MISSION STS-113 - 16th ISS Flight (11A) - P1 Truss Segment VEHICLE: ENDEAVOUR/OV-105 LAUNCH DATE: Nov. 23, 2002 at 7:49:47 p.m. EST LANDING DATE: Dec. 7, 2002 at 2:37 p.m. EST MISSION DURATION: 14 days SHUTTLE CREW: Wetherbee, Lockhart, Lopez-Alegria, Herrington ISS CREW UP: Bowersox, Budarin, Pettit ISS CREW DOWN: Korzun, Whitson, Treschev ORBITAL ALTITUDE AND INCLINATION: 122 nautical miles/51.6 degrees Shuttle Processing Note: A little after 1:15 p.m. EST, flight controllers at Johnson Space Center decided to wave off today's landing attempts for Shuttle Endeavour at the Kennedy Space Center for the third consecutive day. Weather continued to deteriorate in the KSC vicinity due to a slow moving cold front with low clouds, crosswind concerns and thunderstorms, forcing the Shuttle to remain on orbit until Saturday. The Spaceflight Meteorology Group predicts improved weather conditions during tomorrow's landing attempts for both Kennedy Space Center and Edwards Air Force Base in Calif., which will be called up as a backup landing site tomorrow. Endeavour has four potential opportunities to land tomorrow, two at Kennedy Space Center and two at Edwards Air Force Base. The first of two landing opportunities available at KSC is at 2:37 p.m. EST with deorbit burn occuring at 1:32 p.m. The second landing opportunity for KSC would be 4:15 p.m. EST. The first attempt at Edwards Air Force Base is 5:45 p.m. EST, with the second at 7:22 p.m. EST. This mission makes the first time in Shuttle program history that a landing has been waved off for three consecutive days. -- 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.
