NASA and the ESA put off until around 1 November the setting
of the STS-9 launch date.  Engineers are preparing the Columbia
to be ready to launch on 28 November, but the two agencies might
opt to wait until February, when conditions will be better for
Spacelab.  If that happens, Spacelab will have to be removed
from the Columbia and moved to KSC's Operations and Checkout
Building for ''storage and maintenance.''
