June Status Reports
 
Shuttle Status:  Following completion of Main Propulsion System (MPS) liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen flow liner inspections on all four Space Shuttle orbiters, mission managers have changed all launch dates to under review. Meanwhile, a full engineering review is being conducted by NASA to determine the cause of the cracks found on the orbiter's flow liners and to develop an appropriate remedy. Various engineering teams across the country continue to analyze data to determine the appropriate course of action that will lead to a safe launch at the earliest possible date. A decision is expected as early as late next week regarding the various repair options.
