The astronauts aboard the Columbia woke up today to find out
that nothing wrong had happened.  The ship is in near perfect
condition after its launch.  Today's activities include the
launch of Telsat of Canada's Anik satellite, in the same manner
as yesterday's SBS-C launch.

Two recovery ships off the coast of Cape Canaveral expect to
latch on to the two floating (!) SRB's today in preparation
for their tow back to the Cape.  Two parachutes used in their
descent were used for the same purpose on STS-2.
