Looks like they've turned the floodlights on for the VAB. That's a good sign.

Chance of T-storms is listed at 30 percent but that radar image looks a little ominous.
Haven't heard anything about a delay yet... -

The NASA logo on the side of the VAB and the FSS/RSS are usually brightly illuminated when a major activity is suppose to take place at night...
Just felt like sounding obnoxiously presumptious

What about tuesday morning or afternoon, will the weather be good by then? -

Rollout was originally scheduled for August 2...again courtesy of Spaceflightnow.com. If Atlantis is able to roll out tonight, the P3/P4 Truss will be installed inside the cargo bay on 8/2 (according to the NASA JSC site) -

That's just a NET time which has been known about ever since they scrubbed the first rollout attempt.

It all comes down to the weather as they can't roll if the probability of lightnings and precipitation is too high during the 8 hour rollout. -

looks like storms popping to the west of the space center

Here's a thunderstorm forecast for the STS-115 rollout. Best is 10% at 0200 EDT-1100 EDT.
So I would guess that they maybe would delay to NET 0200 EDT.

While it's far too early to tell exactly where it's heading or how strong it's going to be by then, Tropical Storm Chris looks set to hit Florida early next week...
Let's just hope that it doesn't develop into a big enough storm to require rollback...
[Edit for spelling]

#36 by shuttle_buff on 01 Aug, 2006 13:32

Guess what?
According to NASA history, Atlantis is the lucky orbiter to be rolled back twice due to hurricanes, both in 1996 (STS-79). Endeavour has been rolled back once due to Hurricane Erin and Columbia once due to a tropical storm. -
#37 by shuttlefan on 01 Aug, 2006 13:53
-
Just curious--Why, for example, couldn't they start rolling out now? Does it have to do with the workforce and shiftwork, etc? Just wondering why they delay 24 hours and not just wait on the weather...
-
#38 by Jim on 01 Aug, 2006 14:40
-
Because the weather is always bad in the afternoon and as you state, shiftwork. Rollout workers are now on 3rd shift.
-
#39 by Mark Dave on 01 Aug, 2006 17:38

So any news on when Atlantis will be moved? If she does get started to move to the pad tomorrow, what time will that be?

Remember that NASA TV has NO live coverage of the roll-out, only the last part, when Atlantis is close to the launch pad, will be live on NASA TV !!!

Let's hope we can do this by the end of the week. If Atlantis isn't hard down on 39B by Monday, the launch schedule will be affected.

All depends on how fast they go. They vary the speed between 0.5 and 0.9mph, but normally roll at about 0.9, and have on occassion had to stop for a time (you know, clear the stray alligator out the way, deal with technical issues).
It usually takes 5 or 6 hours for the stack to roll out to the pad. That would put us between 7 and 8 am eastern time. -

Take into account the odd bearing cooling and greasing periods.. 8hrs sounds right, with ref to the last roll out -

NASA'S SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS MOVES TO LAUNCH PAD
The Space Shuttle Atlantis arrived at its launch pad at NASA's Kennedy
Space Center, Fla., at 8:54 a.m. EDT Wednesday on top of a giant
vehicle known as the crawler transporter.
After two days of weather delays, the crawler transporter began
carrying Atlantis out of Kennedy's Vehicle Assembly Building at 1:05
a.m. Wednesday. The crawler's maximum speed during the 4.2-mile
journey reached 1 mph.
While at the pad, the shuttle will undergo final testing, payload
installation and a "hot fire" test of auxiliary power units to ensure
proper function. When testing is completed, the rotating service
structure will be moved around the vehicle to protect it from the
elements.
The launch window for the Atlantis mission to the International Space
Station opens on Sunday, Aug. 27. The mission, designated STS-115,
will be the first to perform a major expansion of the station since
December 2002.

Anyone know how long it takes to get the plumbing for water, LOX, and LH2 connected up, and how it's done (extra pipes needed, prepping the cryo pipe insulation and testing)?

Are there any photos coming to Launch Photography of this? IMO the photos there are cool, as it has amazing detailed photos and close ups of the orbiters.
From the rollback of Discovery prior to STS-114, there are hundreds of cables to hook up. -

I am in California enjoying a vacation, so I missed rollout this time. I'll be back before launch though. Call me Ben by the way, it's just my personal site.
