Fri, 18 Feb 2011 07:34:10 -0600


NASA managers will meet today at Kennedy Space Center for the STS-133 Flight Readiness Review, known as the FRR. Following the day-long session, managers will set space shuttle Discovery's official launch date. A news conference will be held live on NASA TV following the review. The proceedings inside the FRR will be periodically updated on NASA's twitter feed at www.twitter.com/nasa

At Launch Pad 39A, technicians removed the access arm to space shuttle Discovery's external fuel tank and intertank door area. Installation of the aft flight door is expected late this evening.

At NASA's Johnson Space Center, STS-133 crew is reviewing its flight data file today before flying to the Kennedy on Sunday for final pre-launch preparations.
