NOTE: The crew arrived at KSC at 7:30 a.m. today and was taken to Pad 39A to view the Hubble Space Telescope servicing payloads in Discovery's payload bay. The payload bay doors are scheduled to be closed for flight tonight.

During aft close-out operations last night, cycle tests on two aft engine compartment vent doors revealed an intermittent failure of the doors to operate properly. Trouble-shooting of this problem concluded that the power drive unit (PDU) for the vent doors had a bad circuit. Managers this afternoon decided to replace the PDU. The additional work will delay aft close-outs but should not impact launch on Tuesday. The aft doors are now scheduled to be installed Saturday night. The countdown remains on schedule to begin at 4 a.m. tomorrow.
