Using bits of plastic and other cheap things floating
around the shuttle, astronauts will fashion a fly-swatter-
like device that will be attached to the end of the
RMS on Tuesday during an unplanned EVA.  Then, on
Wednesday, the Discovery will close in on the failed
satellite, ejected Saturday, and, using the snagger,
will attempt to grab hold of a lever that officials
think did not snap open all the way.  The idea of
an astronaut boarding the end of the RMS and trying
it by hand was ruled out for fear of bumping or
crushing him against the satellite.

Meanwihle, Challenger was moved to the pad today.
