[net.columbia] When is the next launch?

wrp@ariel.UUCP (04/26/84)

Will the next launch be on June 4? I ask this because I am interested in
taking the trip to KSC to see it happen.

I am also interested in any info on  where  to stay; how early to get there;
what  the closest (best) possible viewing area is for us  non-V.I.P.  types.
Also, is the film "Hail Columbia" being shown in the vicinity of the KSC.

Thank you for any information.

According to the most recent issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology
(available at many libraries), June 20 is the planned launch date for
STS-41D (the twelfth shuttle mission).  It is planned to be a seven day
mission with a six person crew.
