Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test activities
concluded today at about 11 a.m. A planned Y2K end-to-end test was conducted in
parallel with TCDT activities and concludes later today. The test will confirm
that all ground, flight and vehicle systems performed as expected. The
six-member flight crew departs KSC at about 2:35 p.m. today headed for Ellington
Field in Houston, TX.
At the launch pad, workers are preparing for Saturday's prelaunch fuel loading
operations. Endeavour's aft compartment close-outs began yesterday and will
proceed into next week. Endeavour's payload bay doors will be opened Monday to
accommodate cable rerouting for an onboard orbiter camera. Also, spacesuit
checks are scheduled early next week.
