Shuttle Processing Note: Pre-launch preparations of Shuttle Atlantis continue to run smoothly at Pad B for the STS-110 mission to the International Space Station on April 4. The S-Zero truss segment and the Canadarm2 Mobile Transporter were installed in the orbiter payload bay yesterday. Today, technicians will install and connect space vehicle ordnance and pressurize the hypergolic fuel systems. Aft closeouts of the orbiter and Solid Rocket Boosters will continue through the weekend. On Saturday, six bolts on the left hand Orbiter Maneuvering System fuel flange will be removed and replaced. Recent test data has indicated that the bolts do not meet the correct specifications. The work will have no impact on the launch schedule.
