Space Shuttle Processing
Status Report S-100606

October 6, Friday

Mission: STS-117 - 21st International Space Station Flight (13A) -
S3/S4 Truss Segment Solar Arrays
Vehicle: Atlantis (OV-104)
Location: Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 1
Launch Date: No earlier than Feb. 22, 2007
Launch Pad: 39B
Crew: Frederick Sturckow, Lee Archambault, James Reilly,
Patrick Forrester, Steven Swanson and John Olivas
Inclination/Orbit Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles

Technicians continue performing post-landing inspections on orbiter
Atlantis and are about 85 percent complete with the review of the thermal
protection system. During inspections, a 0.1-inch diameter impact was
noted on Atlantis' right-hand payload bay door radiator. The damage has
been preliminarily identified as caused by micrometeoroid orbital debris
(MMOD), which passed through the radiator's face (outer) sheet, interior
honeycomb structure and inner sheet. The MMOD did not impact the
payload bay door itself. Ground operations personnel at Kennedy Space
Center will repair the damage as soon as a plan is developed and
approved, while ensuring the site is protected for analysis by orbital
debris experts at Johnson Space Center.

This week, technicians performed the forward reaction control system
functional test and checkout, with a similar test scheduled for the orbiter
maneuvering system this weekend. On Oct. 1, technicians removed the
three space shuttle main engines from the aft of the vehicle. Wing leading
edge thermography on the reinforced carbon-carbon panels is complete
and the chin panel, located under the nose cap, has been removed.

Endeavour (OV-105)

Mission: STS-118 - 22nd International Space Station Flight (13A.1) -
S5 Truss Segment
Vehicle: Endeavour (OV-105)
Location: Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 2
Launch Date: No earlier than June 11, 2007
Launch Pad: 39A
Crew: Scott Kelly, Charles Hobaugh, Richard Mastracchio,
Dafydd Williams, Tracy Caldwell, Barbara Morgan and Clayton Anderson
Inclination/Orbit Altitude: 51.6 degrees/122 nautical miles

Endeavour remains powered down in Orbiter Processing Facility bay 2 and
technicians continue preparing the vehicle for its first launch following an
extensive modification period. Exhaust duct leak checks are complete on
auxiliary power unit No. 1.

Work continues on the orbiter boom sensor system manipulator
positioning mechanism. The mechanisms serve as the pedestals that hold
the boom in place in the payload bay when it is not in use. The aft
pedestal is installed for flight.

STS-117 Atlantis

Two OPF Bays evacuated following leak

November 6, Monday

Two bays at the Orbiter Processing Facility at the Kennedy Space
Center (KSC) have been evacuated, following a leak of monomethyl
hydrazine (MMH), this morning local time.

Thankfully, no one was injured or harmed by the very dangerous
hypergolic propellant - which is used to power the orbiter's OMS (Orbital
Maneuvering System) engines.

bay 2 (in the background). Photo: NASA/KSC, 1999

'A little before 9am this morning, the Orbiter Processing Facility at
Kennedy Space Center had to evacuate two of their three processing
bays,' said NASA officials claim.

The leak occurred in OPF-1, which is currently housing Atlantis and her
preparations for STS-117 (LON-317) next year. The leak, detected by the
daily safety checks, also affected OPF-2, which is where Endeavour is
currently housed.

'Each morning, a safety crew checks chemical levels in the rooms and
they found unexpectedly high levels of monomethyl hydrazine which is
one of the two components of the fuel used in the Orbital Maneuvering
System (OMS) on the Shuttle,' added the NASA official.

How the leak occurred appears to have been during the transit of some of
the hypergolic fuel, although no specifics of what processes were being
carried out at the time of the leak were noted.

'They use a quick-disconnect hose to carry the fuel between the bays and
a cap somehow came off prior to the levels being tested this morning,'
added NASA. 'There were no injuries and the fuel flow has been stopped.

'Employees, if they're not back at work now, will be returning to work
shortly.'
