[net.columbia] Landing Delayed Again -- Shuttle to Land at EAFB

alb@alice.UUCP (06/24/83)

NASA has just announced that, due to continuing fog and overcast
conditions at KSC, the Challenger will land at EAFB at 0957 EDT.
The landing at EAFB, which is still fully equipped, will add
about 6 days onto the turnaround time for STS-8, putting a late
August launch date in doubt.  STS-8 is scheduled to launch at
0230 EDT and land also at EAFB in the first night landing for a
shuttle.
