Shuttle Processing Note: NASA managers today chose Monday, June 3, as the
next opportunity to launch Space Shuttle Endeavour on Mission STS-111/UF2 to
the International Space Station. After reviewing weather forecasts for the
weekend, mission managers determined that there was too high of a threat for
severe thunderstorms in the KSC vicinity to make launch attempts for either
Saturday or Sunday.

Early weather forecasting shows a 70 percent chance of weather violation at
the preferred launch time Monday. The shuttle crew and Expedition Five crew
will remain at the Kennedy Space Center reviewing mission plans, conducting
proficiency training in the Shuttle Training Aircraft, relaxing and visiting
with family members. A launch advisory will be issued Sunday afternoon
providing the planned launch time for Monday.
