SHUTTLE and PAYLOAD PROCESSING STATUS REPORT 
Thursday, June 7, 2001 (2 p.m.)

NOTE: This is an orbiter processing report and does not necessarily
reflect the chronological order of upcoming Space Shuttle flights. Visit
http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/schedule/schedule.htm on the KSC Home
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 7, 2001 at 7:03 a.m. EDT
TARGET KSC LANDING DATE/TIME: July 18, 2001 
MISSION DURATION: 10 days and 20 hours 
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 now targeting a launch of Space
Shuttle Atlantis no earlier than July 7.  The launch date move allows
additional time for Space Station managers to develop a repair plan for
the arm and preserves the earliest possible launch date.

Shuttle workers completed the Shuttle Interface Test yesterday and are
powering up the Shuttle vehicle today. Managers have scheduled an
additional leak test on the solid rocket booster separation motors and
that work will be performed Friday.  VAB high bay 1 work platforms will be
retracted Saturday in preparation for Atlantis' roll to the launch pad no
earlier than June 12. 

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 Airlock will be installed in the orbiter's payload bay about four
days after Atlantis arrives at 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: 12 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 have closed-out orbiter Discovery's
aft engine compartment. Orbital maneuvering system and reaction control
system tests are complete and final preparations for rollover to the VAB
are in work. Managers expect Discovery to be ready for rollover as early
as June 12.   

Payload Processing Note: Experiment and supply rack installations on the
Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) in the Space Station
Processing Facility are complete. Aft access closure to the MPLM was reset
for today. Leak checks and heater testing will be conducted Friday. The
delivery date of the MPLM to the pad is under review.

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 this week.  Workers are preparing to replace one of the orbiter's
reaction control system thrusters next week.  Technicians are also testing
an actuator on main engine No. 2.  

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's payload bay doors are open.
Freon coolant loop No. 1 will undergo servicing on Monday.  Subsystem
testing is work also.
