IPR was generated on Centering Alignment System (CAS). IPR was generated because the technicians were unable to install the FWD shim alignment bolts.\u2019 <\/font><\/p>\n Atlantis herself is in final preparations for her rollover to the VAB, which includes closeouts and the readiness of retracting the platforms that surround the orbiter in OPF-2 (Orbiter Processing Facility). An Orbiter Rollout Review will be held February 2nd. <\/font><\/p>\n \u2018Final roll preparations, are in work with LO2 and LH2 purge flex hoses and continues with bay-6 platform and mid-deck blow-down preps,\u2019 added the Ops report.<\/font><\/p>\n Only minor issues have been noted during these preparations, as would be expected with such a complex vehicle. <\/p>\n \u2018During the installation of the vendor wire harness identified by this IPR, a bent pin on the cabin fan assembly delta pressure sensor was discovered. Due to the severity of the bent pin and the availability of a spare sensor it was decided to R&R (Remove and Replace) the part. Will remove the damaged sensor and replace it with a spare sensor. <\/font><\/p>\n \u2018Due to this, the vehicle was not powered up yesterday but is scheduled for power up this morning (Tuesday). Retest will follow after power up.\u2019 <\/font><\/p>\n \u2018Have installed all three engines, and will perform leak check this week,\u2019 noted the Stand-up, followed by expanded notes on the Ops report: \u2018SSME Low Pressure Fuel Turbo Pump (LPFTP) torque checks were completed last night. SSME installations are complete\/good. Engine securing continues.\u2019 <\/p>\n The next event for Endeavour \u2013 ahead of STS-118 this summer \u2013 will be the installation of her right hand OMS Pod, which is scheduled for Thursday. <\/font><\/p>\n \u2018Right hand OMS pod installation preparations are in work. The pod (RPO4) is scheduled to be delivered to the hi-bay at noon today (Tuesday),\u2019 added the Ops report. \u2018Installation of the lifting fixture is scheduled for Thursday, and installation into the vehicle is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday next week.\u2019<\/font><\/p>\n While Discovery isn\u2019t set to launch for year, post flight processing is proceeding well, with the opposite operations seen on Endeavour being carried out on her older sister, post STS-116. <\/font><\/p>\n <\/font><\/p>\n \u2018Had good weekend. Did waterproofing shoot this weekend. Are 64 percent complete on roll-in inspection,\u2019 reported Hale\u2019s notes on the Stand-up report. \u2018Right Hand OMS Pod must be removed. Will probably transfer this first week in February.\u2019<\/p>\n Other actions include the removal of Discovery\u2019s Remote Manipulator System (Robotic Arm \u2013 RMS) and SSME dome heat shield removal.<\/p>\n \u2018Engines 1, 2, and 3 dome heat shield removal preparations continue; the davit crane was positioned last night. APS pod functional checkout is in work. Flight cap installations are complete less cleanup,\u2019 added January 23\u2019s Ops report.<\/p>\n \u2018RMS removal. The lid was removed from the box to support RMS removal from the Orbiter yesterday. Removal is scheduled for today, and transport to the lab is scheduled for Wednesday. Station to Shuttle Power Transfer System (SSPTS) structural and electrical modifications continue.\u2019<\/p>\n <\/font><\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n **INFINITY: 10 minute STS MUSIC VIDEO**<\/font><\/em><\/font> \u2013 **NASASpaceflight.com Job Opportunities**<\/em><\/font> <\/font><\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shuttle orbiters Atlantis and Endeavour have passed key processing milestones, as NASA push towards carrying out the next four missions with the two vehicles.
