Shuttle crew completes remarkable satellite salvage mission and returns craft
The Discovery crew succeeded in a seven hour space operation to revive Hughes Communications drum satellite dead since April. Engineers report outer shell temperatures normal and hope the 7 500 pound unit may be positioned in orbit 22 300 miles above Earth. Astronauts van Hoften and Fisher receive praise for what Hughes calls the most remarkable salvage mission in space history. A power screwdriver was lost in space during the final prep. The shuttle is slated to land at Edwards Air Force Base before dawn Tuesday.
