SHUTTLE and PAYLOAD PROCESSING STATUS REPORT 
Thursday, June 14, 2001 (1 p.m.)

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-104  -  10th  ISS Flight (7A) - Airlock 

VEHICLE: Atlantis/OV-104
LOCATION: Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB)
TARGET KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME: NET July 12, 2001 at 5:04 a.m. EDT
TARGET KSC LANDING DATE/TIME: July 23, 2001 at about 1 a.m. 
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: Space Shuttle Atlantis is mated to the external
tank and solid rocket boosters in VAB high bay 1.  Routine powered up
health checks are in work today and final preparations are under way for
roll out to Launch Pad 39B no earlier than Tuesday morning.  The decision
to roll is predicated on resolution of the International Space Station
robot arm issue. The STS-104 launch will occur no earlier than July 12.
 
Payload Processing Note: The U.S. Airlock remains in the pad's payload
changeout room. No work on the Airlock is scheduled until Atlantis is
delivered to the pad. The Airlock will be installed in the orbiter's
payload bay on or about June 25. An interface verification test is
tentatively scheduled for June 29 and the payload bay doors will be closed
for flight July 8. 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: Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB)
TARGET KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME: NET Aug. 5, 2001 at 7:05 p.m.
TARGET KSC LANDING DATE/TIME: Aug. 17, 2001 at about 3:30 p.m.
MISSION DURATION: 11 days, 20 hours and 25 minutes 
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: Orbiter Discovery moved into the VAB yesterday
morning and last night was mated to the external tank and boosters in VAB
high bay 3. The Shuttle Interface Test begins Monday and roll out to
Launch Pad 39A is currently scheduled for June 25. The processing flows
for STS-105 and STS-104 are expected to be finalized early next week. 

Payload Processing Note: In the Space Station Processing Facility, aft
access closure to the Leonardo Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) was
completed June 7. Leak checks and heater testing was conducted last
Friday, while multi-layer insulation installation continues in work. A
leak check of the Common Berthing Mechanism is being conducted today. The
MPLM is scheduled to be delivered to the pad in late July.

MISSION: STS-108 - 12th ISS Flight (UF1) - 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: Technicians complete thruster replacement work on
Endeavour's reaction control system. Routine orbiter system testing is in
work and a powered down modification period begins tomorrow.  
 
Payload Processing Note: In the Space Station Processing Facility, the
Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) was released from its
previous mission (STS-100) post-mission processing this week.
Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLSS) checks will begin next week
as will post-mission weight and center-of-gravity checks.

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: Columbia's freon coolant loops have undergone
standard servicing work and sample testing is now in work.  Technicians
are preparing for orbiter ammonia system leak and functional testing this
week.
