[net.columbia] Shuttle at Pad

sjb (05/27/82)

The space shuttle Columbia was rolled out of the VAB today at
0700 EDT and reached its pad at 1309 EDT.  The 3.5 mile trip
was completed without problems, and everything is on schedule.
One month of tests will be conducted on the shuttle to make sure
it is space-worthy.

The Columbia reached pad 39A at 1000 EDT today, right on schedule.
The end to the rollout procedure was not expected until 1330 EDT
though, when the shuttle is actually secured to the pad.  Then,
three days of gas, electrical, and other connections will ensue.

The shuttle is now at the pad, after its rollout had been
delayed a few hours this morning due to a minor problem
with an SRB nozzle.
