[net.columbia] Question on delayed launch of Discovery

5143ama@hound.UUCP (A.ALGAVA) (06/26/84)

Can someone please explain how the Discovery can be rescheduled for
launch only 24 hours after its launch was scrubbed?  I thought they
had to empty and refill the fuel tanks, which takes about 48 hours.
Thanks in advance.

The process of cleaning the ET has been shortened from
48 hours to under a day, just like all the turnaround
functions have been improved.
