Shuttle Endeavour has been clearedfor launch from Kennedy Space Center's pad 39-A on its 23rd mission- the 127th space shuttle flight and the 29th shuttlemission to the International Space Station.
Thecountdown has just picked up following the planned T-9 minute hold as finallaunch preparations are rushed to completion.
Endeavour'spreferred launch time is 6:03:10 p.m. EDT (2203:10 GMT) ? near the midpoint ofa 10-minute launch window that closes at 6:08:10 p.m. EDT (2208:10 GMT).
Stormyweather near the Florida launch site has dissipated and is now observed 'Go' onall fronts with no constraints to launch.
Themission management team has been polled and all have reported 'Go for launch.'The seven STS-127 astronauts, led by veteran mission commander Mark Polanskyand pilot Doug Hurley, are strapped into their seats, runningthrough their pre-launch checklists and are closely monitoring spacecraft systemsfor their ascent to orbit.
Notechnical or vehicle issues are being worked at this time, with very littlechatter on the internal communication loops.
TheEastern Range is reporting 'Clear for launch.' The two Solid Rocket Boosterrecovery ships are on-station, about 140 northeast of Cape Canaveral andabout 7 miles away from the predicted impact point of the spent boosters.Conditions at the primary Trans-Oceanic Abort Landing (TAL) site in Moron,Spain are 'Green' or 'Go' for launch.
Overthe next nine minutes, the Orbiter's access arm will be retracted, thehydraulic power system (APU) started, the liquid hydrogen and oxygen tankspressurized, Endeavour's internal flight computers will take control of thecountdown and a booster steering test will be conducted. The three spaceshuttle main engines will ignite at T-minus 6.6 seconds and the twin solidrockets boosters will light at T-minus zero resulting in liftoff.
Allspacecraft systems are reported 'Go'. 9 minutes to launch.

Thestorm clouds have cleared, shuttle Endeavour's hatch has been closed andlatched for flight, the seven STS-127 astronauts are strapped into their seatsand final preparations are progressing smoothly for thisevening's launch attempt from Kennedy Space Center's pad 39-A. This is thesixth attempt to launch Endeavour on mission STS-127. Watch the launch live viaSPACE.com?s NASA TV webcast.
Thecountdown clock is currently halted at the T-minus 9-minute mark ? a scheduledbuilt-in hold lasting approx. 45 minutes. Launch is scheduled for 6:03:10 p.m.EDT (2203:10 GMT) ? near the midpoint of a 10-minute launch window that closesat 6:08:10 p.m. EDT (2208:10 GMT).
Stormyweather conditions along Florida's Space Coast have been slowly dissipating ?Launch Weather Officer Kathy Winters has just upgraded the forecast to an80-percent probability of acceptable conditions for launch.
As thecountdown enters its final 30 minutes, the launch team is not currently workingany technical issues. Weather at two of the primary Trans-Oceanic Abort Landing(TAL) sites in Moron and Zaragoza, Spain is both observed and forecast 'Green'or 'Go' to support a launch attempt this evening.
Veteran of two shuttle missions,astronaut Mark Polansky is commander of STS-127 accompanied byrookie pilot Doug Hurley. STS-127 mission specialists are Christopher J.Cassidy, Thomas H. Marshburn, David A. Wolf and Canadian astronaut JuliePayette who also serves as Endeavour's flight engineer.
Endeavour will deliver astronautTimothy L. Kopra to the International Space Station as flight engineer andscience officer and return Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata to Earth.
Wolf is making his fourthspaceflight and previously spent 128 days aboard the Russian Mir space station;Payette is making her second spaceflight, having previously flown on missionSTS-99 in 1999. Hurley, Cassidy, Marshburn and Kopra are spaceflight rookies.
Theastronauts are running through their pre-launch checklists and are closelymonitoring their spacecraft systems in preparation for their ascent to orbit.The close-out crew has finished breaking down the 'White Room' access platformsurrounding the Orbiter's hatch and departed the launch pad.
At thetime of launch, the International Space Station will be orbiting about 220miles above the central Pacific Ocean.
The16-day STS-127 mission will include five spacewalks and the installation of twoplatforms outside of the Japanese Kibo module. One platform is permanent andwill serve as a type of porch for experiments that require direct exposure tospace. The other is an experiment storage pallet that will be detached andreturned with the shuttle. During the mission, Kibo?srobotic arm will exchange three experiments from the palette to the platform.Future experiments also can be transferred to the platform from the insideusing the laboratory?s airlock.

