Processing Note (previous
notes) |
| Shuttle managers made the decision today to postpone the launch of STS-109 one week (to Feb.21) because of the reaction wheel problem being addressed with the Hubble Telescope. Launch readiness will be assessed again in early January. In the Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF), the payload doors of Orbiter Columbia have been closed and aft closeouts are in work. No operations are scheduled for Christmas week. |

Shuttle
Processing Note (previous notes) |
| The launch of STS-110 to the International Space Station has been rescheduled for April 4 because of a program decision to remove at least one
of the Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) pods to verify the stress integrity of attach
point No.5. Bore scope checks have indicated that the dimensions of the attach point fittings may not meet flight requirements. Orbiter Atlantis was powered up in the OPF today after undergoing 2½ months of planned modification work. Pre-launch processing will continue this week and resume after the Christmas holidays.
