The countdown resumed this morning at Kennedy Space Center where space shuttle Discovery is targeting a 12:22 a.m. Friday launch attempt.
Mission managers are scheduled to meet at 2:15 p.m. to review data from last night's propulsion system valve tests and decide whether to "go" for tanking.
If they give the go-ahead, fueling will start around 3 p.m.
The seven astronauts are scheduled to wake up at 1:30 p.m. to begin their launch day preparations.
The weather forecast now calls for an 80 percent chance that weather will be OK for fueling, and a 70 percent chance of favorable conditions for launch.
