Discovery Processing still on track

NASA’s launch preparations are still on track. There are no negative news and the astronauts will fly into Kennedy Space Center tomorrow (on Friday). From the public weather services, it also looks like Titusville and Cocoa Beach weather is improving starting this weekend, so chances for a great launch are good. There is currently no contingency (buffer time) left, but the great NASA workforce is keeping on track with the launch schedule. The countdown start for Discovery’s STS-120 mission is scheduled for Saturday, 20th October. If all goes well, it culminates in a launch on Tuesday, 23rd October.
