[net.columbia] Countdown Behind Schedule

sjb (11/09/82)

The STS-5 countdown fell seven hours behind schedule today when
a helium leak was detected in the regulators of one of the
Columbia's 44 small steering jets.  NASA, however, says that they
do not expect the problem to delay the launch, as there are 20
hours of hold time built into the countdown for just such
an occasion.  They expect the countdown to be on schedule by
tomorrow morning.

Weather for Thursday morning is expected to be very good.
