| Is it the heater or the sensor? | 02 Jul 2006 12:06 GMT | 2 |
When they get this kind of problem, how do they know if the heater is bust,
and not just the temp sensor which is measuring it?

| WB-57F "NASA 926" off for mission rehearsal today | 02 Jul 2006 04:04 GMT | 5 |
Moments ago at 11:20am EDT (1520z), WB-57F "NASA 926" departed
Patrick AFB and began his spiral to his FL560-FL590 altitude block. He
will be rehearsing his role for Saturday's Shuttle launch, during which
he will photograph the orbiter to determine if there was any damage

| What was the RCS heater problem? | 02 Jul 2006 02:55 GMT | 6 |
When Miles O'Brien and Eileen Collins were talking during the 9 minute
hold, they mentioned an RCS heater problem and were wondering if they
could get to it on the pad and would try to fix it if/when they
scrubbed. Apparently, it didn't generate a no-go condition, since they

| Range violation | 02 Jul 2006 02:40 GMT | 2 |
I heard about a "range violation" and that was another reason they
scrubbed the launch. It sounded like there was an unidentified boat in
the "recovery area." I'm presuming this meant the solid rocket
recovery area. Any other info on this?

| Shuttle the other way around? | 01 Jul 2006 18:26 GMT | 4 |
I know it's wayyyyy too late to do this now, but could the shuttle have
been designed with the heat shield facing outwards?
I mean, you've got all the foam and ice debris falling down largely
between the tank and the shuttle, so the outer face is presumably mostly

| STS-121 ascent abort mode boundaries? | 01 Jul 2006 15:24 GMT | 3 |
Can anybody share with us the MET points that abort
modes transition from RTLS to TAL to ATO?

| How early can a scrub be decided ? | 01 Jul 2006 14:22 GMT | 4 |
The status report shows a 60% change of weather not permitting a launch
on saturday and similar stats for sunday.
As I recall, the decision is usually made during the t-9 minutes hold.
Are there rules/procedures that cause NASA to decide on a no-go much
