From Ted Molczan and the world famous Seesat-L newsgroup:
Lift-off is scheduled for 2006 Jul 02 at 19:26:06 UTC. Spaceflight Now reports that the weather forecast is for only a 30 percent probability of GO for launch:
http://www.spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts121/status.html NASA's estimated elements are available at the following URL. They take into account all planned manoeuvres, and are revised throughout the mission, as required.

For quick reference, I have extracted the elsets from MECO through docking.

NOTE: NASA's MECO 2-line elset is erroneous; so I generated the above by
converting NASA's True of Day Rotating (TDR) [aka Earth-Fixed Greenwich (EFG)] Cartesian state vector to SGP4, using Ken Ernandes' VEC2TLE program, and added realistic decay terms for the brief duration of existence of the orbit. Our web site has a link to Ken's program:
