What's the launch ground-track due to be? Hoping I might be able to see Atlantis and tank go over the UK!
thanks

talking about ball bearing found before from camera system, it is hard constraint to launch
lost ball bearing needs to be worked on, working on flight rational

Sounded like from a EVA camera pip pin...found it on the aft bulkhead on Tuesday.

IPR 132V-0045 is the IPR number. Constraint against coming out of the T-9 minute hold.

Question: if they found it on Tuesday, why is this just coming up now as being a launch constraint?

So with this constraint, does this mean they may not launch today?

Weather updates from the ascent flight control team in Houston -- slight update to the KSC altimeter for RTLS, all three TAL sites are available. Zaragoza is prime, will require close-in aimpoint due to strong winds. Two-engine TAL call will target Moron.

A constraint to coming out of the T-9 minute hold means they won't launch if they can't clear it.
They should do, however.

As noted on the comm loop, it's been under discussion since then and was escalated today to a launch constraint.

Pete Nickolenko explaining ball bearing pip pin issue, found in payloadbay Tuesday, did not believe it was flight hardware, found it was part of pit pin of EVA cameras, want to make sure that the pins would still hold cameras
Optimistic will work through it in time

Assistant launch director Pete Nickolenko now at the PAO console providing background on the problem with the ball-bearing found just prior to payload bay door closure for flight on Tuesday.
Optimistic that the review will clear the pip pin with the missing ball-bearing.

final briefing on IPR 45, orbiter project looked at history, no failure like it, pip pin tethered, believe only one ball bearing, pip pin is in good config per photos , recommending remove IPR
