[net.columbia] Rollback to VAB

alb@alice.UUCP (10/18/83)

The Columbia was rolled back to the VAB today, where it
will be demated from its external tank and SRB assembly.
Then, the shuttle will be moved back to the OPF, where
batteries will be recharged and Spacelab checked, and
the nozzle of the righthand SRB will be replaced.  The
whole thing will be reassembled by 6 November, and NASA
expects to be able to roll it back out to the pad by
the 10th (if the launch is to go off on the 28th; the
final decision on the launch date won't come for another week)
