[sci.space.shuttle] Sts-37

Hello.  I need to know when STS-37 will fly. I assume that the press release 
has been released... I need a copy of this: I'm doing a story for the college
paper at Humboldt State University, The Lumberjack, and I need as much
info about this mission, and specifically, Sarex.  Id like to time this
article with the launch of sts-37.

Any help and info is appreciated!!

I knew it would change as soon as I posted that article :-)  As of
today (3/22/91) mission planners are using April 6, 1417 UTC as the
target launch time.  If things go well it could move up to the 5th.
Final date won't be set until the Flight Readiness Review next week,
and as usual, until the SRBs are lit we won't know the real launch time.

There has been a slight change in the planned trajectory, yielding a
slightly different orbit, so here is a new set of Keplerians:
