Interesting images of Discovery as she undergoes processing in the OPF for STS-131. Her FRCS(Forward reaction control system) had been removed for repair and is pictured here being re-installed. I think this was about 2 weeks ago.

With Endeavour in orbit with STS-130 its easy to forget that Discovery is well on its way throught processing for STS-131. Launch is due in just over a month on March 18th.
Discovery rolls over from its Orbiter processing facility (OPF) hanger to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) this sunday evening at 22:00 Irish time.

Looking like it could be monday before Discovery rolls over to the VAB. Weather is too cold for rollover at the moment.

Launch date looks likely to slip to March 22nd or possibly into April. A slip into April could impact on STS-132 in May.

It's very likely. There's talk that STS-132 could slip into early June,still too far out to say for sure. At the moment it's looking like STS-131 won't launch until around Easter.
