Shuttle to move to launch pad for secret satellite flight
Technicians prepared to shift the space shuttle Columbia to the launch pad at Cape Canaveral for an early August flight with a top secret spy satellite. A tracked vehicle will move at up to 1 mph on a four mile trek, after delays due to thermal protection tile work. Liftoff is now targeted for the first week of August with a July 25 readiness review to set a firm date. Columbia, oldest shuttle, returns to flight after 32 months grounded following the Challenger disaster 10 days before the 1986 accident anniversary. Discovery and Atlantis have flown since, making this Columbia’s turn for a high stakes mission.
