| Shuttle Mission managers have rescheduled the launch of the STS-107 Spacehab/Freestar Research Mission to July 19 to allow additional time to complete orbiter processing operations. Preparations are underway with Columbia in the OPF to re-service Freon coolant loop No. 1 after the line was purged to remove some trapped contaminates. X-ray inspections of coolant loop No. 2 are continuing. A control panel has been removed from the crew compartment to replace a faulty relay. |
