 Huntsville AL (SPX) Jan 04, 2008
 Space shuttle managers will meet Thursday to evaluate test results to date from analysis of the electrical connector suspected of causing issues in space shuttle Atlantis' fuel sensor system. The managers will also discuss plans to prepare the tank and Atlantis for launch.

The sensor system in Atlantis' external tank prompted two postponements during launch attempts last month for the STS-122 mission to the International Space Station.

Technicians at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida removed the suspect electrical connector from space shuttle Atlantis' external tank early Sunday and shipped it to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., for testing.

A replacement connector is being modified, and approval for its installation will be discussed at tomorrow's meeting. If approval is received, the installation will take place over the next few days.
