Status Reports each week, and is the source for information regarding
processing activities associated with the vehicles and payloads. This
report does not necessarily reflect the chronological order of future
Space Shuttle missions. If you are a member of the media and would

Discovery (OV-103)
Mission: STS-114 - 17th ISS Flight (LF1)
Payload: Multi-Purpose Logistics Module
Location: Launch Pad 39B
Launch Date: July 13, 2005, 3:51 p.m. EDT
Launch Pad: 39B
Crew: Collins, Kelly, Noguchi, Robinson, Thomas, Lawrence and Camarda
Inclination/Orbit Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles
Final preparations for the launch of Discovery's Return to Flight
mission to the International Space Station continue at Launch Pad
39B. Following the weather briefing at 6:30 a.m. today, hurricane
rollback preparations were discontinued and processing resumed toward
a July 13 launch.
The only hurricane preparations that began last night were ordnance
disconnects. The reconnection of that ordnance will begin late
tonight.
Due to weather concerns associated with Hurricane Dennis, the STS-114
crew will now arrive one day early via a Gulf Stream on Saturday,
July 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy
Space Center.
Launch countdown preparations have begun in firing room 3 of the
Launch Control Center in anticipation of the countdown beginning on
Sunday at 6 p.m. at the T-43 hour mark.
Today, the pad structure and surface areas were prepared for launch
activities. Also, the new wing leading edge sensors that will monitor
impacts or temperature changes were programmed for flight.
