At Hangar AF, the solid rocket booster disassembly process continues on schedule. Forward and aft skirts were removed from both boosters yesterday and nozzle removal occurs today. All segment hardware and solid rocket motor inspections indicate booster performance was normal and no abnormal damage was sustained. Standard groundwork is underway at the Shuttle Landing Facility this week in preparation for Monday's planned landing of Shuttle Atlantis.


MISSION: STS-92 -- 5th ISS Flight (3A) -- Z-1 Truss, PMA-3

VEHICLE Discovery/OV-103
LOCATION OPF bay 1
TARGET KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME Sept. 21, 2000 at 3:55 a.m. EDT

ORBITAL ALTITUDE and INCLINATION 173 nautical miles/51.6 degrees
Shuttle Processing Note
Leak checks of Discovery's main propulsion system are complete. Engine heat shield installation is in progress. This week drag chute door and frame evaluation if scheduled. Payload bay door closure occurred Monday.

In the Vehicle Assembly Building, workers are lubricating the 250-ton crane before continuing booster stacking operations. Managers currently plan to resume stacking of the right-hand solid rocket booster early next week. Once the right hand booster is completed, engineers will begin a planned assessment of booster field joints for about 2 weeks. Left-hand booster stacking will commence following that effort.


MISSION: STS-97 -- 6th ISS Flight (4A) -- PV Module P6

VEHICLE Endeavour/OV-105
LOCATION OPF bay 2
TARGET KSC LAUNCH DATE/TIME Nov. 29, 2000 at 10:50 p.m. EDT
TARGET KSC LANDING DATE/TIME Dec. 9, 2000 at 1:40 a.m.
MISSION DURATION 9 days
CREW Jett, Bloomfield, Tanner, Noriega, Garneau
ORBITAL ALTITUDE and INCLINATION 173 nautical miles/51.6 degrees
Shuttle Processing Note
Testing of Endeavour's power reactant storage and distribution system is complete. Preparation is in work to replace the right-hand orbiter maneuvering system engine. Technicians are installing the orbiter's main landing gear wheels and tires. Later this week, workers will install the docking system on the orbiter's airlock.
