[i]...ISS hardware associated with Node 3 is suffering from issues during proof testing on the ground. "It looks like we are just not catching a break. Today while proof testing one of the new flight unit ammonia lines there was another rupture," noted a memo from ISS Flight Director (STS-130 Orbit 2 FD) Robert Dempsey late on Thursday night acquired by [NASASpaceflight]... "Due to the history, options could be a full redesign, a tweak, a new vendor -- which would mean a slip to the nominal mission timeline. As you might expect, [ISS Program Manager Mike] Suffredini wants us to assess the impact to performing a modified mission where we just install the Node 3 and hook up the LTA (Launch To Activation) cables. "We will also consider swapping the order of the missions." Strategy meetings will take place throughout Friday with the ultimate aim to have options on the table by next Tuesday.[/i]
