3:39 p.m. - The T-9 minute hold has been extended for resolution of 
weather and range constraints.

3:34 p.m. - Launch Director Mike Leinbach has completed his final poll 
for launch. The team is go with the exception of Houston Flight and 
Range Weather which are still no-go based on the anvil rule. Mike 
Leinbach says we will use up the launch window and remain in the T-9 
minute hold and use the extra five minutes on the chance the weather 
will clear for launch.

3:27 p.m. - Weather is still no-go for launch. Part of the concern is 
for overcast conditions above the abort landing site at Kennedy.

3:20 p.m. - Based on the weather briefing he received, Launch Director 
Mike Leinbach says "it's going to be close but we're going to give it a 
shot," as the team presses on for launch.
