Orbiter
Atlantis’ payload bay doors are closed and the “strong back” support
equipment has been removed in preparation for OPF roll out. Tomorrow, orbiter pressure
testing begins, and weight and center of gravity tests follow on Thursday. Atlantis is
scheduled to move from OPF bay 3 to the Vehicle Assembly Building next Monday morning. The
orbiter will be mated to the external tank and solid rocket boosters in VAB high bay 1 and
then transferred to high bay 2 to complete a final fit check of the recently completed
safe haven modification. Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to roll out to Launch Pad 39B on
Aug. 14.
