| At
Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB), Calif., standard post-flight deservicing
of Shuttle Endeavour continues to go well. Technicians are establishing
vehicle access and proceeding with efforts to offload Endeavour’s
onboard cryogenics. Preparation to mate Endeavour to NASA’s modified
Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft begins Sunday. Managers are
targeting a ferry flight departure from EAFB Tuesday, May 8.
Inspections performed on Space Shuttle
Endeavour at Edwards runway 22 and in the Mate-Demate Device revealed a
total of 92 debris hits to the orbiter’s thermal protection system.
Thirteen of the impact sites measured 1-inch or larger.
Preliminary plans have the orbiter/SCA
refueling at Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, Texas and then stopping
for an overnight stay at Eglin Air Force Base near Ft. Walton Beach,
Fla. If all goes as planned, Endeavour could return to KSC as early as
May 9. The schedule and flight path of any ferry flight are dependant
upon weather conditions and daylight en route.
