Please feel free to edit the start post to add quality links. I enjoy reading these preperations, and we can put the links in for watching the launch itself when the time comes.

New Status. Everything is going very well.
Fuel Load Ops Finished
Today, the Boeing propellant team loaded the hydrazine fuel onto the SC. This operation, which took approximately eight hours, is the second half of the propellant load. It marks the completion of the propellant loading phase of SC preps. Kudos to the entire DIRECTV and Boeing teams for an excellent operation! It all went smoothly and according to plan. One engineer remarked that it was "boring", but that is exactly how we want operations here to continue, right up until T-0 on 7 July (local time).
Because the propellant loading is a hazardous operation, the building was cleared and the rest of the non-essential personnel spent the day relaxing, traveling into town to shop and eat shashlik (a very tasty Russian ka-bob). It was also a great chance to call our dads to wish them a happy Father's Day.
We will continue with some post-fueling testing of the SC, flight closeouts of all thermal blankets and removal of some Remove Before Flight (RBF) items over the next several days. Joint operations commence on Friday, 22 June.
