| Testing of Space Shuttle
Discovery's auxiliary power units is complete. Launch pad validations continue as scheduled.
Today, technicians are replacing transducer seals on the orbiter's left-hand maneuvering engine.
Workers will replace a fuel line quick disconnect on auxiliary power unit No. 2 Thursday. The
Rotating Service Structure begins moving around the Shuttle on Thursday at about 9 a.m. The flight crew arrived at KSC last night to participate in routine Terminal
Countdown Demonstration Test activities through Friday morning. The Test culminates with a full
dress rehearsal and a simulated emergency egress from the Discovery's crew module at Pad 39A. The
crew plans to depart KSC for Houston, TX at 2 p.m. on Friday.
The Zenith-1 (Z-1) Truss arrived at the launch pad early this
morning, and today workers are transferring it to the Payload Changeout Room. The payload will be
installed into the orbiter Tuesday, Sept. 19.
