They changed the pictures on the schematics to show the new configuration (P6-2B retracted)

Thanks Dave. This 'should' clear Endeavour from LON requirements, although I've always assumed they prefer to keep working a schedule that supports LON through to the clearance via late inspections.
Any USA/NASA guys got the full story on that?
Probably a moot point now (thankfully), but if Endeavour was on LON, how quick could the turnaround be considering the booster stacking just finished, the ET hasn't been mated and the orbiter is still under scaffolding in the OPF?
We had a series of conversations via some information that was on L2. The conversation was kept there to avoid any misrepresentation of OV-105's processing requests relating to LON. This is now less of a case so I can answer this here.
Endeavour's rollover date of July 5 was reachable and some work allowed/allows for an acceleration of this rollover date for mating. We would have been able to support LON if called, which is now downgraded due to successful port OMS pod blanket repair.
To answer when LON standdown happens, it is usually based around the results of Flight Day 2 and Flight Day 3 inspections and RPM. This wasn't the case with this flight due to OMS pod failing requirements. NASA may inform LON standdown now, although we always work to the last scenario and should the very unlikely case of MMOD damage ocure in the meantime and Atlantis can return to ISS, then we can support.

I should note, and as emphazed, all LON processing requirements noted over this mission were normal and expected. Specific to this mission and OMS pod repair, but totally within the norm for contractor (USA) fufilment of NASA requirements.

Interesting conversation between CJ and Capcom on the undocking computations in the case of off nominal attitude control with the ISS.
Spoke of page 344 of the Shuttle/ISS Joint Ops handbook.
Nice touch here with the banner too:
