866-415-2342 for a recording. I have a 28MB file - that might be too big to attach

IF instead of going before STS-119 they decide to go with STS-127 as LON and let 119 go ahead, would they demate Atlantis and put Discovery on the stack? Would save time...

This is where it gets convoluted. Looks like they are looking into several plans and several versions of those plans. Really thinking it's best to let all the info come in and have another check what's favored tomorrow.
There's critical paths with Discovery for starters (RCC panel).

Of course if Atlantis is destacked then she could donate the part to Discovery, then get the part from Endeavour when she lands from STS-126, and Endeavour would get the one off STS-119....just mind exercise and would probably not work.

Actually, that's the problem. It's not a certainty. The panels are very much orbiter specific. Remember the fit check issues the last time they swapped a panel?
When they had the ET-129 noise problem and there was a chance of a mission/orbiter swap, this was the big concern.

Thanks to rdale for recording, I have uploaded the STS-125 Hubble issue teleconference. It is 27mb, and runs from start to end. Thanks once again, rdale.

Anyone got any idea when rollback ops are likely to be?

What are they going to do with Greg on the ISS? Saying that 125 delays?

No question mark needed - 125 is delayed. And he wasn't coming back on 125 anyways, as it's not going to ISS.

I had a wild thought, feel free to shoot it down.
If they add the task to replace the failed control unit, they'd be adding a new task onto a flight with 5 EVA's booked already. Shuttle flights will be ending soon with no more chances to service Hubble, and I'm sure there are a lot of things that could be replaced/upgraded.
Also there is ET-138 and ET-122 available for future flights. Could they add another HST-SM to the manifest in 2010 to finish up servicing with everything they might like to do but can't fit into STS-125? Then make the shuttle carrying up AMS the LON flight and if LON isn't needed, have the AMS flight be the shuttle swan song? (no LON or fabricate an extra ET for LON, make it a museum article if unused)
Just a thought.
EDIT: I realize that there'd be only one pad left, that 39B would be transferred to Constellation. So could they use Endeavour or Discovery for HST servicing and modify the SSPTS system to draw power from Hubble until they could roll out the AMS vehicle to the pad and get it ready for liftoff? They'd have to do Launch-to-Launch, as I recall that was one of the options for STS-400.

Yea but how long can he stay up there if they decide not to launch 126 this year?

Bubb - it's a less than 2 hour task, and might be completed without any impact to the overall priorities. Even if it did knock something off, still not enough for SM5. Hubble can't power Shuttle, even with a HPTS.
Justin - STS126 might be moved up to Nov 14th, there's nothing to indicate it won't launch this year. But if it doesn't - it wouldn't be connected to STS125.

Bubbinski, certainly lots of interesting things could happen to the manifest. I would recommend we see how this shakes out over the next 4 months with the HST planning and the election. Its possible the whole STS plan gets a serious working over.

For Greg at least there's always chess to pass the time.
