Page for the latest schedule of future Shuttle missions.  

MISSION: STS-104  -  10th  ISS Flight (7A) - Airlock 

VEHICLE: Atlantis/OV-104
LOCATION: Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB)
TARGET KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME: NET July 2, 2001 at 9:02 a.m. EDT
TARGET KSC LANDING DATE/TIME: July 13, 2001 at 5:03 a.m.
MISSION DURATION: 10 days, 20 hours and 1 minute 
CREW: Lindsey, Hobaugh, Kavandi, Gernhardt, Reilly
ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE and INCLINATION: 122 nautical miles/51.6
degrees

Shuttle Processing Note: Pending resolution of the International Space
Station's robot arm problem, managers are targeting a launch of Space
Shuttle Atlantis no earlier than July 2.  Orbiter Atlantis has been mated
to the external tank and solid rocket boosters in VAB high bay 1.  Final
support connections are being made today and the Shuttle Interface Test is
scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.  Atlantis will roll out
to the launch pad no earlier than June 11 with first motion at 2 a.m. 

Payload Processing Note: The U.S. Airlock remains in the pad's payload
changeout room. No work is scheduled until Atlantis is delivered to the
pad. The IMAX 3D camera, currently in the Operations and Checkout
building, will be delivered to the pad and installed into the orbiter
following rollout. 

MISSION: STS-105  - 11th ISS Flight (7A.1) - Leonardo MPLM 

VEHICLE: Discovery/OV-103
LOCATION: Orbiter Processing Facility bay 2
TARGET KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME: No earlier than Aug. 5, 2001
TARGET KSC LANDING DATE/TIME: Aug. 16, 2001
MISSION DURATION: 11 days    
CREW: Horowitz, Sturckow, Barry, Forrester; (ISS up) Culbertson, Dezhurov,
Turin; (ISS down) Usachev, Voss, Helms, 
ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE and INCLINATION: 122 nautical miles/51.6
degrees

Shuttle Processing Note: Technicians are working to closeout orbiter
Discovery's aft engine compartment.  Routine tests of the orbital
maneuvering system and reaction control system flight controls are
scheduled this week.  Managers plan to transfer Discovery to the VAB June
12.  Once there, the orbiter will be mated to the external tank and solid
rocket boosters in VAB high bay 3.   

Payload Processing Note: Experiment and supply rack installations on the
Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) in the Space Station
Processing Facility were completed last week. Aft access closure to the
MPLM is tentatively set for late today. Leak checks and heater testing
will be conducted later this week. The MPLM is scheduled to be delivered
to the pad June 29.

MISSION: STS-108 - 12th ISS Flight (UF1) -Raffaello  MPLM

VEHICLE: Endeavour/OV-105
LOCATION: Orbiter Processing Facility bay 1
TARGET KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME: Nov. 29, 2001 
TARGET KSC LANDING DATE/TIME: Dec. 9, 2001
MISSION DURATION: 10 days 
CREW: Gorie, Kelly, Godwin, Tani; (ISS up) Onufrienko, Bursch, Walz; (ISS
down) Culbertson, Dezhurov, Turin 
ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE and INCLINATION: 122 nautical miles/51.6
degrees

Shuttle Processing Note: Endeavour's orbital maneuvering system pod checks
continue and checks of the orbiter's power reactant storage and
distribution system are under way. Technicians are also testing the main
engine thrust vector control system.  

MISSION: STS-109 - HST Servicing Mission 3B

VEHICLE: Columbia/OV-102
LOCATION: Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3
TARGET KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME: Jan. 17, 2002
TARGET KSC LANDING DATE/TIME:  Jan. 28, 2002
MISSION DURATION: TBD 
CREW: Altman, Carey, Grunsfeld, Currie, Newman, Linnehan, Massimino 
ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE and INCLINATION: 308 nautical miles/28.5
degrees 

Shuttle Processing Note: Orbiter Columbia was powered up for testing last
Friday.  Subsystem testing is now in work and the payload bay doors will
be
opened tomorrow.
