06.26.06<br /><br />George H. Diller<br />Kennedy Space Center, Fla.<br />321-867-2468<br /><br />STATUS REPORT: ELV-062606<br /><br />EXPENDABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE STATUS REPORT<br /><br />Mission: STEREO (Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory) <br />Launch Pad: 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station <br />Launch Vehicle: Boeing Delta II <br />Launch Date: July 30, 2006 <br />Launch Time: 2:55 - 2:57 p.m. or 4:03 - 4:18 p.m. EDT <br /><br />The launch of STEREO aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket has been <br />rescheduled to July 30, pending confirmation by the Eastern Range. <br />This allows the launch to occur at a more optimum time in the launch <br />period and provides additional schedule time to accomplish critical <br />safety operations on the spacecraft, including fueling and spin <br />balance testing.<br /><br />At the Astrotech Space Operations Facility, testing and prelaunch <br />processing of STEREO continues. The final Comprehensive Performance <br />Test was completed late last week on the "A" Observatory. The "B" <br />Observatory completed the test earlier in the week. The "B" <br />spacecraft's solar arrays have been installed. Technicians are <br />performing the deployment tests on the "A" solar arrays and high-gain <br />antenna today. STEREO launch and mission simulations with the Deep <br />Space Network were also performed. Thermal blanket installation <br />continues.<br /><br />The second and third sets of three solid rocket boosters will be <br />erected on the Delta II booster for STEREO at Pad 17-B this week. <br />This is possible now that the U.S. Air Force MiTEx mission has <br />launched from adjacent Pad 17-A. After the boosters are erected, the <br />second stage will be hoisted atop the first stage, and the payload <br />fairing will be raised into the clean room inside the pad's mobile <br />service tower.<br /><br />For previous expendable launch vehicle processing status reports, <br />visit:<br /><br /> http://www.nasa.gov/centers/kennedy/launchingrockets/status/2006
