Technicians at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida are servicing the solid rocket booster hydraulic power units as the space shuttle Discovery stack is readied for launch. Liftoff remains targeted for Nov. 1 at 4:40 p.m. EDT. The remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole passed well offshore from Kennedy and aren’t affecting operations at the center. Discovery’s processing at the pad also was not affected by the storm. At NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, the STS-133 crew will perform a bench review of flight crew equipment.
