Don't know if the official Phoenix website will ever update with a "Where is Phoenix now?" page, but you can see Phoenix's current position in space using JPL's Solar System Simulator now:

Now that Phoenix is safely on its way, September 26 is being eyed as the new launch date for Dawn...

Third stage ignition!

Living in California, I went to bed around 10 PM to try to get 4 hours of sleep, before getting back on the comp around 2 AM to catch the last 26 minutes of the countdown. Needless to say, there's still an hour left before launch...and I obviously couldn't get back to sleep. Too much excitement!

EDIT: Weather officer HAS IMPROVED the launch weather forecast to 90%!

MST rollback taking place now!

Hmm. Does anyone know why the tower hasn't retracted yet?

EDIT: Nevermind. Lightning reported 50 miles southeast of the launch pad...said to be drifting north.

Ignore it. Despite having a nice layout, there are so many faults with the Phoenix website.

I think those 'sources' were just pulling your legs.

It was mentioned in a NASA press release yesterday...

"Due to a forecast for severe weather around the Kennedy Space Center launch pad in Florida on Tuesday afternoon, fueling of the second stage will not be completed. Although fueling is expected to be finished Wednesday morning, there is insufficient contingency time in the schedule to move forward with the launch on Friday."

Awesome. Thanks Ben

Does anyone know if the second stage fueling was completed this morning?

Ben... Always the bearer of good news.

An 80% chance of favorable launch weather conditions this Friday...according to Spaceflightnow.com.

Go Phoenix!!

The unfortunate sight of seeing Dawn back in its processing facility is made up for by the photos of Phoenix now in place at pad 17-A.

Phoenix is now in its payload canister...ready for delivery to Pad 17-A.

Yep. Gotta make sure Phoenix launches in time so it can make its May 2008 collision with the Martian surface. J/k.

Chances of acceptable weather on Tuesday (7/10) if Dawn can't get off on Monday: 70%... According to Floridatoday.com

Here's hoping NASA will extend the launch window by this just one day to increase Dawn's chances of getting the heck off the ground. Forget Phoenix...what with that MARDI foul-up and all. J/k.

Just checked on Yahoo.com... The weather in Florida on July 13 calls for mostly sunny weather and 10% precipitation. Why the 6-day stand down?

Anyone know what the outcome was from today's Flight Readiness Review? I heard that the launch weather constraint forecast for Saturday and Sunday is 60%

A few weeks later, a photo was posted on the NH website showing a couple posing next to a piece of nose fairing wreckage that washed up on the beach of some Carribbean island

The Atlas V nose fairing was signed by the New Horizons team before launch

The Delta nose fairing should be placed around Dawn tomorrow
