Processing Note (previous notes) |
Final preparations for Atlantis’ lift-off to the International Space Station continue in work. Last week a block was installed in the payload bay on the Manipulator Positioning Mechanism, which is attached to the Remote Manipulator System, due to a small gap. After the block was installed and final adjustments were made to the driveline linkage, the gap was eliminated.
Preparations are also in work for payload installation, the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test and Helium Leak checks on the Main Propellant System, which are all scheduled for this week. Preparations are also in work for propellant loading later in the week. Tomorrow, mission managers will met at KSC for the Flight Readiness Review.
