Shuttle Managers Target May 14 for STS-132 Launch

Space Shuttle Program managers wrapped up their Flight Readiness Review on Wednesday afternoon at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. Teams preparing space shuttle Atlantis for its STS-132 mission are not working any significant issues, and the May 14 target launch date will be recommended at next week’s agency-level review.

Today at NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Pad 39A, technicians are servicing Atlantis’ prelaunch hypergolic propellant systems. In Houston, the astronauts will perform flight training in T-38 jets and take care of administrative duties.
