Technicians at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida successfully completed all pressure and leak tests on space shuttle Endeavour this past weekend.
Endeavour’s side hatch will be closed for Saturday’s move from its hangar in Orbiter Processing Facility-2 to the Vehicle Assembly Building. Also, the shuttle’s final tire pressurization for flight is set for today.
Meanwhile, the STS-130 astronauts will practice techniques for the mission’s first spacewalk in the neutral buoyancy lab near NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
