NASA: “Just before midnight the six STS-130 crew members will be climbing into their flight suits, helmets and gloves at Kennedy’s Operations and Checkout Building. The flight suits contain an oxygen supply, communications equipment and a temperature control system that offer protection in the event of an emergency and pressure changes during liftoff. The crew also will be attending a briefing with flight controllers to discuss details on weather conditions at Kennedy’s Shuttle Landing Facility and the transoceanic abort landing, or TAL, sites.”
Keith’s note: Stay up to date with STS-130 on spaceflightnow.com for the best web coverage with Miles O’Brien, David Waters, and Leroy Chiao. Alas, they never link back to us …
