| Shuttle Processing Note |
| A few hours after the
STS-101 landing on Monday, Atlantis was towed to Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3.
Post-flight inspections and routine vehicle safing continue on schedule today. Preliminary
inspections revealed a total of 64 debris hits to the orbiter’s lower surface, with
only 18 measuring 1-inch or larger. Atlantis’ landing gear tires are reported to be
in good condition. Post-landing inspections also
confirmed that tile damage to the underside of the right wing, previously documented by
launch video analysis, was not a significant concern. The impact site is about 10 feet in
front of the right inboard elevon and measures 5.25-inches long, 1.5-inches wide and
.5-inch deep. There is no indication of structural damage.
