	KSC-03V-0368 (01/31/2003) --- Amfitrión: viernes, 31 de enero de el 2003. Desde el centro espacial Kennedy en Florida, esta es una transmisión de breves noticias tituladas: “KSC Direct !” Les informa Félix Alberto Soto Toro. El primero de febrero, el transbordador menos joven, el “Columbia” regresará al Kennedy después de 16 dias de experimentacion espacial. La nave tendra oportunidad de aterrizar a las 9:15 de la mañana o hasta 90 minutos después. Mientras la misión del STS-107 termina en el espacio, acá en la tierra, continuamos preparando el transbordador “Atlantis” para su lanzamiento a principios de marzo. En la noche de este pasado miércoles, se integraron los components de esta misión y seran transportados a la plataforma de lanzamientos 39B. El Atlantis, estará llevando el equipo de Expedición 7 y regresando al los integrantes de Expedición 6 que llevan viviendo en la estación espacial desde noviembre de el 2002 ! Esta ha sido una transmission de noticias para “KSC Direct!”
	KSC-03V-0369 (01/31/2003) --- January 31, 2003. From the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, this is a KSC Direct! News Brief. I’m Bruce Buckingham. On February 1st, NASA’s oldest orbiter, Columbia, will return to KSC after a16-day mission devoted solely to science and research. Touchdown of the vehicle is expected at about 9:15am, with a second attempt available about 90 minutes later if necessary. As shuttle mission STS-107 comes to a close, Kennedy Space Center’s shuttle processing team is preparing Atlantis for its early March launch. Rollover to the Vehicle Assembly Building and mating to the External Tank occurred last Wednesday, and the shuttle stack now awaits its move to launch pad 39B. Atlantis will take the Expedition 7 crew up to the International Space Station and return to Earth the crew of Expedition 6, who have been in orbit since November of 2002. From the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, this has been a KSC Direct! News Brief.
	KSC-03V-0364 (01/17/2003) --- January 17, 2003. From the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, this is a KSC Direct! News Brief. I’m Bruce Buckingham. After years of preparation and training, the crew of STS-107 has finally lifted off aboard Columbia from the Kennedy Space Center. The launch took place at 10:39am Eastern Time on a beautiful Thursday morning at the Cape, bringing a cargo full of valuable science and technology experimentation with it. The 16-day trip will be the first shuttle flight since 1999 to be focused solely on scientific research. Processing of the SORCE spacecraft continues at Kennedy Space Center, with launch scheduled for early afternoon on January 25th. The spacecraft will be rocketed into orbit aboard a Pegasus XL launch vehicle, and will monitor solar radiation and global climate change to help researchers understand the effect of the Sun on our planet.
