generator Back on line.. ?
If I heard correctly, that was for the PAPI system at the SLF:
http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/facilities/slf.html
Visual aids are provided by Precision Approach Path Indicators, known as the PAPI system. They utilize arrays of red and white lights that, when lined up properly by the pilot, will indicate the proper glide slope. A ball/bar light system is used for inner glide slope information on final approach - to inform the pilot whether he is on, above or below the glide slope for an orbiter touchdown point marked on the runway.
sounds like its good.. no constraint

Note for those on L2. We'll have a super high quality recording of this launch, from 30 minutes before launch to the end of the launch replay videos. About 700mb plus, at 1024 kbs, via some very clever work by our webmasters
Seen a sample, and it's amazing quality. It will be uploaded on L2 just a few minutes after the recording is complete.

Yes, it called the Visual Approach Slope Indicator(VASI).

Hopefully they'll get an ugly surprise here in 30 minutes.
Still no constraints for coming out of the T Minus 9 minute hold.

I see a couple of vultures flying near the pad... Shouldn't they be in cages right now?

Not quite the same as VASI; we just refer to it as the Ball Bar.
