Stockman is following the Pathfinder. The SCA is NASA911.
Wow, flightaware still shows them at 15K feet. There must be a fairly significant lag time in what's displayed.

Not knowing his source, I assumed that it had been mentioned on NASA TV, and I didn't hear it, because my sound was muted at that time.
NASA Public Affairs has other channels of communication with journalists for information like that; NASA TV generally does not relay that information.

If they're going to do a flyover of White Sands, it's likely the arrival time will be delayed from the current estimate.

911's flight plan shows a clear turn to the north that the pathfinder did not make before landing.

Yeah, that would be the way to vector to White Sands. I just drove by there last week.

flightaware reports SCA landed 17 minutes ago, but the green route line stops short, and north of landing site. Not going out to that "other" site because it's locked up and then shut down my internet browser several times this morning.

FA only reported that because they haven't received a radar return, likely due to the low altitude. Do not use that as an arrival time.

NASA.gov: The pair arrived at Biggs Army Airfield in El Paso, Texas at 1:22 p.m. EDT (11:22 a.m. MDT) and will spend the night there before resuming the cross-country trip tomorrow. Atlantis may be home on Tuesday if weather permits.

Now if we could just find a way to squeeze an ET's worth of LOX and LH2 into the SCA's belly, we'd be set... =)

Nice article Chris!
But need some clarification with this fragment :
"The duo will stay the night in Biggs, Texas - before potentially taking in the Air Force bases of Dyess, Texas, or Altus, Oklahoma - based on current information."
Dyess in Texas? Not in Arkansas?
