[Space] NASA - STS-127 - ISS-2J/A (Endeavour)

[Codename47]

2230 GMT (6:30 p.m. EDT)
The stormy weather remains around the Kennedy Space Center is now violating the lightning, anvil and field mill rules.

Ho poche speranze...

SCRUB! For the second straight day, launch of space shuttle Endeavour has postponed due to summertime thunderstorms around the Kennedy Space Center.
Tuesday's target launch time to rendezvous with the International Space Station is 6:25:41 p.m. EDT. The time on Wednesday would be 6:03:10 p.m. EDT.

This is the fifth scrub for the mission after two gaseous hydrogen leaks in June and a delay Saturday to check shuttle systems for any harm caused by nearby lightning strikes.

Rimandato ancora.
Domani!

PS: Preciso che sono in Italia da qualche giorno.. la cosa assurda che quando ero in Canada e potevo guardarmi i lanci al pomeriggio non l'ho mai fatto


Buonanotte a tutti!

[Codename47]

Ricordo che il meteo per domani dà il 60% di probabilità di condizioni negative, il 40% invece per dopodomani! Certo che dev'essere frustrante per l'equipaggio prepararsi tutti i giorni notte a tutti!

[GioFX]

Ufficiale: si ritenta mercoledì (non domani), alle 6:03 pm, 00:03 ora italiana di giovedì 16.

sono stato in florida un numero sufficiente di volte per capire una cosa molto semplice: in questo periodo dell'anno, uragani a parte, il giorno è fantastico.. neanche una nuvola. La sera si alza un po' di vento, porta 4 nuvole e viene giù il diluvio. Il fatto è che loro lo sanno benissimo ma la finestra di lancio per intercettare la ISS è questa. Credo che anche mercoledi sarà scrub.. l'orario ideale sarebbe partire per le 17.00 ora locale ma la ISS deve collaborare con un orbita adeguata

[GioFX]

Beh almeno la probabilità di NO-GO per mercoledì scende al 40%... che dire... speriamo!

Notte!

SFN:


Will the 6th try be the charm for launching Endeavour?

Endeavour has been reloaded with a half-million gallons of rocket fuel at Kennedy Space Center's pad 39A for the sixth attempt to launch this International Space Station construction mission. Liftoff of the space shuttle is targeted for 6:03 p.m. EDT today, weather permitting.

Piccola curiosità: ci sono state altre missioni con 6 o più tentativi?

STS-61C ed STS-73, entrambe con 6 tentativi.

The field mill, lightning and cumulus cloud rules are no longer being violated. But the anvil cloud rule remains red.

2035 GMT (4:35 p.m. EDT)
The anvil cloud rule is no longer being violated. So all launch commit criteria weather rules are "go" at this time.

ora precisa per il lancio?

T-minus 9 minutes and holding. Countdown clocks have gone into the planned 45-minute, 24-second built-in hold. Launch is targeted for 6:03:10 p.m. EDT. Today's available window to get the shuttle off the ground extends just five minutes to 6:08:10 p.m. EDT.
Current weather conditions are "go" right now. Fingers are crossed!

All green across the weather rule board. Conditions are within limits for a launch today.

[GioFX]

2140 GMT (5:40 p.m. EDT)
Launch weather officer Kathy Winters says there's now less than a 10 percent chance of conditions preventing today's liftoff.

GO TO LAUNCH

2154:10 GMT (5:54:10 p.m. EDT)
T-minus 9 minutes and counting! The Ground Launch Sequencer has been initiated. The computer program is located in a console in the Firing Room of the Complex 39 Launch Control Center. The GLS is the master of events through liftoff. During the last 9 minutes of the countdown, the computer will monitor as many as a thousand different systems and measurements to ensure that they do not fall out of any pre-determine red-line limits. At T-minus 31 seconds, the GLS will hand off to the onboard computers of Endeavour to complete their own automatic sequence of events through the final half minute of the countdown.
