Space Shuttle Program managers are meeting today and tomorrow at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston for a Flight Readiness Review, or FRR, for space shuttle Atlantis’ upcoming STS-132 mission. The agency-level FRR is scheduled for May 5. During the 12-day mission, Atlantis and six astronauts will deliver an Integrated Cargo Carrier and a Russian-built Mini Research Module to the International Space Station.

Today in Houston, the STS-132 flight crew is taking part in an integrated ascent simulation.

Liftoff is targeted for May 14 at 2:20 p.m. EDT from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
