Shuttle Processing Note (previous notes)

NASA managers today chose Wednesday, June 5, as the next opportunity to launch Space Shuttle Endeavour on Mission STS-111/UF2 to the International Space Station.

Mission managers met Sunday morning to assess the progress of changing a regulator in the left Orbital Maneuvering System pod aboard Endeavour. This gaseous nitrogen pressure regulator is the same component that showed pressure differentials during the launch count last Thursday. Because of the uniqueness of the change out and the work to build a test fixture required, launch of Endeavour on the STS-111/UF2 mission to the International Space Station has been moved to Wednesday between 4 and 8 p.m. Eastern time. A launch advisory will be issued at approximately 5 p.m. EDT Tuesday providing the preferred launch time for Wednesday.

NASA Television coverage of the launch will begin at 2 p.m. Eastern.

The long-range weather forecast for Wednesday shows some improvement in what has been seen over the last several days near the time of launch, but still indicates the chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms and rain showers.

The four shuttle astronauts and three Expedition Five crewmembers spent the weekend relaxing and reviewing their flight plan to be executed once on orbit.

Aboard the ISS, the Expedition Four crew was notified of the additional delay shortly after the meeting by Mission Control and took the news in stride.