Thecountdown is proceeding smoothly for thisevening's launch attempt of shuttle Endeavour on a mission to theInternational Space Station; however, persistent stormy weather surroundingFlorida's Space Coast remains a concern for launch. Watch the launch live via SPACE.com?s NASA TV webcast.
Launchis scheduled for 6:03:10 p.m. EDT (2203:10 GMT) ? near the midpoint of a10-minute launch window that closes at 6:08:10 p.m. EDT (2208:10 GMT). A finaladjustment may be made at the T-9 minute hold to more precisely align with theorbit of the International Space Station.
Chiefastronaut Steve Lindsey is flying weather reconnaissance and landing approachesin the Shuttle Training Aircraft to monitor conditions around the Kennedy SpaceCenter. Forecasters remain concerned about the possible formation of showersand thunderstorms within 20 nautical miles of the Shuttle Landing Facility. Twoprevious launch attempts on Sunday and Monday were scrubbed due toweather-related launch safety violations.
Endeavour'shatch has been closed and latched for flight, the seven STS-127 astronauts arestrapped into their seats and final preparations are progressing for thisafternoon's launch attempt from Kennedy Space Center's Pad 39-A. The countdownclock has just restarted following the planned T-minus 20-minute hold and willtick down to T-minus 9-minute hold - a planned, built-in hold to allow thelaunch team to catch up on any final preparations.
Thelaunch team is not currently working any technical issues as the countdownenters its final hour. The close-out crew has broken down the 'white room'access platform that surrounds the Orbiter's hatch and has departed from thelaunch pad.
Endeavour is about to sail on its 23rdmission to deliver the final components of the Japan's Kibo laboratory to theISS. The lab will provide a type of "front porch" for experiments inthe exposed environment, and a robotic arm that will be attached to the KiboPressurized Module and used to position experiments outside the station.

TheSTS-127 crew - led by veteran mission commander Mark Polansky androokie pilot Doug Hurley - just completed the final series of air-to-groundcommunications checks to ensure that the astronauts can talk to flightcontrollers and each other during the spacecraft's ascent to orbit.
Endeavour'smassive External Tank is now filled with a half-million gallons ofsuper-chilled liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen and will continue to betopped-off until launch.
Thelaunch team is not working any technical issues at this time. Stormy weatherconditions along Florida's Space Coast, typical for mid-July, have persistedthroughout the countdown ? at this time, conditions are 'Red' or 'No Go' forlaunch due to cumulus and anvil clouds, lightning and field mills (electricallycharged atmospheric conditions).
Theofficial weather forecast remains unchanged at an optimistic 60 percentprobability of acceptable conditions for launch ? the primary concern isshowers and thunderstorms within 20 nautical miles of the Shuttle LandingFacility and the formation of a storm cell with anvil clouds that is slowlymigrating toward the space center from the northeast.

NASA Eyes Weather for Tonight'sLaunch
15 July 2009 1:00 p.m. EDT
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - The weatheroutlook is slightly more promising than in recent days, but Florida's dynamicconditions still pose a risk to launch.
"It's looking a little bitbetter than what we saw the last couple of days," said launch weatherforecaster Scott McCormick of the 45th weather squadron. "The southwesterly flowhas really lightened quite a bit, so that actually bodes a little bit betterfor us. It will allow the sea breeze to push inland farther, hopefully with itthe showers and thunderstorms. We're still going with a 40 percent chance ofweather prohibiting launch."
Endeavour is slated to lift off thisevening at 6:03 p.m. EDT (2203 GMT).

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA is ontrack so far to launch the space shuttle Endeavour this evening at 6:03 p.m.EDT (2203 GMT).
The main concern remains theweather, with a 60 percent chance of clear skies predicted. Florida's volatileweather has swooped in at the last minute to foil previous launch attempts.
Mission managers are also examininga power-generating fuel cell on the shuttle that may be malfunctioning. Whilethis issue would not be a concern for launch, a broken fuel cell could meanshortening a mission for lack of power.
An investigation this morningsuggests the fuel cell may be fine.
"The preliminary indicationswere within limits," NASA spokeswoman CandreaThomas said. Mission managers are set to discuss and possibly clear the issueduring a meeting at around 2:30 p.m. EDT.
