APU Tests Today for Discovery

Space shuttle Discovery's auxiliary power units will be the focus of technicians at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida today as they perform leak and functional tests on the devices. Workers are also verifying the spacecraft's airlock subsystem today and will continue that effort through Friday.

At NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, the astronauts' extensive training picks up with a long-duration Flight Day 3 rendezvous and docking simulation today.
