At Pad B, closeout work on Shuttle Atlantis continues in preparation for the start of the final countdown. A hot fire test of the recently replaced hydraulic power unit in the right hand aft Solid Rocket Booster is on today’s schedule as well as verification checks of the three Extra-Vehicular Mobility Units on board.
