Just a quick update on the delayed launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis on STS-122.

NASA now believe they’ve isolated the ECO sensor fault to the connectors between the External Tank and the Orbiter. Their intention is to swap the connectors out at the pad and to try for a launch on the 24th of January. They hope to have the new connectors installed by next Thursday but the launch date is still a movable feast depending on how the work goes.
