Will there be any modification to the payload in light of yesterday's events?
As of yesterdays presser, no mods to payload by NASA.

NASA didn't ask Roscosmos for more US payload on Progress M-28M.

I've forgotten; is there a late load for Progress available at the pad?

If I read correctly on the Russian forums, the decision to fly this one on a 2-day rendezvous profile is purely due to previous ISS debris avoidance burns that moved it out of the window to fly it on the 6-hour profile. Is that correct?

I just came here to ask about the omission of a six hour rendezvous, so if anyone can confirm, that would be helpful for my article

It has become impossible for Progress M-28M to rendezvous with ISS with an using of four-orbit profile without a changing a launch date due to ballistic reasons because ISS could not provide a necessary phase angle between ISS and Progress M-28M at the launch.

So was the processing flow too late to move the date around by 1-2 days? (back in May they tried to schedule it for launch on June 30 but the phase angle was too large)

No pressure - but this launch really has to go right.

Good article, Chris.
The article mentions HTV, but I don't remember reading about any planned changes in HTV cargo as a result of SPX-7. Did they not talk about this or did I just miss it? And apologies if you'd like this question elsewhere. I wasn't sure where to put it (article thread, failure thread, HTV thread).

Note the new paint on launch pad towers... It's beautiful !
