KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Workers start securing an upper section of the support base for a 50-foot C-band radar antenna being erected on a radar site on North Merritt Island, Fla. The radar will be used for Shuttle missions to track the launches and observe possible debris coming from the Shuttle. It will be used for the first time on STS-114. The launch window for the first Return to Flight mission is July 13 to July 31.
