[net.columbia] Shuttle to Land Tomorrow

alb@alice.UUCP (06/23/83)

Recent word from NASA is that the Challenger will attempt to land
at KSC tomorrow, as weather outlooks for that region have brightened
and are now within NASA's acceptance limits.  If the shuttle cannot
land at KSC tomorrow, it will most probably be redirected to EAFB.
A potential fuel problem with one of three APU's has forced NASA
to abandon plans to delay the landing until the weekend, even though
the shuttle can land with only one of the three working.
