Shuttle Processing Note (previous notes)

Shuttle Columbia remains on schedule for the planned liftoff of the Hubble Servicing Mission at 6:48 a.m. EST on Feb. 28. At Pad A, hypergolic oxidizer loading is in progress and is expected to be completed late tonight. The operation was rescheduled due to the failure of a poppet in a second Fill and Drain Quick Disconnect (QD) during servicing last Friday. The launch team opted to complete hypergolic fueling on Saturday and make the QD repairs before resuming the oxidizer fill. The Auxiliary Propulsion Unit (APU) hot fire is scheduled for tomorrow after the Rotating Service Structure (RSS) is moved to the parked position. The Hubble payload will be transferred to the pad early Wednesday and will be installed onboard Columbia late this week.
