• Payload decision today:
  
  (From L2):
  Integrated Flow Status (USA/KSC)
  OV-104 (STS-117)
  
  · Still working towards rollout on 7th. Tile is still the critical path. Orbiter discussing Chit on ceramic inserts at Noon Board today. Have a lot of work to do, which will get us down to the wire. But, plan right now is to be ready to go to the OPF on Saturday. Will roll at 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
  
  · Have had quite a bit of rain at KSC. On Pad A, discovered some water intrusion in the PCR. Looking at that and performing an assessment. On Monday, will make a determination about payload to the pad, which will happen either on 12th or the 18th; will be looking at that over the weekend.

• Two days to rollover!  If this occurs on Wednesday, what time will they shoot for?  Obviously never set in stone and changes easily but there's usually a target time to haul her out of the OPF and mosy her on over to the VAB.

  They are aiming for 6am.

• Thanks Chris.  Now I'm hoping it gets delayed a bit now so we can see a pre-dawn/dawn rollover. It would make for a good desktop photo.

• Probably a stupid question, but I have only recently started watching coverage on NASA TV, and I was wondering if the rollout would be on there. I was going to get up a little early to see it, but if not then I will just look at pictures when I get home from school.
  
  Thanks,
  Michael

• Usually rollover is not covered by NASA TV. But some footage might be on the gallery later.
  
  btw, you can check all special events covered by NASATV here: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/MM_NTV_Breaking.html

  They will show it in the NASA Video File.

• If the rollover occurs during ISS commentary they'll probably air the event.  If it occurs during any other program we'll have to wait for video file, gallery and pictures from the KSC media site.

• Still on for 6am? That's 11am UK right? Hope some screenshots can at least be done for this. Stupid NASA TV

• From KSC Video feeds: S3/S4 Module has been unvieled as of 8am est! Getting closer to transporting it to Pad A.

• Still hearing all 'go' for rollout tomorrow at 6 AM EST.  Waiting for possible stand-up later this afternoon.

  We were hoping to gain a Stand-Up report from KSC for L2 that would most likely include the status of rollover preparations for Atlantis.  It didn't happen for whatever reason but we can all wait patiently and see what happens in the morning. Sorry to confuse you.

• Waiting to hear of first movement on rollover.
  
  We'll start a new thread from the moment she's in the VAB.
