Talk:STS-117 - Wikipedia
4 people in discussion
Although the Space Shuttle Processing Status Report S-092806 does state that STS-117 will launch from 39-B, I have very strong doubts that this is true. 117 was moved to 39-A in April 2006. The manifest, launch schedule, and countless other documents have it at 39-A. In fact, later this month we may see the second MLP go out to 39-A as a test before being brought back in for maintenance prior to the starting the stack process in late November. However, I am cognizant that the latest press release includes an entry for 39-B, so I won't change it. Just be on the lookout for this information to change back to 39-A, as what is in the press release is most likely a mistake. Cjosefy 11:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
- The official handover date of Launch Pad 39B from Shuttle to Ares operations is April 1, 2007. STS-117 is scheduled for February. So I would say, that 39B should be right. Let's wait for later status reports. --STS-Chris 11:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
- I hope what I said didn't sound like an affront to you. You obviously have an interest in these sorts of things, and I greatly appreciate you updating the information on STS-116 and STS-117, even if I believe this information to be incorrect. For better or for worse, the public information that NASA has released appears to be opposite of a great deal of internal information. In these cases, I understand that for the great majority of times, the public information must be used. I agree that we should wait for more information to publicly come out. There's a good chance both of us will stay on top of this issue. FYI, because you're interested, it appears that 39-A will be ready for flight ops on December 8, 2006.

- This source says that it is 39A. Hektor 16:39, 28 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

The article currently reads, "pad B will be deactivated after the launch of the Hubble servicing mission." This isn't quite right, is it? Won't it be at the end of the Hubble servicing mission that 39B is no longer needed by the shuttle program? Is there really a need for this text at all in an article about sts-117?

Lets see if there is a better one. There probably is a better one out by now. Casig10228 23:50, 22 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Is it appropriate to put a mission status section on the main page, or does it belong in discussion (or nowhere)?--Wikidelphia 02:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
The table says the Shuttle will launch March 15 at 6:43 AM. What 6:43 AM is meant? EST? UTC? --pile0nades(t,c) 19:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
