Nothing really new in today's L-3 Countdown Status Briefing. Everything is GO to start the countdown later today at 4 pm EDT at the T-43 hour mark.
Weather is expected to be great on Monday with only a 20% chance that KSC weather will prohibit launch.
Crew will arrive at the SLF at 5 pm today.

This hold will last for 4 hours during which the Blast Danger Area(BDA) will be cleared, the Power Reactant Distribution and Storage(PRSD) system will be prepared for the loading of the cryogenic reactants and the PRSD loading tankers will be placed and connected to the RSS OMBUU lines. Also during this hold, the SRB and Orbiter Pyrotechnic Initiator(PIC) controllers will be tested and checked out.

Nothing new from the L-2 MMT meeting. Everyone polled as GO for launch on Monday. No issues in work with either Atlantis or Endeavour. Right on the schedule.
