Processing Note (previous
notes) |
 Following the decision Sunday night to postpone the launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour (earlier set for Monday, Nov. 11) due to higher than allowable oxygen levels in the orbiter’s mid body, workers began to perform nominal activities associated with a scrub turnaround. Detanking of Endeavour’s external tank was completed early Monday, and offloading of both the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen in the Power Reactant Storage and Distribution System has been completed.
At the pad, Endeavour’s payload bay doors were opened this morning allowing workers access to the mid body. Technicians will begin inspections to determine the source of the oxygen leak in the Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLS) late this evening.
The STS-113 astronauts returned to Johnson Space Center in Houston yesterday afternoon and will return to KSC once a final launch date has been set.
