Leak checks are wrapping up today on space shuttle Discovery's crew module as work continues to prepare the spacecraft for its targeted launch on Nov. 1. Technicians also are working on the shuttle's S-band communications antenna today.
Workers finished electrical checks of the shuttle's robotic arm and orbiter boom sensor system yesterday. The boom is used to inspect the shuttle's heat shield once in space. They also finished inspections of the shuttle's radiator retract hoses.
