Just a short note, a longer one will follow (maybe tomorrow, it’s late over here…). I have just listened to the news teleconference with Mr. Wayne Hale. I am very glad to say that he is determined to fix the ECO sensor issue and sees good chances in doing so. To do that, a tanking test will be conducted next week.
Probably the following quote describes the whole situation “The primary goal is to troubleshoot the system as it is and restore its functionality. We would only consider other measures if we fail with this.“
I hope they will succeed with that and we will have a great space shuttle launch in early January.
