I like to keep on eye on proceedings at KSC..

http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/countd.../video45lh.html

and this place..





has just had a webcam turned on - looks like the old MER final build facility - and I imagine MRO will go there as well before being integrated to the launch vehicle down the road at the LockMart facility.

Infact - I think they're getting the place ready for it to arrive soon - that white pipe will be to vent the spacecraft with clean air, and the cherry pickers will be so they can get to the top of the spacecraft (MRO is seriously big)

I used to watch MER testing and assembly more often and more dedicated than any fan of Big Brother

For those trying to get bearings - Camera 5 is looking down the length of the building - and Camera 13 is situated on the left wall just out of view of Camera 5 - looking down at the right wall.

If you want to point something out specifically (they will pan and zoom eventually) - then best to save an image and attach to your message

I cant wait to see the solar arrays - for some reason as a 3d animator, I've always loved solar arrays - they're an animation conunderum

Ahh - they're shutting the far end, I guess they'll unload form a truck into there, purge it clean, the open the partition again - then bring the spacecraft thru to this half.

I have got a program at work that's saving them to our webserver so I can check in and see if there's any action
