Mike Curie/NASA Launch Commentator: Here in Firing Room 4 at Kennedy Space Center as we prepare for
today's launch attempt of STS-127.
We're keeping an eye on weather which has been an issue in Central Florida
and along the Space Coast for much of the last week.
At the present time, we have gone red for two weather rule violations. The first, cumulous clouds, the second, lightning.
And we're dealing with Phase 1 and Phase 2 lightning advisories in the area, as well.
Our hope is that as the sea breeze forms and the weather conditions develop throughout the day,
that this will all move further inland and we will not have to be dealing with any weather concerns.
At a matter of clarification, as we were discussing earlier today, the fact that this is our sixth launch attempt for STS-127,
our statisticians have gone back and looked at the records and STS-73 and STS-61C
both launched on their seventh attempt after six delays.
So again today we're making our sixth attempt to launch STS-127.
We're not working any major technical issues at this time.
The flight crew is awake. We will be keeping an eye on weather. And we'll keep you apprised.
At T-3 hours and holding with an hour and 33 minutes remaining in the hold, this is Shuttle Launch Control.
