Processing Note (previous
notes) |
Shuttle Columbia is on orbit, completing Flight Day 4 of the STS-109 mission. Astronauts John Grunsfeld and Rick Linnehan successfully performed a seven-hour spacewalk to install the new starboard solar
array on the Hubble Space Telescope.
On Saturday with the spent booster canisters in tow, Solid Rocket
Booster (SRB) retrieval ships Liberty Star and Freedom Star
returned to their berths at Hangar AF on the Cape Canaveral
Air Force Station. The dockside lift to a segment dolly has
been delayed due to high winds over the weekend. The recovery
team hopes to complete the lifting operations later today. Initial
inspection of the SRBs indicates no unusual damage on impact. |
