Shuttle Processing Note (previous notes) |
||||||||||||
| Following a flawless countdown, Shuttle Endeavour lifted off at 5:22:49 p.m. EDT on the STS-111 mission to the International Space Station. Although thick clouds in the vicinity were a concern until launch time, the weather cooperated to provide a magnificent beginning to the 12-day mission. One of the objectives is to deliver the Expedition Five crew and return the Expedition Four crew after a record stay of 193 days at the Station. Quick-look data indicate that Shuttle engines performed normally during the eight minutes of powered flight. Solid Rocket Booster retrieval ships Liberty Star and Freedom Star are poised in the recovery area some 140 miles east of Cape Canaveral assessing the status of the two spent booster casings. The ships are scheduled to return to Hangar AF at Cape Canaveral on Friday, June 7.
