GUCP Leak Checks Scheduled Today

Technicians at NASA Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39A will perform leak checks on space shuttle Discovery's ground umbilical carrier plate, or GUCP, today. A gaseous hydrogen leak at the GUCP scrubbed Discovery's first launch attempt on Nov. 5, 2010.

Discovery is targeted to launch on its STS-133 mission to the International Space Station on Feb. 24, 2011.
