Shuttle managers today confirmed that Shuttle
Endeavour remains on schedule for the targeted Jan. 31 launch date. Through work
record evaluation, engineering analysis and manual tile inspection, engineers
are confident that Endeavour's thermal protection system is in excellent shape
for launch.
Over the weekend, engineers determined that four camera mounts in Endeavour's
payload bay will be replaced with no schedule impact. Tuesday morning, the
orbiter's payload bay will be opened and workers will remove and replace two
camera assemblies from the forward bulkhead and two camera assemblies from the
aft bulkhead. Analysis showed that the camera mounts were slightly yielding to
the camera's weight. A strengthening modification has been implemented on the
replacement units.
At Launch Pad 39A, workers continue with aft compartment close-outs, which
conclude Wednesday. Ordnance installation continues through Wednesday and
countdown preparations are in work.
