At Launch Pad 39A, preparations for Endeavour's
upcoming launch continue on schedule. Orbiter aft compartment close-outs are
going well and the aft doors are slated for installation on Wednesday. Shuttle
ordnance installation begins today and flight crew equipment stowage continues
through next week.
Engineering evaluation of Endeavour's thermal tiles continues. The analysis will
determine if any additional tile work is required on Endeavour prior to launch,
and if so, what schedule impacts may exist. To date, only two tiles have been
removed from the orbiter's nose and will be replaced in parallel with standard
work.
Engineers are also considering a strengthening modification for four camera
mounts located in the orbiter's payload bay. If the modifications are needed,
the payload bay doors must be opened to allow work on the forward and aft
bulkhead cameras early next week, with no impact to the current schedule.

Orbiter maneuvering system functional tests were
completed earlier this week. Servicing of Atlantis' freon coolant loop No. 2
concluded Wednesday. Wiring inspections and repairs continue in the orbiter's
aft and midbody compartments. Checks on the Ku-band antenna and TACAN system are
also under way.
