Discovery Passing Processing System Tests

Space shuttle Discovery is moving along through its processing schedule for the launch of STS-133 targeted for Nov. 1. Technicians at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida performed successful tests recently on the Orbital Maneuvering System flight control and main computer system, as well as the landing gear. Today’s work includes the brakes and anti-skid on the shuttle’s landing gear. The crew of STS-133 is on summer vacation this week.
