Shuttle Managers Announce STS-107 Launch Time

Space Shuttle Program managers announced Wednesday morning that STS-107 is slated to lift off at 9:39 a.m. CST (1539 GMT) Thursday. Space Shuttle Columbia and its seven-member crew will spend 16 days in space during a mission devoted to research.

Meanwhile, final launch preparations continue at Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center (FL). The crew arrived in Florida on Sunday. Workers began placing late-stow items into Columbia on Tuesday.

After reviewing an engineering analysis, managers decided that a crack found in a metal ball associated with the Ball Strut Tie Rod Assembly in Space Shuttle Discovery's 43-centimeter (17-inch) liquid oxygen line would have no impact on Columbia’s mission.

Forecasts indicate that there is 95-percent chance of favorable weather at launch time on Thursday, with the primary concern being a slight chance of low clouds at Kennedy.
