Program FRR Concludes

The STS-133 Space Shuttle Program Flight Readiness Review concluded at approximately 3:30 p.m. EDT today. No issues were identified that would delay space shuttle Discovery’s targeted launch on Nov. 1 at 4:40 p.m. EDT. Space Shuttle Program Manager John Shannon polled the team to continue toward Nov. 1 launch target, and the poll was a unanimous "go" to proceed.

NASA managers will meet on Oct. 25 to discuss shuttle and station readiness and officially set the launch date.
