STS-115 close to launch

8 Sep at 15:09 by Wilson

If everything goes ok, STS-115 should launch just over 10 hours from now, at 11:41 Florida time (that’s tomorrow morning at 1:41 AEST). After a weather-related delay and then a problem with a fuel cell (they decided to go ahead anyway, as two of the three fuel cells are enough to power the shuttle during the whole mission), this is probably the last chance for a launch inside this window.
