Re: NASA's Return to Flight Mission July 13!
 

Well actually after checking the Nasa site again, here it said the first landing is now Monday, August 8th. So we were both wrong initally.

*note all above dates were updated.
**all above times are touch down unless otherwise noted.

Yeah, I had a busy day at work... I read my watch's date readout and only saw the 8 for some reason, thinking today was Friday, August 8th, meaning this coming monday would have been the 15th. Wow does time fly. :p

Anyway, yeah, Monday, August 8th is the expected reentry date.

The landing has been delayed due to low clouds near the runway. It is now scheduled to begin the deorbit burn at 5:15 AM EDT and land at KSC at 6:22 AM EDT.

Deorbit burn now scheduled for 4:01 am EDT and landing at 5:07 EDT at KSC. If that is aborted, they can have another go at it for a 6:45 am EDT landing at KSC. If that is aborted, it looks like Edwards will be the runway of choice, although I think they are going to do everything possible to bring it down at KSC. The bay doors have been closed and the computers have already been switched over to the software for reentry and landing for the first attempt at KSC. :)

I hope they come back safe! They all know what they are doing so they will be fine im sure!

Re: NASA's Return to Flight Mission July 13!
 

First shot aborted. Let's hope they can hit the 6:45 am EDT landing at KSC. If not they are coming to California! Whoo!

Discovery, has touchdown safely at Edwards Airforce Base. Welcome Home

Welcome home Discovery! It made a beautiful landing at Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California and made a nice little double sonic boom I could hear at my house on its way. :)
