| Engineers
have completed work to replace the “fixer” alignment component
on Atlantis’ docking mechanism. Additional work is required to
repair the heads-up display (HUD) unit in the crew module. The HUD
provides visual alignment cues to Shuttle commanders and pilots
during approach and landing. To accommodate the unplanned HUD
work, Atlantis will now roll to the VAB Sunday, May 20 instead of
May 16. |
