    CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - NASA technicials have begun remodeling
the shuttle Discovery's cargo hold to carry two additional satellites
as part of plans to combine its delayed maiden voyage with a
scheduled August mission.
    Work began Tuesday, said National Aeronautics and Space
Administration spokesman Dick Young. The earliest launch date would be
Aug. 24, he said.
    NASA plans monthly shuttle launches starting in October.
    Discovery will retain the IMAX camera and a drug-making machine from
the delayed June mission. It will also carry Leasat II, the satellite
Business Systems and the Telstar satellite.
