The following estimates are based on my latest lift-off estimate of 2002
Apr 04 at 22:12 UTC +/- 2 min:
1 99999U 02094.95262635 .00025948 12201-4 18433-4 0 13
2 99999 51.6368 61.2517 0011454 285.1487 252.4856 16.17009401 09
These elements are from STS 108, about 40 min after its launch. I
changed the epoch and rotated the RAAN to the circumstances of the STS
110 launch.
Launch delays of a few days are not uncommon, due mainly to bad weather.
Here are the launch times for the week beginning with the scheduled
launch date:

I have written a freeware MS-DOS program to generate the above lift-off
times. Copies available upon request. Source code is not available.
