Should be getting ready to go hard down, by the looks of it.

What time today will the crawler back out and head back down once the shuttle is "Hard Down"?

Payload to the pad 10-29, install 10-30
As of today's schedule, (insert standard disclaimer here)
TCDT will be next week with simulated T-0 on the 21st.
Payload install on the 30th.
Payload interface verification testing is on the 5th.
Flt crew sharp edge inspection (payload walkdown) is planned for 8th
Payload door closure on the morning of the 9th and then right into S0007 afternoon of the 9th.
EDIT: For clarification, you're correct Chris that TCDT usually covers payload walkdown after its installation. Not sure of the rationale for this flow's deviation from the norm.
Thanks, lots of useful info here! Appreciate it.

Well, you answered your own question. Once the MLP is hard-down and initial work is complete, the crawler will be moved off LC-39A.

Thats seems to be about it... nothing left I guess but to tighten a few bolts (still can't fathom how this entire stack sits on only a handfull of those little white posts)...

I know it leaves when its done, I am asking ho wlong after hard down do they reverse it back? I am watching video feed online and hoping to catch it back out, so I am wanting to know if anyone knows approx. when it will do that today

There isn't a set time. I've seen it leave anywhere between 30-minutes to 2-hrs after hard-down. All depends on what needs to be down after hard-down and how the engineers maximize their numbers.

Can/does the crawler move faster on the way back to its 'parking Lot" without the Shuttle?

Only one more time Atlantis will rollout to the pads.. she's been a good vehicle, and will be sad to see her go.
