The Columbia landed at KSC today at 1033 EDT. It will be detached from its jumbo jet and taken to the Orbiter Processing Facility, where it will sit aside the Challenger for about eight weeks, as both are prepared for space flight simultaneously.

The Columbia landed atop a 747 at KSC today, where technicians will begin examining all the problems that occurred during STS-9.

I always wondered how they got the shuttle on top of the 747, but I didn't know they could land with such precision!! I think they should take it down before examining it, though. Bob Stewart
