Processing Note (previous notes) |
After being stacked with its Solid Rocket Boosters and External Tank, Atlantis began its roll out to Pad 39B this morning at 2:27 a.m. in preparation for launch to the International Space Station. The Shuttle arrived at the Pad and was hard down at 9:38 a.m. After technicians noted a concern in the mid-body regarding movement of the Manipulator Positioning Mechanism that is attached to the Remote Manipulator System in the payload bay, engineers determined that additional work can be performed while the vehicle is at the pad.
Crawler Transporter No. 2 retests with the Mobile Launcher Platform were successfully completed after technicians replaced bearings located in the JEL (jacking, equalization and leveling) cylinders. The repaired cylinders on the crawler performed flawlessly during Atlantis’ roll to the Pad.
