Discovery Launch Set May 31
They are on loading fuel as I type. EDT, and the “topping off” of the tank’s propellants will continue until launch time. All systems onboard Discovery are functioning normally. The weather is looking promising for launch day, according to Shuttle Weather Officer Kathy Winters. Isolated coastal showers may be in the area during the morning hours, but a sea breeze will develop in the afternoon, clearing the coast and causing any showers to move inland.
