At Launch Pad 39A, workers have completed Shuttle
ordnance installation and Endeavour's onboard propellant storage tanks are
pressurized for flight. Aft compartment close-outs continue through tomorrow
afternoon. This morning, the orbiter's payload bay doors were opened to
accommodate camera assembly replacement efforts on the forward and aft
bulkheads. The four newly installed cameras will be retested tomorrow and the
payload bay doors will be closed for flight. With temperatures expected to dip
below 40 degrees F this week, Endeavour's reaction control system heaters will
remain powered. This is standard cold weather configuration.
