The ice should not be a problem, providing it's not showing signs of growth. OPO and DAT making the call in five minutes.
Its so hot today I'm surprised the ice is even becoming an issue.

Liquid Hydrogen in the tank is a few degrees from absolute zero.

The Discover Science Channel is starting their live coverage.
The Science Channel have been hyping this mission continuously for over a month.
I'm curious how they will cover it.

Hardware caution and warning being cleared. This is so new C&W messages(if any) are not confused with previous messages.

Liquid Hydrogen in the tank is a few degrees from absolute zero.
And to add to that, it's the water vapour in the air condensing against the cold surfaces...like on a nice cold beer

I think it has more to do with the humidity. The more saturated the air (with water vapor), the thicker ice can build up as condensate freezes.

A note to all, after coming out of the T-9 minute hold, only the designated posters may post until close to MECO. This keeps updates on track, avoids duplicates and out of sync posts.

Currently on NASA-TV, a guy from the HST science team is making some poor lady from the PAO go cross-eyed by explaining what the new instruments actually
do in context.
Gee... I never realised that watching BBC's 'Sky at Night' program would prepare me for dealing with a science team PAO briefing.

That's Dr. David Leckrone. He's the Hubble director, if memory serves me correctly. Eleven minutes left in the built-in hold.

Can faintly hear that the other issue had to do with a tank pressure, I think, but doesn't sound like either one will things up.

Those are out of date; they were updated overnight and then again a few minutes ago.
