132's External tank and booster stacked and ready for Atlantis!

Atlantis due to roll over to the VAB April 12. Fitting day for the final rollover of Atlantis. It will be the 29th Anniversary of STS-1

Atlantis's payload being prepared and loaded into the payload transport canister.

Poor Atlantis. The fat lady is doing her vocal exercises.

Please do. My advice would be to by a cheap tripod and mount your camera on it and put it on burst mode or auto mode if you have it. That way you can watch the launch with your own eyes. That's what i done and even though i only got pics up until it cleared the tower it was worth it to be able to watch it with my own eyes.

Be bringing a 70-300 lense, so should end up with photo at this range.

I'd a 45-200mm lens and got reasonable pics. I was reluctant to buy a bigger lens as i'd never get the use out of it.

Here's a couple of examples of mine.

Was that from the causeway?

Yeah,it was. Great view of the Orbiter as it sits on the pad and you could see it up until Booster sep.

Rollover to the VAB now set for Tuesday 13th.

Beeker · 12-04-2010, 13:29

Rollover still scheduled for tomorrow with Rollout to the pad set for Tuesday 20 April but talk of moving that forward to Monday 19th, the same day as the 131 landing. Could be a busy day at KSC

Everything seems to be going to plan so far.
