NOTE: This is an orbiter processing report and does not necessarily reflect the chronological order of upcoming Space Shuttle flights. 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/TIME: June 5, 2002 at 5:22:49 p.m. EDT 
KSC LANDING DATE:  June 19, 2002 at 10:53 a.m. EDT

ORBITAL INSERTION ALTITUDE AND INCLINATION: 122 nautical miles/51.6 degrees

Shuttle Processing Note: Flight control managers at Johnson Space Center decided to wave off both landing attempts for a second consecutive day due to low clouds, showers and possible thunderstorms in the Kennedy Space Center vicinity that would violate weather constraints at time of landing. Edwards Air Force Base in Calif., was not called up for backup today. Forecasters predict much improved weather conditions for landing tomorrow at both KSC and Edwards. Endeavour has five potential opportunities to land tomorrow, with the first of two landing opportunities available at KSC at 10:53 a.m. EDT with deorbit burn occurring at 9:44 a.m. The second landing opportunity for tomorrow would be 12:27 p.m. EDT. Three attempts follow at Edwards Air Force Base, with the first opportunity occurring at 1:58 p.m. EDT.
