The operation is proceeding uneventfully. The liquid hydrogen tank will enter the "topping" mode at about 12:35 p.m. EDT. It was during the "topping" phase that a leak was encountered during Wednesday's launch attempt. There is a chance for isolated showers developing this afternoon, but they should dissipate before the 7:43 p.m. liftoff of Discovery. The weather forecast continues to be 80 percent "go," with just a slight chance of a low cloud ceiling at the time of launch.</blockquote>
