I wonder how these orbital mechanics work out?? what would the window of communications be (or are they relaying via TDRS/Ground?)

It'll be through the TDRS. There's no direct line of sight between the two satellites

Has anyone seen the ground tracks for entry/landing yet? Hoping that they'll overfly Texas like they have on previous Hubble missions so I can see her come in!

They need to learn how to use the HD mic. Caught Scooter mumbling something about "stupid Americans" while the mic was hot.

Great news that President Obama's showing interest in this flight. Hope the message of HSF is rammed home.
Next article still pending as we're just waiting for final DAT clearance of the TPS, which we understand is coming. They were just finishing the Level 2 ROI review of the RCC last we heard. The Level 1 review was cleared overnight.

Some video of the Hubble departure. Very active communication between Scooter and Johnson on the sep rates.

Has anyone noticed the typo on NASA.gov?
They've said the STS-127 crew is preparing to return to Earth! LOL

Maybe Mark Polansky took the crew on balloon trip this morning

Not too bad when you consider Jim Voss was picked up saying "He's making that s*** up" while his mic was hot on STS-44
Apparently the MCC was in stitches.

Yes, good news. I see from Chris' article yesterday that this doesn't affect STS-400 status at all, since they carry on working towards a rescue launch right up until STS-125's deorbit burn.

Yep, STS-400 remains until after Atlantis deorbit burn. "No areas of interest" does not mean no "Regions of Interest" which are usually in the 100s. Just means they have no areas of concern, all good

Actually, it should affect 400. Assuming the MMT clears Atlantis for entry, I believe the plan is to stop short of loading the cryos on Endeavour and go back to "standby" either later today or early tomorrow.
