Space shuttle Columbia fifth day of orbital test with door trouble
CAPE CANAVERAL UPIs space shuttle Columbia continues its fifth day of orbital test. The crew rotated the craft to warm the cargo bay doors after one door warped and refused to latch in the sun. Engineers expect a fix as sun heat aids the 60 foot panels. Mattingly prepared to walk in space if needed to close and latch the door.
