I just thought i'd start posting the Space Shuttle status reports i get in email here so that anyone can read them here and dont have to subscribe if they dont want to. You'll find the most recent report below. I'll continue posting new ones as they come out unless Vincent asks me to do otherwise.
ORBITER MAJOR MODIFICATION PERIOD

ORBITER MAJOR MODIFICATION PERIOD
VEHICLE: Discovery/OV-103
Shuttle Processing Note: An engineering evaluation continues following the
discovery late last year of a surface crack in a ball associated with a tie
rod assembly inside of a 17-inch liquid oxygen line aboard Discovery. The
crack was found during standard Orbiter Maintenance and Modification (OMM)
inspections. The crack is located on a 2.25-inch diameter metal ball
associated with the Ball Strut Tie Rod Assembly (BSTRA) inside Discovery's
17-inch liquid oxygen line. Further inspections of similar assemblies in
Discovery's 17-inch and 12-inch lines have found no cracks. Inspections of
Atlantis and Endeavour also have found no cracks.
Tests using spare BSTRA ball assemblies are under way as part of the
engineering evaluation and are not expected to be completed until later this
week at the earliest. The ongoing evaluation has had no impact on shuttle
launch preparations.

Grr, you know, I'd go over to watch Columbia if I knew for a fact they wouldn't delay it on the first launch attempt
But now Atlantis... oh oh oh... I'd break my neck getting over to see THAT. And it's a good date too. *yay*

I've been trying to see 107 (the Columbia launch) for months. When they had that problem with the fuel lines they bumped it back a lot in order to keep from falling too far behind on the ISS. Now, I'm stuck with four tix on a crappy date.
Ad astra per aspera.
Well that stinks i wish i could go but i know there is no way not with school starting this week and unfortunately ill have to tape the launch because ill be at school when it goes up.

That does stink Benji. If I attempt to see it, I'll probably be around Cocoa Beach or someplace like that. I never get to make shuttle launches so I never bother with launch tickets (that, and considering shuttles rarely launch when they're supposed to they're a pain).
I'll have my new digital camera by then. Maybe I'll take it out for a test run. Not that I'll get anything decent from across the waters... but it'll be better than not seeing it at all.

Well the shuttles do go on time ocasionally its rare but if you go back a few years like say STS-35 some were delayed 10 or more times before launching so once or twice isnt as bad atleast.

CREW: Husband, McCool, Anderson, Chawla, Brown, Clark, Ramon
ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE AND INCLINATION: 150 nautical miles/39 degrees
Shuttle Processing Note: The launch countdown began late last night for
Shuttle Columbia's Spacehab microgravity research mission scheduled to
launch this Thursday, Jan. 16. Work continues at Pad 39-A with preparations
in work for loading the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen into the Power
Reactant Storage and Distribution System. Due to the quantity and nature of
research to be performed on this mission, technicians have begun
preparations to load late stow payloads. Tomorrow will begin the 16-hour
task of loading the late stow payloads and experiments into the Spacehab
module.
Mission managers met last night to discuss the status of the ongoing
engineering analysis of a surface crack that was found on a 2.25-inch
diameter metal ball associated with the Ball Strut Tie Rod Assembly (BSTRA)
inside Discovery's 17-inch liquid oxygen line. No inspections were performed
on Columbia. The results of the testing have given the Space Shuttle program
enough confidence to begin the countdown, with the final launch rationale to
be presented at the standard meeting held two days prior to launch.
The STS-107 crew members arrived last night at the Shuttle Landing Facility
at Kennedy Space Center in preparations for their launch on Thursday.
Weather forecasters predict a favorable outlook for a launch attempt on
Thursday, with only a 5 percent chance of weather prohibiting launch.

