Processing Note (previous notes) |
| At
a meeting this afternoon, mission managers moved Atlantis’
launch date to no earlier than Oct. 2 to accommodate for repairs needed on
the Crawler Transporters. Nominal processing continues with the completion
of heat shield installation and the beginning of closeouts of the orbiter’s
aft compartment.
Engineering evaluation continues on the
cracks found in the bearings located in the JEL (jacking, equalization and
leveling) cylinders on Crawler Transporter No. 2. Technicians have removed
eight of the 16 cylinders to perform visual inspections of all 32 bearings
on the crawler. Twenty-five bearings have been identified as good for
crawler activities. The remaining bearings are scheduled to be
manufactured and delivered by Labor Day weekend, in time to support the
scheduled rollout for an Oct. 2 launch.
