Technicians at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida are installing hardware and making connections on the space shuttle Discovery stack as they prepare the spacecraft for its rollout to Launch Pad 39A on Sept. 20. Workers over the weekend resolved a problem that came up when a bolt fell into the aft compartment of Discovery during connecting operations on Friday. Today's steps include readying Discovery for the shuttle interface test scheduled for tomorrow.
Next door to the VAB, the launch team will run a countdown simulation today in Firing Room 4 in the Launch Control Center.
Discovery's STS-133 astronauts will train in the Neutral Buoyancy Lab today at Johnson Space Center for the mission's first spacewalk.
