T-3 Hold Begins, Tanking Completed

With filling of space shuttle Endeavour’s external fuel tank completed, the Final Inspection Team and Closeout Crew are preparing to enter the launch pad area. At 9:49 p.m. EST, the countdown reached a built-in hold at the T-3 hour mark, and the hold will last for two and a half hours. Weather is currently "green" but there still remains a 40 percent chance of "no go" at the time of liftoff.
