Technicians today completed work on the Challenger's fuel tanks and filled her fuel cells with liquids hydrogen and oxygen. The countdown for the 0733 launch on Saturday will begin at 0300 EDT this Thursday. The count, cut in half from a little less than 5 days to a bit more than 2 days, was shortened due to experience gained from past flights.
