MMT Meets Today for Prelaunch Check

The Mission Management Team is meeting today at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center this morning to discuss space shuttle Endeavour’s readiness for its launch on Friday. The MMT will conduct a prelaunch news conference this morning at 11 a.m. which will be aired on NASA TV (www.nasa.gov/ntv).

Technicians at Kennedy’s Launch Pad 39A will fill Endeavour’s three power-producing fuel cells with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen today.

Also, engineers will evaluate data following a storm which passed over Kennedy late yesterday afternoon. Preliminary results indicate there was no damage and there were no recorded lightning strikes within a half mile of the pad.

STS-134 Commander Mark Kelly and Pilot Greg H. Johnson conducted an unsuited training flight in the Shuttle Training Aircraft today.
