Post-shipment inspection of the Space Support Equipment (SSE)
at KSC did not reveal any anomalies for the flight hardware.
The Flight Support System (FSS) shipping container left KSC
and arrived at GSFC.
Multi-Use Lightweight Equipment (MULE) carrier Electrical
Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) certification was successfully
completed at KSC.
SSE mechanical integration activities have started. The SAC
keel has been installed, RAC keel lockout plates were removed
and structural bolts installed, and the Large Orbital Replacement
Unit (ORU) Protective Enclosure (LOPE) and Small OPE (SOPE)
simulators were installed on the MULE.
Characterization tests of the FSS Pivoter were run. The FSS
Pivoter and BAPS offload device were reintegrated onto the
FSS, which is in the Space Environmental Simulation (SES)
chamber.
The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) was shipped back to
Ball, to perform the final Refractive Aberrated Simulator/Hubble
Opto-Mechanics Simulator (RAS/HOMS) alignment verification.
