Anyone have a link to the launch windows for 135? TIA....
There's a fresh update on the MER Status presentations if someone has permission to capture it out of L2?
Chris normally does, so I'll do it.
Screenshot from one of the L2 presentations, latest set. Click the image to see a readable version of it.

Not much happening at the moment, as it's a lull before the storm (hopefully not literally). S0007 starts tomorrow. Will write a flow update for the countdown.

They must be flying incognito today. No flightaware track as of yet. NASA tweets they've departed JSC about 10 minutes ago.

I *think* PAO do a lot of the astro tweets (some say they don't, some say they do - really don't know) so given it's a US holiday that may be the reason.

So sad. Hope you get to get tankers in for SLS in not too much into the future.
I won't be around to do it. I've got about 3 weeks left. Plus they still haven't decided what they are going to do with the system (keep it cold and in service, drain the tank and refurbish, etc) so who knows when we'll be taking tankers again.

What he means is that Flightaware isn't tracking them... So either they didn't really take off yet (possible but probably not likely) or NASA requested that astronaut flights be hidden from public view by the FAA (more likely but strange not to occur until the last flight. Probably saw the threads here with flight paths posted?)

My reading of their Tweets is that I think this crew is doing them personally -- once they're on orbit, that probably is no longer necessarily a good assumption.
w.r.t. the flight from Ellington, one of their trainers posted they were wheels up a while ago:

The crew has arrived at the SLF in their two T-38s and is coming to the microphone to say a few words.

These T-38s are really neat!
The Mission crew looked in such great spirits waving their little flags!
Only 4 this time though I am sure they will fill in the work load as if they were more!
I still can't believe that this is the last Space Shuttle flight.

Processing (Pad Flow), Weather and Mission Planning latest via L2 - by Philip Sloss and some bloke called Chris Bergin
Philip with the Mr Alibaruho (how awesome is he?) quotes and content.
http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2011/07/sts-135-atlantis-s0007-tasks-weather-concern-launch/
"As with all recent missions, L2 is providing full exclusive level flow and mission coverage, available no where else on the internet. To join L2, click here:
http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/l2"
Nice article, both of you. Straight to the point, just the way I like them!
No kidding, folks. If you ever want to see what it's like on L2 during a Shuttle mission, now is just about your last chance to join and find out. If you're interested enough to be on NSF during a mission, you're interested enough to get a big kick out of L2. It's really quite well worth it.
