NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center, Fla., is open for regular operations following a water main break that caused the center to be closed to non-essential personnel Wednesday morning. <\/p>\n
Crews have isolated the break in a 24-inch pipe located at the LC-39 Complex turn basin near the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB). They\u2019re also assessing Kennedy\u2019s water system to confirm there aren\u2019t any other potential problems. Water has been restored to the center, except for an administrative building across from the VAB and Kennedy\u2019s Press Site. <\/p>\n
Shuttle Discovery\u2019s move, known as rollover, from its hangar, Orbiter Processing Facility-3, to the VAB now is targeted for Thursday morning (Sept. 9), weather permitting. Rollover had been scheduled for Wednesday morning.
