Thanks go to everyone here for great coverage.
Totally agree. Thanks to all posters for covering an almost flawless mission and landing.

Great coverage guys !!..Thanks
Also, Just curious about the "being Low on the 180 and 90".....aI'm assuming this meant low on energy ??...did this mean they landed a bit short ??...did Atlantis make up the low energy ??

From looking at the satellite image of SLF the towway exit is on the south end of the runway. So after landing on 33, do they do a 180 of the shuttle+attached convoy vehicles within the width of the runway or is there some other route for them to back to the OPF?

are they powering down everything, including fuel cells? I missed watching the landing with audio this time, so I really didn't hear the post-landing deltas.

There's two staging points, according to the Convoy manual. One at the MDD, and one where they drive up a "B Road" for the other end of the runway.

Love that Pilot PoV: could clearly see the causeway from Titusvile and the KSC Visitor Center, while in the last 90 of the HAC.
