Rollout Review today at KSC and determined that Orbiter Atlantis is ready to
proceed with vertical processing following the completion of open work. Current
plans show Atlantis rolling to the Vehicle Assembly Building as early as March
16. Though launch remains targeted for no earlier than April 13, managers
continue to evaluate STS-101 launch options. A delay of a few days is possible
and a target date decision is expected next week.
