KENNEDY SPACE CENTER SHUTTLE & PAYLOAD PROCESSING STATUS REPORT Monday, June 3, 2002 (10:00 a.m.) NOTE: Visit http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/schedule/schedule.htm on the KSC Home Page for the latest schedule of future Shuttle missions. MISSION: STS-111 - 14th ISS Flight (UF2) - MPLM VEHICLE: Endeavour/OV-105 LAUNCH DATE: June 5, 2002 LAUNCH TIME: 4 - 8 p.m. EDT KSC LANDING DATE: June 17, 2002 MISSION DURATION: 12 days CREW: Cockrell, Lockhart, Chang-Diaz, Perrin; (ISS up) Korzun, Whitson, Treschev; (ISS down) Onufrienko, Bursch, Walz ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE AND INCLINATION: 122 nautical miles/51.6 degrees Shuttle Processing Note: NASA managers postponed the launch of Space Shuttle Endeavour on Mission STS-111/UF2 to the International Space Station until Wednesday, June 5 to allow technicians time to change out a faulty gaseous nitrogen regulator valve in the left Orbital Maneuvering System pod. Workers at the pad have completed the removal and replacement of the valve and leak checks are in work. The delay also made it necessary to top off both the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen in the Power Reactant Storage and Distribution System, which is scheduled to begin late tonight. The weather forecast for Wednesday shows some improvement over the last several days, but forecasters indicate a 40 percent chance of weather prohibiting launch on Wednesday due to possible afternoon thunderstorms and rain showers. The four Shuttle astronauts and three Expedition Five crewmembers spent the weekend at KSC relaxing and reviewing their flight plans. A launch advisory will be issued Tuesday afternoon providing the planned launch time for Wednesday. -- end -- ------------------------------------------------------------- For automatic email subscriptions to this KSC originated press releases, send an Internet electronic mail message to mailto:ksc-news_release-subscribe@kscnews.ksc.nasa.gov.
