Being weighed, I think. For some strange reason the camera page isn't showing the move, but I think I see a glimpse of the crane cables back in the corner behind Kibo.

Great to see it finally being transferred. Do we have a date for payload-to-pad?

Large module, but looking at the last FAWG, the JEM looks twice as big! Any images of that in the facility?

Wow two days after SSV rollout. That's a bit unusual.

My family and I did the KSC tour last Sunday Sep 9th which included the viewing gallery for the Station Compoent prep room. You canot see everything from the window but I got a nice shot of Node 2 all buttoned up and ready to go. I also got pics of Columbus all covered in plastic and of the little top piece of Kibo. Pretty cool seeing the nodes in person knowing they will be up in space really soon.

Edit: Other pics from the tour are here http://www.flickr.com/gp/9703598@N05/Ue275q

NASA TV is currently running b-rolls of animations of mission activities that will be done during this mission.

Yep, today's the big press conference day on the mission.

psloss · « **Reply #495 on:** 09/14/2007 01:06 pm »

Wayne Hale in the program overview talking about some of the shuttle manifest options (albeit in a very high level way) that have been reported here in the past few weeks.

The 5 EVA deal for STS-120 is now baselined into the new flight plan (still being finished, but it's in).

psloss · « **Reply #497 on:** 09/14/2007 01:11 pm »

Hale also noting the change in the flight readiness review (FRR) process before this flight...I believe this has also been noted here, too.

Yeah, Hale also said the flight would be extended by a day...not sure what that works out to for the baseline.
