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

Shuttle Processing Note: Shuttle Endeavour passed a major processing milestone 
today when it rolled out from its bay to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) for 
space vehicle mate. Endeavour rolled out from the Orbiter Processing Facility 
(OPF) shortly before 10 a.m. this morning. 

Endeavour will be mated to the External Tank/Solid Rocket Boosters atop the 
Mobile Launcher Platform tomorrow and the Shuttle Interface Test will be 
conducted to verify space vehicle systems.

The Leonardo Multi Purpose Logistics Module has been delivered to Pad A and will 
be installed in the Payload Ground Handling Mechanism, awaiting the arrival of 
Endeavour at the pad.

Shuttle Processing Note: Columbia is in an OPF bay undergoing processing 
operations for the STS-107 research mission in July. X-rays of the two Freon 
Coolant Loops are complete and mid-body bay closeouts are in progress. The 
Extended Duration Orbiter pallet  that contains additional propellants for the fuel 
cells has been checked out and will be installed later this week. An engineering 
team is evaluating the status of a cold plate located in bay 5 after several small 
dings were discovered on the cold plate surface.

MISSION STS-112 -- 15TH ISS FLIGHT (9A) - BA, ITS S1

VEHICLE: Atlantis/OV-104

Shuttle Processing Note: Shuttle Atlantis is back in its OPF bay after completing 
the STS-110 space station construction mission with a smooth landing at KSC 
last Friday. De-servicing operations have begun, and the residual power reactant 
fuel cell propellants were off-loaded over the weekend. Preparations are 
underway to remove the heat shield and main engines this week.
