Interesting note that they had four Russian engineers at the pad for payload walkdown. Not unusual given MRM-1, but would be rare.

Still too early to worry about, but the TAL weather forecast didn't seem quite as good and will bear some watching as we get closer to liftoff time.

Sounds like the CDR and PLT is doing some STA runs. 6 runs planned for the 33 end before switching to the 15 end.

Shuttle Atlantis flying its flag for final flight
http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-051210a.htmlSpace shuttle Atlantis is marking its own final planned flight by flying its flag. Thousands of the red, white, and blue "ATLANTIS" flags, miniatures of the type flown over the launch pad each time NASA's fourth orbiter has sat poised for liftoff, are packed inside a modified tool stowage assembly located in the shuttle's payload bay.Includes the
full manifest for the STS-132 mission's Official Flight Kit in searchable plain text format (as opposed to
scanned PDF as presented on NASA's website).

Mr Moses:
No issues, took 18 minutes to conduct the MMT (wow!). Atlantis in great shape.
ISS is config with the relocation. Ready to launch Atlantis. Outlines the mission.

Mike M: Atlantis has had a glorious service. Once she gets back we might have a few celebrations, although she's going into a full flow for STS-335. Bittersweet time as she might not get to see the pad again.
Mike L: Clicking on all eight cylinders. Fuel Cell Cryos at noon. Everything is going really well.

Weather looking good due to high pressure keeping nasty weather away. Will continue to at least Sunday.
Could be a spotty shower early Friday morning, but very favorable for RSS retract and tanking.
Still 30 percent chance of unacceptable weather, and 30 percent for Saturday and Sunday. Low ceilings is the main concern.

On last time Atlantis is on the pad
Mike L: Personally I've already been out to the pad. Vehicle being pressurized, so restricted, all business at the pad. All who wanted to take extra pictures have already done so.
