Endeavour Preps Continue for STS-130 Mission

Technicians on Launch Pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida will begin prelaunch propellant servicing on space shuttle Endeavour today, which will continue through Thursday.

Meanwhile at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Endeavour’s six STS-130 astronauts continue their review of flight equipment and rendezvous procedures.

Teams continue to work toward a target launch of Feb. 7, as engineers review data from the test of a high-pressure ammonia jumper hose assembly that failed during a prelaunch test last week. The analysis is expected to continue for several days and the results will determine if there will be any impact to the shuttle mission.
