| KSC is no longer in
any "Hurricane Condition" as a result of Hurricane Debby taking a more westerly
turn overnight and being downgraded to a tropical wave. Shuttle managers will monitor
tropical weather activity as work at the pad continues on schedule. Prelaunch hypergolic
propellant loading operations continue today. Preparations are also underway for a
scheduled hot fire of auxiliary power unit No. 1 on Friday. A manager's Launch Readiness Review is set to occur tomorrow as a precursor
to the Flight Readiness Review set for next Tuesday.
