Mission Milestones
February 2, 1999
NASA managers have decided to proceed with the shipment of Chandra from prime contractor TRW Space and Electronics Group, Redondo Beach, CA to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, on Thursday, Feb. 4, 1999. The decision followed extensive testing and a thorough independent review of the potential problem with several printed circuit boards which revealed the need to replace two circuit boards in the interface unit, a part of the command and data management system. After the circuit boards are rebuilt by B.F. Goodrich Aerospace, Davis Systems Division in Albuquerque, NM, the unit will be reinstalled in the observatory at the Kennedy Space Center.
