The Challenger closed to within 375 miles of Solar Max this morning, and the astronauts got their first visual and radar sitings of the satellite. Later, the shuttle moved to 10 miles distance. Soon, at 0929 EST, Nelson and Van Hoften will enter the cargo bay, and Nelson will begin moving towards the satellite at 1019 EST, arriving 10 minutes later. Yesterday, the astronauts successfully deployed the LDEF.
