so if everything is a go then there won't be a T-5 min hold like Thursday?

 

[MeteorWayne]

That's correct. If the weather is good it will run uninterrupted from T-9:00 to launch. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

Weather Wayne update-final<br />Less than an hour to go.<br />Clouds, not too bad. There are one or two patches that could cause a problem if overhead at launch time, but the odds look good.<br />Showers: No problem. None anywhere near the cape:<br />Winds, hanging in there, NE @ 14, 3 mph below launch constraint. Speed has been steady for the last few hours with no gusts.<br /><br />After this, it's up to conditions at the cape and the aircraft testing the landing runway.<br /><br />Fingers crossed, I'm just watching from now on.<br /><br />Good luck, guys and gals! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

The tank cam looks pretty bright, especially when the SRBs were lit. Really sharp picture of ET sep. I'll bet they can process it up to see chunks well if any come off <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
