[net.columbia] STS-7 Slightly Delayed

alb (04/29/83)

The turnaround between STS-6 and STS-7 has fallen a bit
behind schedule, and NASA, previously hoping to launch
on 9 June, now says the launch will probably come between
12 and 17 June.  Already, the turnaround crews have
removed a leaky steering jet from the aft section of the
craft, pulled one of the three fuel cells for the replacement
of a pressure switch, and removed one of the six on board
computers for replacement.
