MMT Discussing Potential Causes of Issue

The Mission Management Team, which is meeting today at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, is discussing one of the main engine controllers on space shuttle Discovery. The controller showed a one-time, irregular power drop. The issue was isolated to Discovery’s Number 3 engine and all the connectors were attached and retested. After reviewing the issue, the team is discussing possible causes. You can follow developments in the MMT meeting at www.twitter.com/NASA
