Couple of tweets on crew training from Dr Sandra Magnus
This afternoon we are learning about some of the science we will be doing- studies on vaccines and genetic changes due to micro-g.
Back at work after a relaxing break. Rex and I are in a class briefing what we are doing in the NBL tomorrow. Tile and RCC repair stuff.
If she keeps it up will definitely be a good complement to the processing flow updates.

2011-2367.jpg also shows a good view of the Spacelab Pallets in the SSPF, of which one might be used to return the PMA-3 from station on this mission.
Edit: from 2011-2366-m.jpg, in the background is the MPESS, which will liftoff with the RRM and then will return the failed pump module

This was seen in last week's photos of AMS moving to the payload canister in the SSPF - RSPs (Resupply Stowage Platforms) being stockpiled, obviously for STS-135's MPLM.

Rex and I are at the NBL getting prepared for our run. We have to set up the tools for our suits and the many bags we will take with us.
I am training with Rex for contingencies. Mike and Ron will do the EVA during our mission.

John says that they are working overtime to support June 28th opportunity, and that Atlantis will be moved to the VAB a week early. It's a big push to make that date, with the tanking / XRays at the pad.

Sounds interesting:
Just finished undock training. ISS will be in an unusual attitude so we will get some unique views and pictures.

Thanks.
Was May 18 and June 1, likely to be moved up as stated.

Ongoing Commercial delta V discussion moved to Commercial Space Flight General board to keep things focused on STS-135

Sorry to go back to this a few days after it was posted, but I recall reading "discussion" (can't remember if it was here or elsewhere) about a possible request to move STS-135 into the August/September range as late in the FY as possible.
Is that discussion dead as a doornail and are all eyes on the June launch window at this point?
Thanks, in advance.

You're correct. The idea was to see if they could hold out for a few ORUs to get built (as they won't support the June date), but recently - per Gerst - they've become more solid on the June target, as has the ISS side.

But is that because of the ORUs being ready, or being deffered, crew ops pressure, or funding pressure?

They've never said. Betting it's to do with funding in some way.

Just because some would like to know, SRB stacking is scheduled to begin today for STS-135.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the thread, but will STS-335 be on LC39B anytime soon for Endeavour's April 19th launch? I will try to be out there April 8th and take photos of the two if they are there. Didn't get a chance to last time (STS-124 and 326). Thanks.
