A simulated ignition of Discovery's Number 3 engine yesterday
yielded no problems; the only unusual thing found was a tiny
foreign particle on a cable connector.  Due to the inconclusive
troubleshooting, NASA has decided that it would be more time
efficient to replace the entire engine.  On Monday, the Number
3 engine will be replaced with the engine that used to be
Discovery's Number 1 engine until it, itself, was replaced
last month due to a now-fixed loose fuel pump thermal shield.
NASA plans to reschedule the launch next week, with 16 and
18 July being considered as possible launch dates.