MISSION STS-107 -SPACEHAB/ FREESTAR MICROGRAVITY RESEARCH MISSION
VEHICLE - Columbia/OV-102
TARGET LAUNCH DATE: Jan. 16, 2003
TARGET LAUNCH PERIOD: 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
TARGET LANDING DATE: Feb. 1, 2003
MISSION DURATION: 16 days
CREW: Husband, McCool, Anderson, Chawla, Brown, Clark, Ramon
ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE AND INCLINATION: 150 nautical miles/39 degrees
Shuttle Processing Note: The launch countdown began late last night for
Shuttle Columbia's Spacehab microgravity research mission scheduled to
launch this Thursday, Jan. 16. Work continues at Pad 39-A with preparations
in work for loading the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen into the Power
Reactant Storage and Distribution System. Due to the quantity and nature of
research to be performed on this mission, technicians have begun
preparations to load late stow payloads. Tomorrow will begin the 16-hour
task of loading the late stow payloads and experiments into the Spacehab
module.
Mission managers met last night to discuss the status of the ongoing
engineering analysis of a surface crack that was found on a 2.25-inch
diameter metal ball associated with the Ball Strut Tie Rod Assembly (BSTRA)
inside Discovery's 17-inch liquid oxygen line. No inspections were performed
on Columbia. The results of the testing have given the Space Shuttle program

SHUTTLE MISSION STS-107 LAUNCH TIME ANNOUNCED FOR LAUNCH ON JAN. 16
Managers today confirmed the launch of Space Shuttle Columbia for Thursday,
Jan. 16 at 10:39 a.m. EST. The launch window extends for 2 hours and 30
minutes. This announcement comes following a final review of Shuttle
processing activities and a satisfactory engineering analysis of the Ball
Strut Tie Rod Assembly (BSTRA).
STS-107 is a scheduled 16-day mission with a planned KSC landing at about
8:53 a.m. EST on Saturday, Feb. 1.
This mission is the first Shuttle mission of 2003. Mission STS-107 is the
28th flight of the orbiter Columbia and the 113th flight overall in NASA's
Space Shuttle program.
Mission STS-107 is an international mission devoted to space research, the
first dedicated research mission to be flown by the Shuttle in almost three
years. Columbia will carry in its payload bay the SPACEHAB Research Double
Module, a pressurized environment accessible to the crew. The module and the
Shuttle's middeck will hold most of the mission's more than 80 experiments -
involving more than 70 scientists worldwide - that will investigate space,
life and physical sciences.
The STS-107 crew includes Commander Rick Husband, Pilot William McCool,
Mission Specialists David Brown, Laurel Clark, Kalpana Chawla and Michael
Anderson, and Payload Specialist Ilan Ramon with the Israel Space Agency.

MISSION STS-107 -SPACEHAB/ FREESTAR MICROGRAVITY RESEARCH MISSION
VEHICLE - Columbia/OV-102
OFFICIAL LAUNCH DATE: Jan. 16, 2003
OFFICIAL LAUNCH TIME: 10:39 a.m. EST
TARGET LANDING DATE: Feb. 1, 2003 at 8:53 a.m. EST
MISSION DURATION: 16 days
CREW: Husband, McCool, Anderson, Chawla, Brown, Clark, Ramon
ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE AND INCLINATION: 150 nautical miles/39 degrees
Shuttle Processing Note: On its first launch attempt, Shuttle Columbia with
its seven-member crew lifted off at 10:39 a.m. EST from Launch Complex 39-A
to begin its 16-day SPACEHAB microgravity research mission. The launch team
worked no significant technical issues during the flawless countdown.
This mission is the first of 2003 and the first dedicated research mission
to be flown by the Shuttle program in nearly three years. Mission STS-107 is
the 28th flight of the orbiter Columbia and the 113th flight overall in
NASA's Space Shuttle program.
Columbia is carrying in its payload bay the SPACEHAB Research Double Module,
a pressurized environment accessible to the crew. The module and the
Shuttle's middeck will hold most of the mission's more than 80 experiments -
involving more than 70 scientists worldwide - that will investigate space,
life and physical sciences.
Solid Rocket Booster retrieval ships Liberty Star and Freedom Star are
positioned in the recovery area about 140 miles east of Cape Canaveral ready
to pick up the two spent booster casings. The ships are scheduled to return
to Hangar AF at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station no earlier than Saturday,
Jan. 18.

And if I had gotten up earlier... Ida gone over to see it. It was spectacular. Saw it on Nasa TV and outside my apartment
It's always a great show.
It's always a great show.
