Following Friday's
successful launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis, inspections of Launch Pad 39A revealed only
normal damage. Over the weekend, KSC's solid rocket booster recovery ships towed the
STS-101 boosters from the Atlantic Ocean back to Hangar AF on Cape Canaveral Air Force
Station. Recovery ship Freedom Star returned to Hangar AF Saturday afternoon and Liberty
Star arrived Sunday morning. Preliminary inspections indicate the boosters are in good
shape and in-depth assessments are in work today.

| Last week, workers replaced
the pyrotechnic devices on Discovery's Ku-Band antenna. Today, main engine and main propulsion
system leak checks are in progress while engine heat shield installation is ongoing. Technicians
are closing out the orbiter's midbody in preparations for payload bay door closure later today.
In the Vehicle Assembly Building, the aft segments of the
right-hand solid rocket booster have been stacked atop the Mobile Launcher Platform. Managers plan
to resume stacking operations tomorrow and complete the right hand booster this week. Left hand
booster stacking will resume in early June.
