               The vehicle was powered up this morning and the pad has been
          cleared of all non-essential personnel for final ordnance
          operations today. During this activity, ordnance devices will be
          reinstalled on the vehicle, boosters and external tank and the
          firing circuits will be tested.

               This afternoon, the orbital maneuvering system and reaction
          control system tanks will be pressurized for flight. Tomorrow,
          the dewars at Pad A will be filled with liquid oxygen and liquid
          hydrogen propellants in preparation for loading the orbiter's
          onboard storage tanks during the launch countdown.

               Call-to-stations for the launch countdown is planned for 4
          p.m. EST Thursday, Jan. 4. The STS-32 flight crew is scheduled to
          arrive at KSC on Friday. Launch of STS-32 remains scheduled for
          Jan. 8 at 8:06 a.m. EST.

               Leak checks of the crew cabin and of the main propulsion
          system helium system are underway today. Technicians are
          preparing to power up the vehicle for systems testing and to open
          the payload bay doors tomorrow.

               Atlantis is scheduled to be transferred to the VAB in about
          two weeks for mating with the boosters and external tank.
