REVISED VERSION
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: Launch Pad 39B
KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME: July 12, 2001 at 5:04 a.m. EDT
KSC LANDING DATE/TIME: July 23, 2001 at 12:57 a.m. 
MISSION DURATION: 10 days and 19 hours and 53 minutes 
CREW: Lindsey, Hobaugh, Kavandi, Gernhardt, Reilly
ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE and INCLINATION: 122 nautical miles/51.6
degrees

Shuttle Processing Note: Processing of Space Shuttle Atlantis toward a
July 12 launch date continues on schedule. Earlier this week, workers
completed Shuttle ordnance installation, and testing of pyrotechnic
initiator controllers concluded Tuesday.  

A multiplexer-demultiplexer (MDM) located in Atlantis' aft avionics bay 4
has been replaced and is undergoing standard retests today.  The MDM
supports prelaunch ground operation activities and has no in-flight
impact. Pre-flight checks of the orbiter space vision system are ongoing. 

Atlantis' aft compartment doors will be installed Sunday.  The flight crew
arrives at KSC Sunday at about 9:30 p.m. to begin final flight
preparation.
The launch countdown begins Monday at 8 a.m. in KSC Firing Room 3.    

Payload Processing Note: The Airlock payload is secure in Atlantis'
payload
bay with the doors closed for flight.  The Wireless Instrumentation System
(Micro-WIS) payload is undergoing checks today.

MISSION: STS-105  - 11th ISS Flight (7A.1) - Leonardo MPLM 
VEHICLE: Discovery/OV-103
LOCATION: Launch Pad 39A
TARGET KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME: NET August 7, 2001 at 5:23 p.m. EDT
TARGET KSC LANDING DATE/TIME: August 19, 2001 
MISSION DURATION: 11 days and 20 hours  
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: Managers decided this afternoon to launch Shuttle
Discovery no earlier than Aug. 7.  This allows ample time between flights
for data review and preserves the earliest STS-105 launch opportunity. 

Discovery's main engine pressure transducer replacement is complete.  The
engine flight readiness test is scheduled for July 21 and 22.  Launch pad
validations continue to go well at pad 39A.  

Payload Processing Note: The Leonardo MPLM is scheduled for transfer to
Launch Pad 39A July 23.  The Early Ammonia Servicer for the space station
has been filled with liquid ammonia. 
 
MISSION: STS-108 - 12th ISS Flight (UF1) - MPLM
VEHICLE: Endeavour/OV-105
LOCATION: Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF) bay 1
TARGET KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME: Nov. 29, 2001 EST
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: While Endeavour is powered down, workers are
performing planned modifications on orbiter wiring and harnesses.   A
powered-up checkout is scheduled to begin July 10.

Payload Processing Note:  The Raffaello MPLM begins pre-integration
checkout in the Space Station Processing Facility July 17.   

MISSION: STS-109 - HST Servicing  Mission 3B
VEHICLE: Columbia/OV-102
LOCATION: OPF bay 3 
TARGET KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME: Jan. 17, 2002 EST
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: Technicians are inspecting the orbiter's chin
panel and nose cap.  Standard subsystem testing continues.  Columbia's
main propulsion system is undergoing routine helium leak checks this week.
