Low traffic, low winds, in the summer, it's cooler. But most of all, it allows all of 1st shift to preform the canister lift. Mush smaller crew needed for the canister transport vs canister lift, hence the larger crew is on 1st shift and not overtime
Oh, a wages-saver

Thanks! I was thinking NASA needs better webcams. I continually tell people NASA is always first when they cut government budgets.
I don't think they believe anyone is watching the webcams to be honest.

He's absolutely right. If millions were tuned into these things they might upgrade them. But these work just fine for us

Here we go on the payload, from L2:
"S0600, Payload delivery and installation status:
Payload delivery to the Pad occurred this morning at 0254 hrs.
The canister lift began at 0540 hrs this morning. "

SO who do we have to write to to tell them that they have a captive audience?

The only problem (if you can call it that) with the webcams is that they don't refresh often enough. Some have live streaming video and it's great but they could use more. I'm sure they have their reasons for not (bandwith surely) but it would be cool. Anyway...back on topic. Any updates on the crawler ops status?

Just a note re: NASA TV coverage of the rollout. It seems like it will only be broadcast on the NASA TV Media Channel according to the latest entry on the live events schedule:
February 14, Wednesday
7 a.m. - Space Shuttle Atlantis Rollout to Launch Pad - KSC (Media Channel)

I'll tape it then. I have the rollouts of STS-114 and 121. This is another to add to my shuttle collection.

There's a problem with a valve on Atlantis. No real details yet, but apparently it's got a lot of people's attentions.

I'm going to have to make a phone call in the morning but someone at KSC Media Relations told me badges for rollout will be ready for pickup on the 20th. I'm HOPING she just got her dates mixed up! But I'll find out in the morning. Although... Atlantis rollout in the morning, THEMIS launch in the evening... that would make for a pretty fun day of hard work.

Not only that, the preflight media briefings at JSC that runs all day. So I'm not sure how the live coverage on NASA TV of the rollout will be handled.
Could any of you guys down at KSC ask how they plan to handle this situation?

Can anyone list the times of Thursday's events, from rollout to the launches and press events, so I can plan my day?

In a worse case scenario, to replace valve, this could delay STS-117 until about April 20, 2007 at the earliest if atlantis has to be demated and taken back to OPF for valve replacement. I hope that it is not the case.
