Shuttle processing efforts at the pad continue
toward an April 24 target launch date. Atlantis' onboard storage tanks are being
loaded with hypergolic fuel today and oxidizer loading concluded early this
morning. Technicians are also replacing a leaky quick disconnect on auxiliary
power unit (APU) No. 3. With three new APUs installed during the orbiter's last
maintenance period, all three will be hotfired on April 10.
The STS-101 flight crew arrives at KSC tomorrow
afternoon to participate in the standard Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test.
The orbiter and payload familiarization activities culminate with a launch day
dress rehearsal and crew egress simulation on Friday. NASA managers have
gathered at KSC this week to conduct the STS-101 Flight Readiness Review today
and tomorrow. Managers will discuss Shuttle program and International Space
Station readiness before announcing an official launch date.
