Processing Note (previous notes) |
 Final preparations for Atlantis’ lift-off to the International Space Station continue in work and the payload bay doors were closed for flight last week. Mission managers continue to monitor several tropical storms though none are expected in the KSC vicinity in the near term and no work is being held up as we proceed on schedule for launch. The orbiter’s windows were inspected on Saturday due to a concern
on studs that on are the protective covers. Inspections are complete and good. Aft closeouts are in work today with door installation scheduled for Thursday. Functional preparations for the Extravehicular Mobility Units are in work with installation scheduled for Wednesday.
