Shuttle Discovery Launch Now No Earlier Than Feb. 19

Space Shuttle

During a review of space shuttle Discovery's readiness for flight, NASA managers decided Tuesday to plan a launch no earlier than Feb. 19. The new planning date is pending additional analysis and particle impact testing associated with a flow control valve in the shuttle's main engines.

Discovery's STS-119 mission to the International Space Station originally had been targeted for Feb. 12.

The valve is one of three that channels gaseous hydrogen from the engines to the external fuel tank. One of these valves in shuttle Endeavour was found to be damaged after its mission in November. As a precaution, Discovery's valves were removed, inspected and reinstalled.

Crew Inspects Spacesuits, Prepares Progress for Undocking

ISS Status Report

In preparation for the four spacewalks scheduled for the upcoming STS-119 mission, Expedition 18 Commander Mike Fincke worked on batteries and cooling systems for U.S. spacesuits Wednesday. During STS-119, shuttle astronauts will install the final pair of solar arrays that will bring the station up to full power.

Shuttle mission managers met Tuesday at Kennedy Space Center for a formal review of the launch of space shuttle Discovery on the STS-119 mission to the station, and set the launch date to no earlier than Feb. 19 at the conclusion of the Flight Readiness Review.

Russian flight controllers purged the remaining fuel from the ISS Progress 31 cargo ship tanks Wednesday in preparation for its undocking Thursday. Loaded with trash and other discarded items, the spacecraft will burn up during re-entry over the Pacific Ocean. Fincke and Flight Engineer Yury Lonchakov also reinstalled the Progress docking mechanism.

Pilton Bluecoat Junior School, Barnstaple, UK, Friday (Feb 06) at 14:52 UTC

ARISS

An International Space Station Expedition 18 ARISS school contact has been planned with participants at the Pilton Bluecoat Junior School, Barnstaple, UK on 06 February. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 1452 UTC.

The contact will be a direct between stations OR4ISS and G0NPV. The contact should be audible over most of Europe. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The participants are expected to conduct the conversation in English.

Pilton Bluecoat school has 260 pupils aged between 7 to 11 years old. We are situated in the town of Barnstaple which has a population of 34,000. Barnstaple is close to the surfing beaches of North Devon and is a popular tourist destination. Our children come from a range of social backgrounds, mostly from the immediate area close to the school. We pride ourselves on the vibrancy of our curriculum and we are always seeking ways to make activities interesting, relevant, practical and enjoyable. This is reflected in the way we present our school environment, where we work hard to ensure it is well organized, stimulating and a place where children can grow as young citizens. We encourage the children to pursue their own ideas and we celebrate individual creativity.
