Shortly after 11 a.m. today, orbiter Atlantis rolled over to the Vehicle Assembly Building. Later today, Atlantis will be lifted into VAB high bay 3 and then mated to the external tank and solid rocket boosters. Following a successful orbiter/external tank mate, engineers will conduct the standard Shuttle Interface Test.

Processing Note |
Orbiter docking system seal leak checks are complete. Discovery's forward power control assembly No. 1 was replaced over the weekend. Workers also concluded leak and functional tests of the liquid oxygen side of the main propulsion system. Auxiliary power unit leak and functional testing continues. Workers plan to replace one of the orbital maneuvering system thrusters next week following routine OMS pod checks.
