Looks like we're orbiting Mars, boys. I was too slow to capture the African coast coming up, but it was pretty stunning.

Actually you can download the execute package directly above the two timeline charts. (The first of the three files I attached)

Current landing strategy/weather outlook messages sent up to the crew recently, along with some words on the air-to-ground. No surprise, KSC Friday weather looks "iffy," but should gradually improve over the weekend (as the low off the Florida peninsula slowly creeps to the west). CapCom relayed that the current thinking is that they will call up Edwards on Saturday, but are continuing to look at weather at all the U.S. primary landing sites and they have lots of options. They'll proceed with the nominal timeline into tomorrow and then see what KSC looks like then.

Article run, for those interested, will be:
Today: checkouts roundup, MMT latest (MER funnies etc) - nearly ready to go on site.
Tomorrow: Landing day article (heavily focused on rounding up all the ASA presentations)
If waved off to Saturday, will modify the landing day article and update it as required, with a Constellation article going on over the weekend as a new article.
If waved off to Sunday, same as the above, with a new STS-127 article opening the round up of the MOD FRR presenations.

Per the ground tracks - The track for the second opportunity would bring Atlantis almost directly over my hometown of San Angelo, which about three hours southeast of where I'm currently located. If the call is made to be "go" for landing on this rev, I'll be heading south very quickly to get some video.
