After an aborted first attempt on August 4, a 22-second flight readiness firing (FRF) of the Space Shuttle Discovery's main engines was conducted on the launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39-B. The first FRF attempt had been halted inside the T--10 second mark because of a sluggish fuel bleed valve on the number 2 main engine. The faulty valve was replaced prior to the FRF (AP, Aug 10/88; UPI, Aug 10/88; NY Times, Aug 11/88; W Post, Aug 11/88; WSJ, Aug 11/88; CSM, Aug 11/88; W Times, Aug 11/88; B Sun, Aug 11/88; P Inq, Aug 11/88)
