STS-122 Launch
STS-122 (finally!) scheduled for launch at 2:45:30, smack in the middle of today’s 10 minute launch window.
Official clock:
Here is NASA TV, live, with approx. 60 sec. delay.
Congratulations, Atlantis, on a splendid liftoff!




This feed is the coolest thing ever.
I know, innit? I put it on my desktop (using Vista’s nifty but resource-costly Sidebar feature) during missions.
NASA TV used to be available from most cable providers, until NASA switched to digital-only satellite broadcast, when many dropped it due to waning interest. They also made the switch during the post-Columbia down-time, when no one was watching, anyway. My cable channel carries it occasionally during missions (for briefings, launches, other significant events) on an HD channel, but I don’t have an HDTV, so’s I’m stuck with teh Internetz.
