[net.columbia] Challenger to Launch Monday

NASA yesterday rescheduled the aborted launch of the
Challenger for 1523 EDT, 29 July.  Landing will be
seven days later at EAFB.  The valve actuator and control
system from the Number 2 Engine, suspected to the be
cause of the abort, were replaced, and all engines
tested thoroughly.  Although a computer controlling
an array of experiments in the cargo bay failed, NASA
said a backup could do the job -- the main computer is
inaccessible on the launch pad.
