Technicians have completed servicing of Atlantis’
ammonia boiler. Orbiter integrated hydraulic system testing concluded earlier
this week. Work to close-out the orbiter’s payload bay continues and the
payload bay doors are slated for closure on Monday. Shuttle wiring inspections
are nearing completion.
Preparation to roll Atlantis out of the OPF is on
going. On March 10, Shuttle managers at KSC will gather in a standard meeting to
review the orbiter’s readiness for transfer to the Vehicle Assembly Building.
The move is currently planned for March 13.
