The liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen in space shuttle Atlantis’ external fuel tank now is in the stable replenish mode. There were no new issues and weather is remaining cooperative.
Next up, the Final Inspection Team will arrive at Launch Pad 39A for its top-to-bottom walkdown.
During the fueling process, the main fuel valve on Atlantis’ main engine three recorded temperatures below normal levels. Teams isolated the engine and continued to fuel Atlantis with no issues. Temperatures returned to normal readings. Engineers will evaluate any necessary work on the engine fuel valve following the tanking test.
