Shuttle delays Spartan satellite release on Columbia mission
NASA postponed the Spartan sun observing satellite drop after a Soho solar observatory issue forced a delay. Ground controllers plan two days of solar study, with Spartan to be retrieved on December 5 after joint solar observations. Ukrainian astronaut Leonid Kadenyuk tends mustard plants and pollinates seeds as part of a plant growth experiment, part of a US Ukrainian program involving about 60,000 students.
