Looks like a very high chance of rollback now.

It'll take some serious discussions with the Russians to see if they can push the window into the September 8-13 timeframe which would mean pushing the Russian Soyuz landing into a dead-of-night descent. Russia wants to avoid it because they just switched back to civilian landing management and the teams are pretty new, so of course they'd like to have daylight for recovery operations. NASA can make the window but it will be a close call and it will be up to the Russians if a rollback is ordered.

The briefing tomorrow will be interesting, especially with the outcome of talks with the Russians over the respective launch windows.

Exactly. That or it has to weaken substantially but Leinbach said that's highly unlikely. If anything happens it has to do so tonight.

In a "significant" way.

Great work from the KSC team to get the vehicle cleared... Sounds like there was only one item that stopped Monday as an option

If they do, you know it will cost us some big bucks. They haven't done much to help us without our throwing dollars at them. We will hide it in some diplomatic verbiage, I'm sure.
Cheers,

I don't think its nice to say they are interested only in bucks... and I also think they did a lot for the ISS since the shuttle fleet was grounded post-Columbia.
Just let's hope they can relax the night-landing rule and nothing bad happens with EXP 13 re-entry.

I'm not thinking bad of Russians. I'm just stating a fact. I am referring to the management of the Russian side of the ISS. In the past, they have squeezed dollars from NASA when NASA had little choice. From documents I have seen, they have charged us more than they have charged tourists for soyuz flights. Kinda kicking NASA when they were down.
Again, not against the Russians...just ISS management and their attitude towards funding when NASA has needed help.
Cheers,
Larry

I totally agree.
STS 115 is a freight mission.
Soyouz is a crew mission.
If any bad problem during Soyouz mission, it's the death of ISS.
If STS 115 is postponed ... nothing more than a new delay.
Just let's hope they can relax the night-landing rule and nothing bad happens with EXP 13 re-entry.
During post-Columbia period, Progress as well as Soyouz have done their job. Russian's safety rules were applied, and nothing bad happened.
I don't know if they can change that rules in a so short delay.
So .... please ... don't put any banana peel under the russian's shoe
