STS-127 Countdown in Final Planned Hold
Mon, 13 Jul 2009 04:57:40 PM CDT
At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the countdown clock has paused for 45 minutes at the T-9-minute mark. This is the final built-in hold for today's countdown to liftoff of space shuttle Endeavour on its STS-127 mission.
The countdown is going relatively smoothly, with no technical issues in work. Although launch managers and weather officials are monitoring weather conditions around the launch area and Shuttle Landing Facility very closely, liftoff remains scheduled for 6:51 p.m. EDT.
Watch for countdown clocks to resume ticking backwards at 6:42 p.m. when the T-9-minute hold is released.
