Tiles Around the Hatch Focus of Work

Mon, 28 Jun 2010 07:31:18 -0500

At NASA Kennedy Space Center's Orbiter Processing Facility-3, shuttle Discovery's side hatch will be closed today so crews can install tiles. Technicians will continue testing the Power Reactant Storage Distribution system, which feeds the fuel cells that generate electricity on the shuttle.

Discovery's main engine re-installation is scheduled to begin Tuesday.

At NASA's Johnson Space Center, the STS-133 astronauts will practice emergency simulations.
