The launch of STS-6 was delayed yet again yesterday as officials
expressed concern over the possible contamination of the Challenger's
cargo:  a tracking data relay satellite.  Wind of 60 to 70 mph hit
KSC last month and NASA fears some springs in the satellite may have
been damaged.  The satellite will be removed, by Saturday, and fixed
on the pad.  The new launch date will be sometime the first week of
April.
