Tomorrow's FRR To Determine if Shuttle Discovery is Ready to Fly
NASA will conduct a Flight Readiness Review (FRR) tomorrow, August 18, to determine if the space shuttle Discovery is ready for its STS-128 mission. NASA is continuing to assess whether it is satisifed that the foam loss issues that affected the previous shuttle launch are sufficiently well understood and will not recur. Launch is currently scheduled for August 24 at 1:58 a.m. EDT. The mission will resupply the International Space Station (ISS) and drop off astronaut Nicole Stott who will replace astronaut Tim Kopra.
To see who is aboard the ISS now and who is on the STS-128 crew, visit NASA’s spaceflight website.
