Does anyone know whether or not the SRBs are fully stacked for STS-117 yet?

This is from two weeks ago:
"SRB (NASA/MSFC)
The last forward segment transfer for the STS-117 BI 129 RH is planned on Tuesday. That will complete the BI 129 pack" -

Thanks for the update Chris. Good work on the article (since we're in the Atlantis thread). Will you let us know if they give a reason for the swap? Lucky girl. And we haven't gotten to go once

I read at nasawatch in this link http://www.opm.gov/news/president-george-w-bush-to-close-federal-offices-in-tribute-to-former-president-gerald-r-ford,1130.aspx
that due to ex-president Gerald Ford demise, all US national institutions were to be closed on Jan 2. And, seeing that KSC's video feeds didn't come up yesterday, I suppose the SRB transfer is due for today. -

What Chris wrote is apparently from 2 weeks ago, as he notes in his post.

Actually, as of today, this is the status of the Booster Integration report. As you can see (sorry about the crappy screenshot from the powerpoint - on L2) they've very very very nearly finished it off

Mission: STS-117 - 21st International Space Station Flight (13A) -
S3/S4 Truss Segment Solar Arrays
Vehicle: Atlantis (OV-104)
Location: Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 1
Launch Date: No earlier than March 16, 2007
Launch Pad: 39A
Crew: Sturckow, Archambault, Reilly, Swanson, Forrester and Olivas
Inclination/Orbit Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles
Technicians powered down orbiter Atlantis in Orbiter Processing
Facility bay 1 prior to the holidays. Over the holiday period,
thermal protection system waterproofing was completed. Final system
testing and processing continues in preparation for the vehicle's
roll over to the Vehicle Assembly Building, scheduled for Feb. 7.
The external tank scheduled to fly with Atlantis, designated ET-124,
arrived at Kennedy Space Center from the Michoud Assembly Facility in
New Orleans prior to the holidays. On Dec. 28, the barge brought the
tank to the turn basin in the Launch Complex 39 area, and the tank
was offloaded into the Vehicle Assembly Building. The next day, the
tank was lifted into the checkout cell for final processing prior to
being mated to the solid rocket boosters in high bay 1, scheduled for
Jan. 19.

Nathan, ET/SRB mate is targetted for 1/19/07. I believe rollover is set for Feb. 7th, unless that has indeed changed to the 2nd. (?) ;)Maybe Chris can shed some light on this. -
