Hugh Harris, spokesman for NASA, said today that the space shuttle will probably not land on the 15,000 paved runway at Cape Canaveral on its fifth flight, the first operational one, tentatively scheduled to blast off on 11 November, 1982. Harris said that the early morning landing scheduled for STS-4 at Edwards Air Force Base will probably not provide a landing in cross winds, which prevail at KSC. He said that the shuttle flight in the spring of 1983 will probably be the first to land at KSC.
