[net.columbia] STS Launch Schedule?

sjb (02/03/83)

There is no such schedule yet available.  NASA still hasn't even
released a launch date for STS-6, but they are aiming for ''sometime
in March.''  Certainly, the April launch date for STS-7 will not
go through.  Two high priorities are an upcoming DoD mission and
STS-9, the ESA Spacelab mission, originally scheduled for September.
In order to meet those launches on time, NASA *MAY* launch a few
satellites booked for the shuttle on board Deltas instead, or it
may postpone a flight this year to next year.
