NASA revealed two additional problems with STS-9 yesterday.
Apparently, after landing, when the Columbia was being towed
off the landing strip, one of the brake assemblies fell apart,
much like one did on a previous mission.  Also, one of the
APU's failed after landing, and another was producing less
power than it should have.  NASA also hinted that STS-10 might
be delayed until the problem with the computers has been
discovered and solved; the computers will be shipped to their
manufacturer for analysis.

Meanwhile, the space agency said that Spacelab had accumulated
2 trillion bits of data on the mission, roughly equal to five
percent of the complement at the Library of Congress.
