Three teams formed to work on this plan: Team 1 will look at troubleshooting plan and ensure coordinated with all engineering communities. Team 2 will look at path to fly as is. Team 3 will determine what it will take to repair this valve. <\/p>\n \u2018Will have data and a recommendation by Monday.\u2019<\/p>\n Engineers are currently at the pad checking the electrical connections for a better understanding on the problem.<\/p>\n \u2018If the determination is that it is the vehicle wiring, then an alternate power path will be provided to the valve. This will verify that the valve functions nominally and that an alternate power path may be a feasible alternative. Further discussion will be required to determine technical direction \u2018<\/p>\n UPDATE: During continuity checks at the pad, engineers found that the problem does indeed relate to wiring, which will be repaired this weekend. Following this process, the valve should work properly, when the vehicle is next powered up.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Flight Director Holly Ridings noted that the launch date for STS-122 is now back on track for December 6.<\/p>\n \u2018With the extra work our crew has done on orbit and a tremendous amount of effort by the team on the ground, I am proud to tell you we have anominal plan for a 1E launch on 12\/6,\u2019 noted Ridings to her team.<\/p>\n \u2018This was accomplished without any major reduction in content; simply smart and proactive management of the activities by the entire E16 team and the incredible efficiency of our crew.\u2019 **STARLIGHT: NEW STS-117 MISSION REVIEW MUSIC VIDEO** \u2013 STS-118 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> -.

\nThe issue was noted during pre-launch processing on Atlantis, as she moves closer to her December launch on STS-122.<\/p>\n
\n\u2018Picked up an IPR (Interim Problem Report) on FRCS oxidizer gaseous helium isolation B valve, which isn\u2019t closing when commanded to do so. <\/p>\n
