shuttle scrub
Joe Engle and Richard Truly returned to Johnson Space
Center in Houston to undergo more simulator experience
before a seconds try at the second launch of the shuttle
is attempted.  Today, inspection of the APU filter units
began -- it should take about 2 days.  If the decision
(expected Saturday) is to simply ``flush and fill'' them,
the earliest a new launch could take place would be next
Wednesday; if the units are to be replaced, it will probably
occur the next week.  New units would require 32 hours
to install plus additional time to test.  Also today,
hydrogen and oxygen fuel in the Columbia's external tank
was unloaded and stored.
