Processing Note (previous
notes) |
Preparations for the countdown of the 112th Shuttle mission and launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour from Launch Pad 39A continue. The Flight Crew Equipment installation in the flight and mid-deck is currently in work. Countdown will begin on Friday for an early morning launch on Monday.
The weather forecast for launch is generally good. A ridge of high pressure will stretch across central Florida. Surface winds will be from the south, and low-level moisture will increase slowly early in the week. There is a 20 percent chance for showers during the launch window; however, the threat is primarily offshore.
