          KSC SPACE SHUTTLE PROCESSING REPORT FOR - THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1989

                     STS-28  -  COLUMBIA (OV 102)  -  OPF BAY 1

               A frequency response test of Columbia's three main engines
          is underway today. Technicians installed the left orbital
          maneuvering system pod yesterday and interface testing of both
          pods is underway.

               Other scheduled work includes functional testing of the
          waste containment system, servicing the auxiliary power units
          with water and testing the orbiter's communications systems.

               Columbia is scheduled to remain in bay 1 until late June
          when it will be transferred to the VAB for mating with its
          external tank and solid rocket boosters.

                     STS-33  -  DISCOVERY (OV 103)  -  OPF BAY 2

               Technicians are preparing Discovery for its roll to the OMRF
          today at 1 p.m. Discovery is being transferred to the OMRF to
          make room for Atlantis this weekend. Discovery will be
          transferred to bay 1 when Columbia goes to the VAB in June.

                     STS-30 SOLID ROCKET BOOSTERS  -  HANGAR AF

               Workers removed the aft skirts and nose cones yesterday. The
          segments were transferred inside Hangar AF where the nozzles and
          external tank attach rings are being removed. Today the left aft
          booster is scheduled to be removed. Once disassembled, the
          segments will be shipped back to Morton Thiokol for refurbishment
          and reloading with propellant.

                                 STS-28 SOLID ROCKET BOOSTERS - VAB

               The right forward segment is being lowered into place today
          and will be bolted to the right booster today. The right forward
          assembly/nose cone is scheduled to be stacked later this week
          which will complete the stacking operations for this set of
          boosters. Joint closeouts are active.

                         STS-34 SOLID ROCKET BOOSTERS - RPSF

               Technicians are building up the right and left aft boosters
          in the Rotation Processing and Surge Facility.
