Retrieval Ships Ready

NASA’s Freedom Star and Liberty Star booster recovery ships are in position. Both currently are stationed about 160 miles off the Florida coast.

The ships are waiting to tow the solid rocket boosters back to Kennedy Space Center after their descent into the ocean.

The countdown remains on track for a 4:14 a.m. EST liftoff and the forecast still calls for a 60 percent favorable outlook for launch with no technical issues being reported.
