system's (ODS) pyrotechnics are complete and ODS functional tests are ongoing. Testing of
the space-to-space orbiter radio system is in progress. Preparations are under way for
engine installation, currently slated to begin Wednesday. Testing of the orbiter's
external tank umbilical door and main propulsion system checks continue on schedule.

| Shuttle program managers
decided today to move Shuttle Discovery's launch date to Oct. 5. The decision allows managers
ample time to review the Shuttle's performance following the STS-106 mission. Shuttle processing
efforts at KSC remain on schedule. Checks of the forward
reaction control system are in work, and orbiter maneuvering system pod functional tests are
scheduled. Managers expect the PMA-3 Space Station component to arrive at the OPF next week for
installation into the orbiter's payload bay.
