Yes, it wouldn't be feasable to have the payload rolling out with the stack for a number of reasons. You may see the payload arrive at the pad and raised into the RSS for transfer, I noticed you guys followed that here on 121. -

If they would install the payload into the orbiter, then have to roll back because of Tropical Storm Chris, would the payload be removed again prior to rollback?

No. In fact it would take more time to remove the payload than it would by rolling back with the payload.

True enough for the moment. However, small tropical systems such as Chris tend to be very unpredictable. This is true in terms of storm track, as well as rapid strengthening/weakening. That said, I hope your exactly right..........GO ATLANTIS!!!!! -

No, we're actually well ahead of schedule... Normally the third named system doesn't come until late August, and we got Chris a few days ago. First hurricane is usually mid-August.
