technicians began preparations to remove Shuttle Atlantis' three main engines. Heat shield
removal is ongoing and engine removal begins later this week. The payload bay doors were
opened Friday and workers disconnected the payload from the orbiter over the weekend.
Payload removal efforts are planned for today. Post-flight
evaluations of the orbiter's auxiliary power converter unit (APCU) No. 1 confirmed that
the unit is in good health and need not be replaced. Checks of the forward reaction
