Can anybody tell me what happened to the TDRS?  I've only caught very
brief non-technical items on its partial failure.  Did it lose one of its
transceivers and how does it affect the entire bird?

Thanks.

P.S.  The TDRS is the Tracking Data Relay Station that was put up by the 
Shuttle earlier this year and is crucial to the sucess of SpaceLab.
