From your blog: "...science, hard work and truth." Can't think of a better motto for this event...

Right now there is no news. And no news is good news. I hope there won't be any issues with first stage loading, tower retraction and so on. And the weather is on our side.

Yeah, sorry about the erroneous weather allusion on the other thread. Was using Google News, didn't note the source, but I think now that there's some advance concern for Endeavour, not Phoenix; either the article or I mixed things up.

In case weather worsens for the first launch opportunity we could skip it and proceed with the second... I don't believe that weather is the big issue for tomorrow. |

Should we also be starting a "Phoenix Post-launch News" thread?

A bunch of pictures of Phoenix' instruments were posted on Photojournal today. There's a nice illustration of the business end of the robotic arm:
http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA09949 I also note that that is number 9949 on Photojournal...should just be a couple weeks before they hit 10,000  --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

What's the status with the rollback? I woke up a little late and can't track the latest status...
