MISSION: STS-105  - POST-LANDING STATUS 
VEHICLE: Discovery/OV-103
LOCATION: Orbiter Processing Facility bay 2
KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME: Aug. 10, 2001 at 5:10:14 p.m. EDT
TARGET KSC LANDING DATE/TIME: Aug. 22, 2001 at 2:23 p.m.
MISSION DURATION: 11 days, 21 hours and 13 minutes  
CREW: Horowitz, Sturckow, Barry, Forrester; (ISS up) Culbertson, Dezhurov,
Tyurin; (ISS down) Usachev, Voss, Helms, 
ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE and INCLINATION: 122 nautical miles/51.6
degrees

Shuttle Processing Note: Space Shuttle Discovery touched down on KSC
runway 15 yesterday at 2:23 p.m. after passing on the day's first
opportunity because of unacceptable weather conditions.  The landing
concluded a 5-month mission for the three Expedition Two crew members. The
STS-105 and Expedition Two crew members will depart for Houston at about
 2:30 p.m. today. 

Discovery was towed to OPF bay 2 last night to undergo routine post-flight
 deservicing.  Preliminary inspections revealed 106 total debris hit to the
orbiter's lower surface, of which 15 measured 1-inch or greater. The
orbiter's tires are reported to be in good condition. Discovery is being
jacked and leveled and main engine drying follows later today. Draining of
the orbiter's power reactant storage and distribution system begins later
this week.
