LAUNCH ADVISORY:  NEW DATE SET FOR STS-30

     NASA managers today decided to proceed toward a possible 
launch of STS-30 no earlier than Thursday, May 4, 1989, at 1:48 
p.m. EDT (with a 64-minute window that day) pending completion of 
testing and analysis to understand clearly the problems 
encountered during Friday's launch attempt.  This plan is 
optimistic, and program officials will continue to meet and 
assess progress toward launch.

     The pre-launch briefing the day before launch (time and 
participants to be announced) will contain a summary of the 
corrective measures taken and the analysis performed since 
Friday's scrub.
