Yes, by the way, Jackyg welcome to our forum and supporting spaceflight in general, I hope you enjoy your stay here!
4 minutes to sunset on this pass, on orbit 189 of the STS-117 mission, the next Mission Status Briefing with Entry Flight director Norm Knight and MMT chair John Shannon is coming up in 10 - 15 minutes.

Not one of them thought to ask about manifest impacts if they land at Edwards. I would think not much given that the next couple of flights are scheduled for the other orbiters, but it would have been nice to hear that from Shannon. Oh well.

A ferry flight could have a direct impact on processing schedule margins for Atlantis' next flight, particularly given that weather has to cooperate for the ferry, too.

Why do they stow the KU antenna so early? Seems kind of insensitive to us addicts! :laugh:
(Kidding, I'm sure there's a good reason.)

Probably because they'll have one less thing to worry about not working.

Yes that is right, if the KU antenna does not fold back in line with the payload bay sill, then either it will be jettisoned or a EVA needed to fold it back so the payload bay doors can be closed the day of entry. KU is soon to end when the KU antenna is stowed sometime early this evening after MCC-H is done using it to download some data.
