How touching...

Not OP but bump for new thread

The panels at the end were a nice touch.

GODSPEED ATLANTIS...AUUHH

>>18646025
Indeed, I liked those.

series.

OH MY GOD, CAPTAIN KIRK IS A TECH.

So is it 20 minutes to launch, or 20 minutes to continuation of launch?

How do you have your six streams set up op?

very touching.

Next time, don't post a new one so early, threads don't stop bumping until 300 posts, as far as I know.

Hi.

>>18646057
is there any reason not to start a new one?

>>18646044
20 minutes on the countdown but about an hour until launch

>>18646056
Just noticed
>vlcsnap
Faggot... Get on MPC-HC.

what is the best hd stream?

>>18646053

>>18646073
dat quality.

>>18646072
what's the countdown for, then?
>>18646074
MPC-HC doesn't work as often as VLC for me. Not sure why you'd recommend it.

shit, it's about to happen.

OVCC Signed off with some emotion.
CDR reporting cabin pressure right now.

And there is the countdown resumption.

>>18646088
4 Audios at once?

I see everything GREEN on the weather cam. A good sign?

>>18646100
Holds allow consoles to reach decisions points.

Seems no constraints and all go.

>>18646116
Green is good, yep.

from /sci/

what's better:
nasa tv 1200Kbps
or
ustream - nasa tv hd2 ?
both show the same?
which one's better quality?

Closeout Crew's Fareful
Fri, 08 Jul 2011 11:20:04 PM GMT+0900

Before leaving the White Room for what may be the final time, each member of the Closeout Crew held up signs bearing the following message:

"On behalf of all who have designed and built, serviced and loaded, launched and controlled, operated and flown these magnificent space vehicles... Thank you for 30 years with our nation's space shuttles! Godspeed Atlantis! God bless America!"

And after some final words from Closeout Crew Chief Travis Thompson, the team departed the pad.

2 audios btw


Ok PSP is now deactivated.

and we are counting...

>>18646130

Sorry guys. I might be starting to get a bit emotional...

T-9 Minutes and Holding
Fri, 08 Jul 2011 11:33:17 PM GMT+0900

Clocks are holding for 41 minutes, 10 seconds. This is the final planned hold for today's countdown. During this period, launch managers will settle on a specific time for a preferred liftoff, and the hold time can be adjusted accordingly in order to align the rest of the countdown with that time. Right now, launch time is 11:26 a.m. Flights to the International Space Station allow only a 10-minute launch opportunity, and 11:26 a.m. is in the middle of today's window.

>>18646311
Don't ask, bro, don't ask.

>>18646338
You seem confused.

Still plenty of rain showers in the RTLS zone. They are light enough that it's possible the STA could clear the area anyways, but right now it's a red on paper. Unfortunately the scanner feed that normally carries weather recon is streaming NASA TV,

oops, I accidently the whole shuttle

A sad day indeed. I fucking grew up watching the space shuttle, wanted to be a astronaut all my life.

On to mars, I say!

I think it'd be amazing ending if this mission finished with the Atlantis crashing into the atlantic. Sinking to a point so that explorers in the future would go looking for the Lost Shuttle of Atlantis.

>>18646400
I know that feel

Did someone say weather delay?

>>18646197
Albertafag here, really wishing I was there. Would have been nice to see at least one shuttle launch.

>>18646400
Well, you know this isn't the end of the space program, right? They're just retiring the shuttle in favor of the new space plane.

>>18646400
Me too sir. NASA aerospace scholar in HS, have a degree in astronomy now.

Sad day indeed

>>18646415
Shh, the space plane is a secret.
We're using privately manufactured rockets instead, as they're going to be a lot cheaper. It's crappy losing our re-usable orbital spacecraft, but the technology being used in the future will be a lot better.

OP could have posted a link to one of those streams.

Oh I cannot wait for the skylon's to start testing. Our first SSTO space plane.

Weather Currently Observed 'Go' for Launch
Fri, 08 Jul 2011 11:48:28 PM GMT+0900

Weather across Kennedy Space Center is observed "go," and hopefully conditions will remain that way for the next 40 minutes or so -- long enough for space shuttle Atlantis and a crew of four astronauts to launch on the STS-135 mission.

"We are cautiously optimistic we will be 'go' for launch at 11:26 a.m.," said NASA Launch Commentator George Diller.

1142 step being completed.

Good riddance, space shuttle. You were an hallucinating, over-engineered feat for way too long. Let's go back to Saturn/Soyuz like launch systems which are tried, tested and proven.

OH SHIT BSOD

Here is Atlantis on the pad during STS-122

Notes from the weather office:

PAO Diller just said "cautiously optimistic" IF there's no convective build up with expected passing zones of moisture. STA has the waiver book out for sure!

Plenty of lighting near Tampa but that should stay far enough west to not be an impact of anvil clouds. Not much cloudiness to worry about otherwise, it's just a wait-n-see on the showers.

Fuck that was quick!

The Shuttle SRBs will produce 12.5MN (meganewtons) of thrust for 269 seconds. Using the external tank adds an additional 5.4MN of thrust to the shuttle.
