What an incredable few weeks we are seeing around KSC and launch complex 39 in particular, the place is really huming. Let's cherish this, because this time next year the rust will be settling in :-(

Well said TISM. Indeed it is very sad that the place might be very quite this time around next year which marks the 30th anniversary of Space Shuttle Program

Hi all,
This is my first post on nasaspaceflight.com and can I say this is a fantastic site for keeping up to date with all the happenings in the world of spaceflight.
I only found the site a few weeks ago as I was trying to keep tabs on sts132 which I am flying over from Ireland to see on May 14th(fingers crossed!!)
Congratulations and thanks to all contributers for the info and wonderful awe inspiring images of Atlantis!
Looking forward to the real thing
Peter

Thanks Peter - and for trivia I'm half Irish, as my Dad originated from Ballernkill, near Kilkenny.

NOTE: This is not a processing update but I'm trying to get as much coverage as possible.
If you are planning to be here in Titusville for the launch of Atlantis and the STS-132/ULF-4 flight, please see my post concerning a pre-launch NSF dinner for all forum members at this link:

Now here's the question.. what is the likelihood of moving the launch from May window to June window due to the AMS issues?

great article -- much to ponder while sitting in the virtual waiting room this morning.

if STS-134 is all but assured to be a november launch, wouldn't july 29th (&etc.) thereby be available to STS-132 as a pre-arranged launch window with none of those extenuating conflicts?

Unknown at this time. All depends on whether or not ISS can support CSCS for STS-132 until STS-133 arrives.

Well.. I still dont understand.. in the extremely unlikely event that a contingency flight is needed for STS-132.. they could launch Endeavour sooner than Discovery, Endeavour without AMS is on track for the July window I understand.. why they need to wait for Discovery to be ready?

Because Endeavour is not baselined to launch without AMS. You would need to create a whole new flight set system (calculations, analyses, flight software patch, memory tapes, etc) to launch Endeavour without AMS... and that would take longer to accomplish than using Discovery/133 in September as LON for STS-132.
