STS 112 LAUNCH STATUS REPORT

STS-112's launch countdown began over the weekend at Kennedy Space
Center, Fla., and preparations remain on schedule for lift off. The
STS-112 crew arrived at KSC Sunday morning. Space Shuttle Atlantis is
slated to launch Wednesday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. CDT (1800 and 2200
GMT). 

Weather forecasts call for a 60-percent chance of favorable weather at
launch, with the main concerns being showers and thunderstorms in the
vicinity. Meanwhile, managers continue to monitor the progress of
Hurricane Lili and will discuss contingency plans if Lili threatens the
Mission Control Center at Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
Currently, Lili poses no immediate threat to KSC. 

Atlantis and its six-member crew will deliver the S-1 (S-One) Truss to
the International Space Station. The crew will perform three spacewalks
at the station and will transfer supplies and equipment between the two
vehicles.
