Processing Note (previous notes) |
| After Atlantis’ roll out to Pad 39B earlier this week, final preparations for a lift-off to the International Space Station are in work. A block was installed in the payload bay on the Manipulator Positioning Mechanism that is attached to the Remote Manipulator System, however, a gap was still noted by technicians. Engineers are reviewing the data to determine if additional work is required prior to payload installation. In the Payload Control Room, pressure was lost on one of the dock cells. Most likely a relay to the power supply failed and consequently pressure was lost to the seals. The relay was replaced and pressure has been restored. Further inspections will be performed prior to payload installation. Platforms are scheduled for configuration tonight in preparation for payload installation.
