Bill Harwood reporting that Saturday is an option too:
http://www.cbsnews.com/network/news/space/current.html
Sounds like they are going to give up another contingency day if they need to...
Keep up, that was reported here four days ago.
That they'd try Saturday and that they'd give up a second contingency day?
Can you post a link after the briefing?
Thanx.

So cool. Glad they were able to build flight rationale for this one!

Looks good, and 20% due to weather for 24 hour delay happens.

No, we broke the news that it was being considered. Hale's only said it "now looks good" today.

I didn't hear Mike Suffredini's explanation about Saturday clearly, but it sounded like they are going to accept undocking as late as Sept. 18th, which would preserve at least a day for focused inspections.
Anybody catch that clearly?

Sure appeared to me to be him. So anyone know which media outlet he's working for?

Did a little digging, he's working for HDNet:
http://www.hd.net/pressrelease.html?2006-08-25-01.htmlJust don't recall seeing him at any of the recent briefings...

The short answer is that the original mission "requirement" had them undocking prior to the Soyuz launch. Upon further review, their analysis shows that they can remain docked until the 18th and undock some hours after the Soyuz launches, with the knowledge that they will be clear of the ISS vicinity in sufficient time to allow the Progress to undock and clear the vicinity before the Soyuz reaches ISS.

That briefing was great, and allayed most of my concerns with launching tomorrow. If anything, I'm more worried now about the Expedition 13 crew being too overworked in their final days!

Thanks, I was able to queue that up to review it again, too. He also noted again the issue that the orbiter causes for the KURS.

It would've been cool to see the shuttle there as expedition 14 arrives, to say good bye to Atlantis. A nice photo from Soyuz of ISS with Atlantis undocking. It'd be like the first Shuttle/Mir mission where Soyuz filmed the undocking a good distance away.
