However, the threat of Hanna bringing strong winds to KSC continues to delay her trip down the crawlerway. <\/p>\n As a result, KSC has now moved into Level 4 \u2013 or \u2018HURCON IV\u2019 \u2013 preparations, laid out in documentation that is designed to protect the vehicles and hardware in the event of high winds hitting the facility.<\/p>\n \u2018<\/b>HURCON IV: 72 hours <\/b>prior to forecasted arrival of 50 knot\/58 mph sustained winds. Personnel report for normal duty as usual HMT (Hurricane Management Team) begins developing securing plans and final configurations required for all Shuttle facilities and hardware,\u2019 noted an associating planning presentation. <\/p>\n As the threat of the storm continues, KSC facilities move into advanced stages of preparations by the day, with KSC set to move to \u2018HURCON III\u2019 on Wednesday. <\/p>\n \u2018HURCON III: 48 hours prior to forecasted arrival of 50 kt\/58 mph sustained winds. Non-essential personnel may be relieved from normal duties to assist with hurricane preps as required Rideout crew rosters are finalized. These personnel will be released and must return at the declaration of HURCON II.\u2019<\/p>\n Hanna is currently weakening, ahead of its expected transit towards the space coast \u2013 with forecasts predicting it will be a Cat 1 Hurricane when it passes to the east of the Cape. Should its path and\/or strength change significantly, managers will reassess the rollout situation.<\/p>\n Alternatively **CLICK HERE**<\/font> For the free trailer for the 1,900mb L2 video of an exclusive tour of the VAB, OPF and Pad.<\/p>\n Currently, STS-125 has two factors in play, the rollout schedule and the payload to the pad schedule \u2013 with the latter causing shuttle manager John Shannon to note that the \u2018likely\u2019 launch date at present is October 11.<\/p>\n Based solely on a Saturday rollout to the pad, STS-125 would have one day of contingency remaining in the flow towards an October 8th launch date \u2013 which is currently the \u2018official\u2019 launch date. However, STS-125 \u2013 as previously reported \u2013 is likely to slip a few days. <\/p>\n Aiding operations, managers have shifted the scheduled operation of transferring the STS-125 payload to pad shifted to September 19. A solid launch date target is not likely to be forthcoming until next week. <\/p>\n UPDATE: Wednesday\u2019s Ops Meeting has decided to attempt rollout of STS-125 at 10am on Thursday. More to follow shortly\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n STS-129 Crew:<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Currently manifested for October 15, 2009, STS-129\/ULF-3 will be an important logistics run to the International Space Station (ISS), building up the supply of spare components that will be stored on the outside of the Station. <\/p>\n Included in the delivery will be a spare latching end effector for the SSRMS (Space Station Remote Manipulator System), two pump modules, a spare trailing umbilical system for the Mobile Transporter and a high-pressure gas tank. <\/p>\n Though not yet official, information on L2 notes Colonel Charles Hobaugh as commander of STS-129, for what will be his third shuttle flight. Col. Hobaugh had previously served as pilot on STS-104 in 2001 and STS-118 in 2007.<\/p>\n US Navy (USN) Commander Barry \u2018Butch\u2019 Wilmore gains his first flight as Discovery\u2019s pilot. Commander Wilmore currently represents the astronaut office on all propulsion systems including the Space Shuttle Main Engines (SSMEs), Reusable Solid Rocket Motor (RSRM), and External Tank (ET).<\/p>\n Mission Specialists are listed as USN Captain Michael Foreman \u2013 who receives his second flight since debuting on STS-123, Doctor Robert Satcher \u2013 for his first shuttle mission, Lt. Col. Randolf Bresnik \u2013 also making his shuttle debut, and Leland Melvin \u2013 picking up his second flight following his first trip into space during STS-122.<\/p>\n Discovery will also be returning Dr Robert Thirsk to Earth \u2013 following his arrival at the ISS on a Russian Soyuz for his role on Expedition 19.<\/p>\n L2 Members: Refer to TAG keyword \u2018Assignments\u2019 \u2013 related L2 information on crew assignments.<\/font><\/em><\/p>\n L2 members<\/em><\/font>: All documentation \u2013 from which the above article has quoted snippets \u2013 is available in full in the related L2 sections, updated live.<\/em><\/p>\n **BRAND NEW STS-124 MISSION OVERVIEW MUSIC VIDEO \u2013 AVAILABLE HERE** (Free Video Section \u2013 Only requires to be logged into the forum) STS-125\u2019s rollout to Pad 39A was unlikely to occur before the weekend, due to the threat of Hurricane Hanna to Florida\u2019s space coast.

The 15-day mission has between three and four EVAs scheduled. Discovery\u2019s payload will be dominated by two large External Logistics Carriers (ELC) carrying two spare gyroscopes. Also riding up in the payload will be two Nitrogen Tank Assemblies (NTA) \u2013 along with an ammonia tank assembly.<\/p>\n
