Thanks for the info. Tuesday is hard for me to break away from my business on west coast of Florida. Wish it was on a weekend but thanks again for keeping us informed.

awesome info...I'll see what I can do about getting that day off from work, then based on info from you, i'll get closer to the cape if we get a green light. :thumbsup: Thank you again for at least looking into this kind of opportunity for us.

As luck has it!!
 
With the last launch of Discovery this past Monday (5th of April), it was discovered during a post launch inspections from land and ISS cameras, that a piece of tile was 'liberated' from the rudder speed brake. :shrug01:

Word on the street is that the rollout of Atlantis, for Tuesday the 13th of April, to the VAB, will most likely be delayed so both it, and Endeavour, can be inspected in the same region. :banghead:

Of course, if the rollout is delayed to the VAB, so goes the the delay being built in for rollout to the launch pad...pushing back the 20th of April to another date yet to be determined. :confused:

Stay tuned...........

I was just thinking the same thing Tim. If's its on a weekend or Friday, it'll work. I think it is awesome of Nasajack to offer this opportunity. :thumbsup:

Landing vs. photo op
 
With the landing of Discovery, STS 131, postponed until the 3rd attempt (and 4th) is tried tomorrow, Tuesday, the 20th of April, at 0733 hours, the photo op at pad A for STS 132 has been cancelled for scheduled Division times at KSC. :nonod:

Landing takes presendence over rollout for duty times and stations. If Discovery is sent to Dryden, the photo op may be rescheduled, and/or brought back without notice. As for now, it remains cancelled.

Either way, my assignment for landing is at the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) whether Discovery lands here or in California...which removed me any from opportunity for a photo op at Pad A. No matter where Discovery lands ...my duty station remains at the SLF. Sorry for the inconvenience guys...maybe STS 133 or STS 134. :shrug01:
