The first item on the list is the removal and cleansing of the OMS pods, and of course, rebonding of tiles. Then the shuttle will be moved to the Vehicle Assembly Building where it will be mated with an external tank and two new SRB's. Target date for STS-4 is 27 June. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
