• Live shot of the pad.  Guessing because of crew arrival later today, the satellite is at KSC in the short periods between the STS-132 and related material running on NASA TV this afternoon.

  Hi rdale,
  Sorry if I'm jumping the shark here wrt: a dedicated STS-132 weather thread, but how is the wx looking for an on-time launch?
  Thanks,

• This should be the flight track for the crew flying in, I am basing it solely on the time of arrival though

• Right now the weather looks about as good as you can ask for in Mid-May. I'd be MUCH happier if it were to launch during the week (0% chance of rain the next few days) but really don't see much coming on the horizon that would be an impact towards the weekend either.

  But it's originating from Mobile, not Houston.  Did they stop in Mobile for some reason?

  If they flew out in T-38s, then there's a refueling stop between Ellington and KSC.

  Much better than STS-131 Still will require sleep shifting to GMT morning and daytime.

• Commander mentioned that they got problem with one T-38 over JSC and there was need to replace machine.
  
  My 'two cents'

• Reminder the launch countdown begins at 4pm Eastern. No issues in work, very nice, clean flow right now

  And, if NASA keeps it up, we may all be in for a treat for launch!  They're currently running their HD feed in a standard definition format -- much cleaner picture for launch countdown ops!
