ENDEAVOUR -- PREPARATIONS FOR ORBITER MAINTENANCE DOWN PERIOD (OMDP)

VEHICLE: Endeavour/OV-105
LOCATION: Shuttle Landing Facility

NOTE: The orbiter Endeavour was transported to the Shuttle Landing Facility 
this morning and is currently being mated to the modified 747 Shuttle 
Carrier Aircraft. Endeavour remains scheduled to depart KSC at about 7 a.m. 
tomorrow for Palmdale, CA.

     Due to forecast weather conditions at Ft. Campbell, KY, the orbiter/SCA 
will not be stopping over there as was originally planned. Instead, the 
orbiter/SCA plans to fly to Kelly AFB, San Antonio, TX, for refueling. 
Arrival at Kelly is estimated at about 10:30 a.m. EDT. Endeavour will then 
proceed on to Palmdale, where it will arrive late Tuesday afternoon, weather 
permitting.

     Another weather briefing is scheduled for 5:30 a.m. tomorrow at KSC to 
confirm flight plans.

     Endeavour is being sent to Palmdale for its first Orbiter Maintenance 
Down Period which is scheduled to last about eight months.
