Any idea how the patch turned out?
Went well. Waiting for the full outline (probably via the standup) and will write it all up as an article.

Probably the LOX tankers. Expecting 20 of them today (they did 25 yesterday).
Adding: Man, can you imagine driving down the highway and coming up on a giant convoy of 20-25 cryo tanker trucks ahead of you?

Ron reported on (and attached images of) tankers arriving several days back. If these are definitely LOX tankers, then were those that arrived several days ago LH2 tankers?

I believe it was Monday that 2 LH2 tankers were unloaded.

Ah. This was reported on 4/15:
- LH2 storage tank replenishment was completed yesterday - 2 waves of 5 tankers (10 tankers total) offloaded.
- LOX storage tank replenishment - 4 waves of 5 tankers planned for each day.

Chris, These summary reports are great. Thanks so much!
I believe this is a typo? (should it be pm?)
"The launch window opens up at 1:31 a.m. EDT (launching 30 minutes later) on Monday"

Thanks much, and yes indeed, that's a quote from a standup report, so I didn't catch them making a mistake. Changed

For launch, assuming everything remains on schedule it would be 8:30 am Eastern on Monday. The first mission TV schedule may or may not be out yet, but the near term NASA TV schedule is usually here and notes this:

Actually you wouldn't see it. The Lox is produced locally in Mims, FL. They offload 2 waves of 5 trucks, refill them, and then offload 2 more waves, you get a couple hour break in-between the sets. Takes alot more tankers for LOX because it's so heavy, so they can only carry so much at a time. FYI, we are taking a wave of 5 tankers tomorrow morning around 7am, so you might see us or the trucks on cameras. They should start filtering in tonight.
