KSC Release No. 102-98
SHUTTLE DISCOVERY SCHEDULED TO ROLLOUT TO LAUNCH PAD 39B SEPT. 21
Towering atop the mobile launcher platform and crawler transporter,
Space Shuttle Discovery is scheduled to emerge from the Vehicle Assembly
Building (VAB) on Monday, Sept. 21. Once at Launch Pad 39B, the orbiter,
external tank and the solid rocket boosters will undergo final preparations
for the STS-95 launch, currently targeted for Oct. 29, 1998.
At about 2 a.m. Monday, the crawler transporter is expected to begin
its 4.2-mile trip to the pad. As the sun rises, Discovery will approach the
pad slope and is scheduled to be hard down on the pad surface at about 8
a.m. The Rotating Service Structure will extend around the vehicle soon
after pad arrival and launch pad validations will proceed through Tuesday
night.
The crew of mission STS-95 includes: Commander Curt Brown, Pilot
Steven Lindsey; Mission Specialists Scott Parazynski, Stephen Robinson, and
Pedro Duque; and Payload Specialists Chiaki Mukai and John Glenn.
Along with Senator Glenn's momentous return to space, the primary objectives
of this mission are to conduct microgravity research in the SPACEHAB module,
deploy and retrieve the Spartan-201 solar-observing spacecraft, and perform
experiments with the Hubble Space Telescope Orbital Systems Test (HOST) and
the International Extreme Ultraviolet Hitchhiker.
The assortment of vertical payloads are set to arrive at the pad on
Sept. 25 and be installed into the orbiter the following day.
The Shuttle flight crew will visit KSC in about three weeks to
participate in the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT), set for
Oct. 8 and 9. Media opportunities with the crew will be announced the week
before the event.
NOTE TO EDITORS: Media needing accreditation to view Discovery's rollout
should contact the KSC Press Site before close of business Friday, Sept. 18.
The Press Site is scheduled to open at 10 p.m. Sunday and remain open
through close of business Monday. Media can pick up badges from 10 p.m.
Sunday through 12:30 a.m. Monday at the Pass and Identification Building on
State Road 3, south of KSC. Media should plan on being at the Press Site no
later than 1 a.m. for escort to the VAB. Weekend updated rollout information
and Press Site hours of operation will be available by calling 407-867-2525.
