[net.columbia] Challenger Launch Delayed

sjb (01/06/83)

The launch of STS-6 will take place ''no earlier than 1 February,''
NASA said today, as engineers still look for the hydrogen leak.
They will decide by Friday whether or not to conduct a second test
firing of the main engines.  On Monday, a simulated computerized
countdown, with all four astronauts and mission specialists participating,
will be held as scheduled.
