At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians at Launch Pad 39A completed performing additional tests on space shuttle Discovery’s right reaction control system helium regulators this past weekend. Preliminary data shows that thus far the regulators are functioning within specifications. Engineers will evaluate the data and discuss options Tuesday morning. Today’s launch preparation work at the pad will include closeout of the shuttle’s aft compartment.
Today at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, the STS-131 astronauts will review stowage and transfer activities for the items that will be transported on Discovery during the flight to the International Space Station.
