There's a pretty good article on the shuttle redesign in Tuesday's New
York Times (section C1). It says that this Sunday the Discovery will
be wheeled out to the pad for a checkup. And then on July 22nd the
main engines will be fired for 20 seconds. Four days later, the last
of the solid rocket motor tests will be conducted by Morton Thiokol.
I don't think it mentioned a launch date, but the first week in
September would be a good guess.

There is also a much more detailed series of articles in the
latest issue of DISCOVER magazine on the newly redesigned Space
Shuttle.

OMNI has a "Special Space Issue" for July. I have not read it so
I don't know how good it is.

Boy, if the "Discovery" article is "detailed" then the NY Post =
NY Times. As with other times when I bought this magazine, I was
disappointed with the lack of technical detail and the subjective
writing. I'm not looking for the same detail as "Science", but
the information and prose is only one step higher than "Popular
Science"-if you know what I mean.
Save your money.
