Atlantis will also bring home Daniel Tani, who swapped places on the station with Leopold Eyharts. <\/p>\n Flight Day 12 began with the Group B powerup and maneuver to the undock attitude. Once in the undock attitude, the orbiter will undock and perform a one revolution flyaround before executing the separation burns. <\/p>\n The sep burns are followed by a simo dump, before Late Inspections \u2013 required to give the orbiter one final check of her Thermal Protection System (TPS) via the Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS) for clearance to re-enter. <\/p>\n Should any major problems be found, Atlantis will still be close enough to return to the station. Once the TPS is cleared, Endeavour will be officially stood down from her LON (Launch On Need) requirement.<\/p>\n <\/font><\/p>\n No issues are being worked on Atlantis, with only the FRCS (Forward Reaction Control System) Ox Press Line, which was \u2018trending low\u2019, worked recently. The issue was with one of the associated heaters, which has since been placed on the b-string, despite the data showing the tending was minimal.<\/p>\n Other issues are classed as minor, and not a problem for Atlantis\u2019 preparations for re-entry.<\/p>\n \u2018Small Leak at CWC Fill Mineral\/Silver Biocide Injection Port \u2013 Similar issue seen on last OV-104 flight <\/b>(STS-117<\/b>),\u2019 added L2 information on Monday. <\/p>\n \u2018N2 Flow meter transducer erratic reading. After completion of N2 repress, the N2 flow meter had four different erratic OSH spikes and the sensor is now stable. Four venier thrusters suffered a circuit failure, though they are not required for deorbit or entry.<\/p>\n STS-122 has easily been the been the most issue free and clean flight so far since Return To Flight.<\/p>\n This was backed up by comments from Deputy MMT (Mission Management Team) chair Leroy Cain, who praised the workforce for their roles in both the mission on orbit and STS-123\u2019s preparations on the ground.<\/p>\n \u2018The performance of the orbiter and the station has been outstanding. Great tribute to this awesome workforce for an on-orbit crew and rolling out at the same time,\u2019 noted the former Flight Controller. <\/p>\n \u2018Great time to be in this business, never seen people this excited or energized about the program.\u2019<\/p>\n STS-123: Rollout:<\/p>\n Endeavour started to roll out of the VAB slightly earlier than the scheduled 00:01 timeline, moving out into the dark of the KSC crawlerway at 11:26pm, en-route to Pad 39A. She arrived around six hours later.<\/p>\n STS-123 is tasked with carrying the first module of the Japanese laboratory, Japanese Experiment Module (Kibo), and the Canadian Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator, (SPDM) Dextre robotics system to the ISS \u2013 a payload that has already been taken to the pad.<\/p>\n \u2018The Payload was successfully transported to Pad A on Friday. The Payload was installed into the PCR over the weekend, and the payload canister was transferred back to the SSPF,\u2019 noted processing information on Monday.<\/p>\n \u2018S0008 Shuttle Interface Test and V1149 T-0 Umbilicals and Orbiter\/ET Interface leak checks were successfully completed over the weekend. VAB platform retractions were completed on Sunday morning to support roll out.\u2019<\/p>\n Endeavour will have two launch attempts, on the 11th and 12th of March, before standing down as the Eastern Range reverts to a March 15 launch of a Delta II from next door\u2019s Cape Canaveral. The deal was struck on Saturday, standing down evaluations on trying to launch on March 9, due to conflict with the ULA launch.<\/p>\n The USAF was also involved, following an approved request for the Thunderbirds to carry out a flyover of KSC during rollout, in order to gain a photo with the vehicle rolling out in the background. This was carried out at 10:15am local.<\/p>\n <\/font><\/font>Click here for MaxQ\u2019s Stunning Apollo I\/Challenger\/Columbia Tribute Video \u2018New Days Will Rise\u2019.<\/em><\/font><\/p>\n **STARLIGHT: NEW STS-117 MISSION REVIEW MUSIC VIDEO**<\/font><\/em> \u2013 STS-118 and STS-120 Mission review video also available.<\/font><\/em><\/font> <\/em><\/font><\/p>\n **ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE: STS-117 MISSION REVIEW MUSIC VIDEO \u2013 AS SEEN BY THE STS-117 CREW!!**<\/font> -.
