwest.

So its 9:03, safe to assume it did not happen? or did we not see it because the cameras were not switched.

Management decide to extend past 9pm, and can now roll her anytime tonight. Waiting for a gap in the weather. She's ready to move out of the OPF otherwise.
Could be a long night folks

10 minutes to Atlantis backing out of OPF-1. Doubt we have any webcam. VAB cam for arrival maybe?

No cameras that I can find, no.
Weather looks good for it, though:

Would have thought so. Waiting for an e-mail (probably when they park up in the transfer aisle) but she was just outside a bit ago.

Was ok, more a processing filler for rollover.....I've written far better. Got lots of good ones (based on the documentation being good) coming, however

And before anyone asks, yes that is Atlantis, but it's a file photo from KSC Media archives
