Article based on full launch processing flow charts from NASA and the United Space Alliance, April 27. Held back on L2 pending PRCB info on relevant impact on the ETs.

ET-118 schedule. This has been on L2 a lot longer, along with further flow information and ET-123 information...but still dated April, and part of this article, thus moving it here.

I just wanted to make the things that the article is mentioning:
RJD - RCS Jet Driver, the avionics box that controls the RCS jets
Windows 6, 7 and 11 - 6 is the PLT's right-most window, 7 being the right overhead window and 11 is the small circurlar window on the side hatch.

For Atlantis the windows mentioned is 2, 4 and 5. 2 is the CDR's forward left window, 4 being the PLT's forward window and 5 is the PLT's forward right window.

Atlantis' engine replacement is pretty normal, yes?

Chris, are they replacing Atlantis's main engine for the same reason they replaced Discovery's last week?

You know, someone did say, but my minds gone blank (I've gone blind from looking over pages of ET info ;) ) - let me ask and I'll get back to you.

Someone's going to know before I find out I reckon, so post an answer if you know.
