One of the cams back over to the VAB...I believe this is the right forward center segment being positioned for mating...

Very nice editing job ShuttleDiscovery, where did you get the Harmony picture of the correct scale?

Looks to me like an edited copy of Unity from one of the 2A flights. Outstanding job! I did a 13A projection myself after 12A. It's always nice to get a perspective on where we're going on the construction flights.

Thanks for the nice comments guys!

I did not actually use any other picture to do Harmony! I just selected the parts off destiny (from the same picture), and added it to where Harmony should be and made it look about the right size. Then I grabbed the circular front side of destiny and moved it to the front of Harmony to make it look right. I then carefully added the CBMs on to it.

It took me hours to do the crew and the ISS for this! By the way, the background image was from STS-116, the ISS from STS-117, and the crew from the official portrait for STS-120.

And believe it or not, all of this was done on freeware (paint.net)

ShuttleDiscovery - 4/8/2007 1:01 PM Does anyone like my STS-120 mission poster? I tried to make the ISS look as if it was taken after STS-120. I think it's my best piece of photo editing yet! http://bp1.blogger.com/_9LYc2Zpf5t8/RrRbeHWz1yI/AAAAAAAAAE0/RpDmjiUOWwE/s1600-h/sts-120poster.jpg

Totally cool!! Well done!

Not bad. To improve further, you need to add shadows around the feet on the ground to prevent the cut-and-paste look it has now. Use the burn tool. This is hard and takes lots of practice.

Question: Will be ITS P6 relocated from Z1 truss segment to ITS P5 during sts-118 ? I read flight plan. There's info about some work around P6... but i'm not sure if that's only preparation for unberth the truss when next mission comes (sts-120) ?

No. That's STS-120's task of performing P6 relocation from Z1 to P5.

Right forward segment was lifted into the integration cell a few hours ago:

As everyone apparently knew ;> the launch target is 10/23 per L2, confirmed on a schedule page here and today's briefing.

Yes I perked up on that too, so moving form October 20 to October 23...the launch is now an hour or so earlier in the day isn' it? Thought they were looking at 12:50 p.m. for October 20...

psloss · « **Reply #236 on:** 08/09/2007 12:02 am »

As noted in the 118 FD1 thread, the date change has been on L2 for a while now...

Also noted in this story from 21 July:

Read the news site. News will break here first, the date change was weeks ago here.

With regards to the current KSC webcam image of the top of one of the SRBs, is this the right SRB, confirming that SRB stacking is now complete?
