1120a 11/14 Update: Shuttle fueling begins; weather 70 percent 'go'
=================================
CBS NEWS STS-126 STATUS REPORT: 10
Posted: 11:20 AM, 11/14/08
By William Harwood
CBS News Space Analyst
Changes and additions:
SR-08 (11/13/08): Countdown on track; weather improves to 70 percent 'go' for Friday launch
SR-09 (11/13/08): STS-126 mission preview
SR-10 (11/14/08): Shuttle fueling begins; updated launch time
=================================
11:20 AM, 11/14/08, Update: Shuttle fueling begins; updated launch time; weather 70 percent 'go'
Working by remote control, engineers began pumping a half-million gallons of super-cold liquid oxygen and hydrogen rocket fuel into the shuttle Endeavour's external tank today at 10:40 a.m., setting the stage for launch this evening on a space station assembly mission. The three-hour fueling procedure began about 10 minutes late because of time needed to complete fuel cell calibrations.
Based on updated tracking of the space station, Endeavour's in-plane launch time has moved five seconds later to 7:55:39 p.m. EST. There are no technical problems of any significance at pad 39A and forecasters are continuing to predict a 70 percent chance of acceptable weather.
The primary concerns are possible thick clouds over the pad and isolated showers within 20 nautical miles of the shuttle's emergency runway in advance of a cold front expected to move through central Florida Saturday afternoon. The forecast for Saturday is 70 percent no-go, improving to 80 percent favorable on Sunday.
Endeavour's seven-member crew - commander Chris Ferguson, pilot Eric Boe, Don Pettit, space station flight engineer Sandra Magnus and spacewalkers Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, Stephen Bowen and Robert "Shane" Kimbrough - will suit up and head for the launch pad to strap in at 4:05 p.m.
The goals of the year's fourth and final shuttle mission are to deliver a spare coolant system component; two water recycling racks designed to convert urine into potable water; a second toilet; a refrigerator/freezer; and two sleep stations. The equipment is needed to expand the station's crew from three to six next year.
In addition, Stefanyshyn-Piper, Bowen and Kimbrough plan to carry out four spacewalks to clean and lubricate a 10-foot-wide drive gear on the right side of the station's main power truss that has experienced high friction and extensive degradation to one of three bearing races. The spacewalks also plan to replace 11 of the drive gear's 12 bearing assemblies and to lubricate the right-side rotary joint as a precaution.
Finally, Magnus will join Expedition 18 commander Mike Fincke and flight engineer Yury Lonchakov. Flight engineer Gregory Chamitoff, launched to the lab complex last June, will return to Earth aboard the shuttle in Magnus' place.
