KSC RELEASE NO. 56 - 02
SHUTTLE MISSION STS-111 LAUNCH TIME ANNOUNCED FOR LAUNCH ON JUNE 5
The planar launch window on Wednesday extends from 5:17:49 - 5:27:47
p.m. EDT with the preferred launch time reflecting a flight day three
rendezvous and docking with the International Space Station. The launch
window times will be updated to coincide with the latest orbital position of
the Space Station and will be announced at the T-9 minute hold.
STS-111 is a scheduled 12-day mission with a planned KSC landing at about
11:49 a.m. EDT on June 17.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Stormy weather once again threatened to delay the launch of space shuttle Endeavour and keep the crew of the international space station in orbit even longer.
NASA aimed for a late afternoon liftoff Wednesday after nearly a week of postponements, despite a forecast calling for thunderstorms, thick clouds and possibly gusty wind.
As part of the space agency's post-Sept. 11 anti-terrorism measures, the 5:23 p.m. launch time was kept a secret until the day before.
Endeavour will drop off a new crew at the orbiting outpost and bring home the three men who have been living there for the past six months. The shuttle astronauts also will repair the space station's robot arm.
The space station residents, Americans Daniel Bursch and Carl Walz and Russian Yuri Onufrienko, kept busy as they waited for their ride home. Bursch and Walz will surpass NASA's space endurance record next week, an achievement they did not expect when they rocketed into orbit in early December.
In March, NASA added a month to the space station crew's mission to give the Endeavour astronauts more time to prepare for the work on the robot arm. The arm needs a new wrist joint, and a pair of spacewalkers will perform the surgery.
NASA tried to launch Endeavour on the 12-day flight last Thursday but was thwarted by thunderstorms that ultimately pushed liftoff to Monday. Then a pressure valve had to be replaced, and the launch slipped to Wednesday.
Because of all the delays, Onufrienko is now on track to beat his own space endurance record, a 193-day mission in 1996 aboard Russia's old Mir station.
