The Discovery today successfuly deployed a satellite owned by
a consortium of Arab countries.  The deployment was delayed
while crew members inspected the berthed satellite via remote
camera to determine whether or not a sensor that reported a
premature deployment of a solar panel was malfunctioning.  The
panel turned out to be locked into its proper place.  After
satellite deployment, its PAM engine ignited and took it to
its geosynchronous orbit.
