NOTE: This is an orbiter processing report and does not necessarily reflect the 
chronological order of upcoming Space Shuttle flights. Visit

Page for the latest schedule of future Shuttle missions.  

MISSION: STS-109 - HST Servicing  Mission 3B

VEHICLE: Columbia/OV-102
TARGET KSC LAUNCH DATE: Feb. 28, 2002 at 6:48 a.m.
TARGET KSC LANDING DATE:  March 11, 2002 at 3:33 a.m.
MISSION DURATION: 11 days 
CREW: Altman, Carey, Grunsfeld, Currie, Newman, Linnehan, Massimino 
ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE and INCLINATION: 308 nautical miles/28.5 degrees 

Shuttle Processing Note: Servicing of the hypergolic oxidizer propellants on 
board Shuttle Columbia was interrupted at Pad A early today due to the failure 
of a poppet in the Fill and Drain Quick Disconnect (QD) located near the 
right-hand Orbiter Maneuvering System (OMS) pod. The poppet is an insert that 
opens and closes the QD. The poppet is being replaced and status of the QD is 
being assessed. Pending the assessment, Shuttle managers plan to resume 
oxidizer servicing later today and complete fuel loading on Friday. The Auxiliary 
Power Unit (APU) hot fire is scheduled for Saturday, and the Hubble payload will 
be delivered to the pad early next week. The QD problem is not expected to 
impact Columbia's planned Feb. 28 launch date.

MISSION: STS-110  - 13th ISS Flight (8A) - ITS SO TRUSS AND MOBILE

ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE and INCLINATION: 122 nautical miles/51.6 degrees

Shuttle Processing Note: Shuttle Atlantis is undergoing pre-launch operations in 
the Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF). The right-hand OMS pod has been removed, and the status of the 14 bolt holes in attach point No. 5 is being 
assessed. Repairs will be made as necessary. Integrated hydraulic/flight control 
checkout is in work and preparations are under way to install the heat shield.
