A good view inside the MPLM prior to aft endcone closure. You can see how packed it is in there.

HELP! Does anyone know the alternative launch windows for Atlantis? I know the 7/8 launch window is 10 minutes. If that is scrubbed, I am trying to find out what the alternative launch times are. Can anyone help?
They will have about a 10-minute window every day until about the end of July. There are other activities that would preclude a launch attempt on a few days, such as a Delta 4 launch in mid-July.
After that, they would have similar opportunities beginning in mid-August.
Thanks for the speedy reply. Would it be approximately at the same time or a different time, maybe by only a few minutes? I am trying to figure out some travel plans right now for the Atlantis launch. Thanks.
Each successive day after July 8 will be 23-25 minutes earlier.

Jim - if you check Chris' post right after the question, you'll see a graphic that shows more precise times.

Just to note that daily window listings from July 8 - 28 can be found on Bill Harwood's excellent

And with that, the final Space Shuttle payload moves into the canister.
To the SSPF and the payload processing teams, who have sent every ISS module into space in pristine condition, we say thank you.

Winds hit 74mph at the landing strip and 70+mph at some of the towers - there is no work at the pad in these conditions.

There also were some signs of hail around the pad on radar, but no ground reports and it was just a weak signal so I doubt it. Severe threat is done, but still some thundershowers around.

One question is whether the storms impacted (or could impact) the tanking test timeline this afternoon...would guess they have time to either catch up or move things to the right a bit. RSS retract for the test was timelined for later this evening.

Well, it has delayed the timeline. According to the barchart posted on L2, the OWP Curtain Walls were scheduled between 1400L and 1900L and it has not happened. Neither has GVA Initial Activation and GVA Vent Extend And Lower. Those two events were scheduled for 1600L and 1700L.
And it won't happen any time soon as lightning still occurring near the pad.
