Will there be any webcam coverage we can follow on Wednesday?

I'm not sure anyone knows who decides what KSC camera views are selected for the online pages. You'll just have to keep checking the camera pages around that time and after to see what shows up.

Seems like they're running a bit behind schedule. They're currently attaching the FWD sling to the crane.

FWD sling have been attached and lifted:

It's on track for today for sure.

View of the area above the checkout cell. My guess is we'll be catching sight of her soon.

Actually that is over the transfer aisle. HB 2 is to the left in the image, HB 1 is to the right.

Still no sign of ET-120. Must still be in the checkout cell.

DaveS · « **Reply #428 on:** 09/05/2007 06:29 pm »

Could we get any updates on how work is going?

ET-120 on the move:

My bad on the location mistake. It all looks the same to me

Tanks are "its" orbiters are "shes".

Nobody flies or sails aboard one.

Probably safe to say the ET is or almost is between the SRBs by now since it was several hours ago that it has been lifted, according to the KSC webcam screenshot earlier in the thread.

I'm thinking it doesn't make a shred of difference to how a tank is referred.

'She' was the first word that popped into my little brain so I spat it out. Wasn't going for reference accuracies.

In the meantime, great to see IT being mated once again.

Is there any webcam with the mating process ? Or I am behind schedule ?
