RSS Rollback On Time as MMT Continues Session

The Rotating Service Structure will be moved back from space shuttle Discovery this evening as the Mission Management Team continues its discussions about a main engine controller on the shuttle. The RSS is an enclosed gantry that protects the shuttle while it’s on the launch pad. The MMT has returned from a break and is discussing the controller. 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.
