This is an edited version of NASA's latest STS-114 countdown chart. Note that all times up to and including the start of the final hold at T-minus nine minutes are targeted for the opening of the planar window. The final hold will be extended to result in a launch at the desired "in-plane" time. The first two columns of numbers give "T-minus" time while the next three columns give the actual time to launch (L-minus time) in hours, minutes and seconds. Comments and corrections welcome.
