Precourt is in KSC's Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 2 for the STS-91 Crew Equipment Interface Test, or CEIT, during which the crew have an opportunity to get a hands-on look at the payloads with which they will be working on-orbit. The STS-91 crew are scheduled to launch aboard the Shuttle Discovery from KSC's Launch Pad 39A on May 28 at 8:05 EDT
