| Endeavour's main engine leak checks are complete and heat shield installation is under way. Technicians are also conducting functional tests on the orbiter's airlock upper hatch today. Workers will reconnect auxiliary power unit (APU) No. 2. today, while APU strut work continues. Managers are expected to determine if any additional orbiter maneuvering system pod work is required on Friday. |

Today, Shuttle managers named Feb. 14 as the target launch date for mission STS-109. The move accommodates orbiter processing requirements while maintaining an early 2002 launch date to the Hubble Space Telescope.
Technicians have completed close-out work on the recently installed forward reaction control system. Work on Columbia's orbiter maneuvering system (OMS) pods is complete. Workers are checking Columbia's S-band communication system and preparing for the payload premate test. |

Processing Note (previous notes) |
Managers also announced March 21 as the target launch date for mission STS-110. This move also accommodates orbiter processing requirements and allows time for the planned wiring modification currently in work.
Atlantis' main propulsion system has undergone a routine liquid oxygen leak check, and leak checks on the environmental control system are complete, as well. Thruster replacement efforts are nearing completion as technicians conduct routine X-ray checks. The monoball wiring harness modification continues.
