[net.columbia] Discovery Back in VAB

alb@alice.UUCP (Adam L. Buchsbaum) (07/15/84)

The Discovery was moved back to the VAB today, the first
time a space shuttle has been removed from the launch pad
after being rolled out there, so that workers could separate
the ship from its external tank and SRB's.  After the
separation, the shuttle will be moved to the OFP, where
modifications will be made to the cargo bay to enable the
ship to take two extra comminucations satellites up in
August.  The new launch date is, again, 24 August.
