At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida today, launch countdown preparations ramp up as technicians at Launch Pad 39A continue to ready space shuttle Endeavour for the STS-130 mission.
Teams prepare to close out Endeavour’s aft doors for flight and are expected to be completed by Friday.
There are no issues at this time to impede an on-time liftoff to deliver Tranquility and cupola to the International Space Station.
Meanwhile, at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, the STS-130 crew will be given their L-10 physicals today and they will be reviewing stowage procedures.
Shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to launch on its 13-day mission at 4:39 a.m. EST Feb. 7.
