The morning news (NBC) made a number of references to Discovery's
being powered up today. They made mention that this was the first
time since 51L that a shuttle's electrical system was totally powered
up. They also said something about some post 51L changes being
tested.
Does anyone have any more specific info? Is Discovery being
powered via external sources or from her fuel cells? What special
testing is being performed?
Thanks

According to this weeks Aviation Week & Space Technology (Aug 3,
1987), page 29:
Shuttle Processing Resumes After 18-month Hiatus
...(paragraphs deleted) The power-up itself will involve operation
of the environmental control unit to keep the systems cool when
power is on. Other systems to be activated are the water loop,
Freon service, line replaceable unit reinstallation and retest and
a smoke test of electrical modifications.
