Technicians Prep Coolant Loops for STS-133

Workers at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida are focusing on Freon coolant loops in space shuttle Discovery in preparation for top-off and sampling work that will begin tomorrow. Tomorrow also will see the conclusion of the payload premate test that began last week.

STS-133 Commander Steve Lindsey and his crew are simulating an undocking and flyaround of the International Space Station as part of their training for the upcoming mission, targeted to launch in September.
