Installation of Atlantis' three main engines is complete. The third and final engine is the improved block II engine and was installed yesterday in the lower left position of the aft compartment. Payload premate testing is complete and preparations are in work for the crew equipment interface test on Saturday.
The orbiter's potable water system is being serviced today along with functional tests of the orbiter's waste system. Today, technicians will check out Atlantis' water spray boilers as well. Main propulsion system leak checks are scheduled to occur this week. Engineers are troubleshooting a mechanical issue with a subcomponent of Atlantis docking mechanism. |
