The flight crew's Terminal Countdown Demonstration
Test at KSC has been moved from March 30 and 31 to April 6 and 7. As a
precaution, managers decided to postpone TCDT to allow Commander Jim Halsell's
sprained left ankle additional time to heal and to ensure his full participation
in training activities.
However, to optimize crew training requirements,
Shuttle managers are currently reviewing launch date options for STS-101. A
delay of as much as a few days is possible. Managers are expected to make a
final decision early next week.
In the VAB, workers are performing final
connections and primary leak checks on Altantis' replaced main engine No. 1.
Technicians have completed hydraulic pump replacement efforts on the right-hand
solid rocket booster. Space Shuttle Atlantis remains scheduled for rollout to
Launch Pad 39A Saturday at about 7 a.m. The SPACEHAB payload is slated for
installation into the orbiter's payload bay on Sunday.
