NASA PROVIDES MEDIA WITH LATEST SHUTTLE LAUNCH STATUS

Space Shuttle managers will brief reporters today about NASA's Space
Shuttle Return to Flight mission (STS-114). The news conference starts no
earlier than 5:30 p.m. EDT. It will be live on NASA TV from Kennedy Space
Center (KSC), Fla. Questions will only be taken from media at Kennedy.

Managers and engineers have been working since last week developing
troubleshooting plans for a liquid hydrogen low-level fuel sensor inside the
Shuttle's External Tank. The sensor failed a routine pre-launch check during
the launch countdown Wednesday, causing NASA to postpone Discovery's first
launch attempt. The next attempt will take place no earlier than late this
week.

NASA TV is carried by MPEG-2 digital signal accessed via satellite AMC-6, at
72 degrees west longitude, transponder 17C, 4040 MHz, vertical polarization.
It's available in Alaska and Hawaii in analog through Return to Flight on
AMC-7, at 137 degrees west longitude, Transponder 18, at 4060 MHz, vertical
polarization, audio at 6.8 MHz. A Digital Video Broadcast compliant
Integrated Receiver Decoder is required for reception. Today's news
conference will be available on the Internet at:
