More minor problems beset the Challenger yesterday. When astronauts went to feed their animal guests, a flood of partially eaten food and feces spewed out into the Spacelab; this was quickly cleaned up. Also, an airlock in the cargo bay jammed, so a camera that was to have gone through it could not. However, NASA says the mission is proceeding very well, despite the minor problems, and a lot of good data has been obtained from the seven working experiments out of nine on Spacelab. In fact, they are considering extending the flight by one day to give the Spacelab crew more time. The landing is currently scheduled for 6 May at EAFB.
