Final connections between Discovery and fuel tank are underway, interface test scheduled for weekend.
Inside the Vehicle Assembly Building, workers are completing attachment of the shuttle Discovery to its external tank and set of solid rocket boosters.
The final electrical wiring between the orbiter and fuel tank should be finished today, and the standard shuttle interface test will begin later Friday to ensure the stack is properly connected.
Discovery's rollout to launch pad 39A is targeted to begin at 12:01 a.m. EST (0501 GMT) on Tuesday. The three-and-a-half mile journey should end with the shuttle's arrival at the complex around sunrise.
After arriving at the pad, Discovery will receive its payload and be prepared for launch to the International Space Station on April 5 at about 6:27 a.m. EDT (1027 GMT).
