[net.columbia] Engine Replaced

alb@alice.UUCP (Adam L. Buchsbaum) (07/10/84)

Workers today replaced the Number 3 Engine of the
Discovery well ahead of schedule.  The old engine
and its faulty valve have been shipped separately
to a testing lab and the manufacturer (respectively)
for further examination.  NASA, wanting to fully
understand the problem that led to the aborted
launch of 41-D, said that 17 July looks like the
earliest possible new launch date.
