 The
GALEX launch has been postponed. The GALEX test team needs
additional time to resolve an issue with a demated connector found
during recent testing. SIRTF is still on track for an April
18 launch. A leak check of the first stage that includes loading
liquid oxygen aboard is scheduled for March 22. A flight simulation
to test the vehicle's systems that will operate during power flight
is scheduled for March 26. All components of the Mars Exploration
Rovers have been delivered to KSC and are undergoing prelaunch
testing. The initial functional test and mission simulation for
MER-1 is planned for the last week of March. Both rovers are seen
