  Thank you to the mods who are trying to keep this live thread clean.  Those of you new to the forum and with questions, welcome, but please take just a couple minutes to read through this thread at least (it's really not that long), since your question is probably well covered.  See also the latest article or two posted on the home page of this site.  Thanks to all!

  Yeah it is all going to be down to the time of TIG. Shadow over the area is intermittent so we don't have the full affect of ground heating.  Listening to the WX loop, the team is just on the edge of getting comfortable - we'll se soon!!!

  Is WX comm loops (and others) available publicly online or is do you have special ninja accesses?   It would be amazing to listed to some other teams chatter at various times! Just curious while we wait here...

  Times are EDT:
  
  Landing: 11:40 a.m., Orbit 197, landing at Edwards (deorbit burn at 10:25 a.m.)
  
  Landing: 11:49 a.m., Orbit 197, landing at Kennedy (deorbit burn at 10:31 a.m.)
  

  
  So that will be 15:40 / 15:49 GMT?
  Just want to make shure I have it right.

  That's correct.  All still quiet on NASA TV.

  I have to say, that always blows my mind -- the difference between landing three time-zones apart is only 9 minutes...

• Weather at KSC not looking good - my prediction is an EDW landing on orbit 197.
  
  So it looks like well be watching a few SCA flights next weekend!!  That's why I love Florida weather

• Fergueson flying a low approach on RWY 22.  Going to set up for a low approach to RWY 04 next.

  Geee...I wish I could get a flight from California to Florida in NINE MINUTES!!!

• Steve Lindsay in the STA at KSC as well.  Heading far out [South and South East] to see if any weather will come within 30.

• That weather has certainly flattened out a lot.  There is a lot of high level cloud which may just delay heating enough to get them in before local Cu develop.

• Fergueson pulling up after a low approach from RWY 04 at EDW:
