                  KSC SHUTTLE STATUS REPORT - MONDAY, DEC. 18, 1989

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

               This weekend, ordnance devices were installed on the vehicle
          and the power reactant storage and distribution system dewars at
          the pad were loaded with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen
          propellants.

               Today, work continues to validate systems at Pad 39-A to be
          used in loading liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen propellants
          into the orbiter's onboard storage tanks. One of the major pieces
          of equipment being validated is the Orbiter Midbody Umbilical
          Unit (OMBUU) at the Pad used to service the orbiter with
          propellants during the launch countdown.

               Closeouts of the aft compartment, external tank intertank
          and solid rocket booster integrated electronic assemblies are
          underway. The launch date for mission STS-32 is being evaluated.

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

               Testing of the right orbital maneuvering system pod has been
          completed to date. A crew equipment interface test was conducted.
          Installation of the three main engines was performed. This week,
          interface verifcation tests of the main engines are planned.

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

               Power up post-flight systems testing and inspections are
          scheduled this week.

                         STS-36 SOLID ROCKET BOOSTERS - VAB

               Joint closeouts of the right center and forward field joints
          are underway. Booster stacking operations were completed last
          week and measurements of the alignment were completed.

                         STS-31 SOLID ROCKET BOOSTERS - VAB

               Stacking operations are starting with the left aft booster
          in the VAB today.
