Wed, 27 Apr 2011 07:43:24 -0500

The Mission Management Team is meeting today at NASA's Kennedy Space Center this morning to discuss space shuttle Endeavour's readiness for its launch on Friday. The MMT will conduct a prelaunch news conference this morning at 11 a.m. which will be aired on NASA TV (above).

Technicians at Kennedy's Launch Pad 39A will fill Endeavour's three power-producing fuel cells with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen today.

Also, engineers will evaluate data following a storm which passed over Kennedy late yesterday afternoon. Preliminary results indicate there was no damage and there were no recorded lightning strikes within a half mile of the pad.

STS-134 Commander Mark Kelly and Pilot Greg H. Johnson conducted an unsuited training flight in the Shuttle Training Aircraft today.
