NASA's Shuttle Program Looks Ahead to Friday's Review Meeting

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 01:41:45 PM CST

NASA's Space Shuttle Program managers will hold a special meeting Feb. 13 to review flow control valve data and determine whether to proceed with the Joint Flight Readiness, or FRR, scheduled for Feb. 18. The official launch date will be announced at the end of the FRR, although for planning purposes, liftoff currently is scheduled for no earlier than Feb. 22.

At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians continue to prepare space shuttle Discovery for its STS-119 mission to the International Space Station. Workers will complete final ordnance installation, which now is planned for Saturday.

Today, the STS-119 crew members are involved with administrative activities at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
