                KSC SHUTTLE STATUS REPORT - WEDNESDAY, DEC. 13, 1989

                        STS-32 - COLUMBIA (OV 102) - PAD 39-A

               Hypergolic propellant loading activities and the "hot fire"
          test of the hydraulic power units were successfully completed
          yesterday. The pad has been reopened for normal work. Workers are
          validating systems at Pad 39-A to be used in loading liquid
          oxygen and liquid hydrogen propellants into the orbiter's onboard
          storage tanks.

               Ordnance installation and checks of firing circuits are
          planned for Sunday and closeouts of the aft compartment are
          underway.

               The Dec. 18 launch date of Mission STS-32 is being assessed
          at this time.

                       STS-36 - ATLANTIS (OV 104) - OPF BAY 1

               The right orbital maneuvering system pod has been
          mechanically installed on the vehicle and will be electrically
          mated later today. Installation of the three main engines is
          planned for Friday and Saturday.

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

               Power up post-flight systems testing and inspections are
          scheduled this week. Removal of the three main engines is planned
          this week.

                         STS-36 SOLID ROCKET BOOSTERS - VAB

               Stacking operations are continuing. The right forward
          segment was mated today and preparations to raise and mate the
          right forward assembly are underway. Joint closeouts are
          underway. The external tank is scheduled to be mated to the
          boosters next week.
