Shuttle Processing Note (previous notes)

Flight control managers at Johnson Space Center decided to wave off both landing attempts today for Shuttle Endeavour due to low clouds in the Kennedy Space Center vicinity that would violate weather constraints at time of landing. Forecasters predict an increase chance of showers and clouds during tomorrow’s landing attempts, with Friday’s weather showing improvement.

Endeavour has two potential opportunities to land tomorrow, with the first of two landing opportunities available at KSC at 2:54 p.m. EST with deorbit burn occurring at 1:49 p.m. The second landing opportunity for tomorrow would be 4:30 p.m. EST. Two opportunities are also available at KSC on Friday. Edwards Air Force Base in Calif., will not be called up as backup landing site tomorrow.
