Current revision
Shuttle launch director George Page said that success of the two final fueling tests cleared the way for launch April 10, but official announcement would await a flight-readiness review at KSC Page said examination of the silo-like tank revealed "a few foam cracks" readily fixed with spray-on foam.
The launch-preparation schedule now in progress could indicate an April 9 launch, but Page wanted to give his teams a day off before the launch took place. Inquiry into the accidental death of a launchpad worker would not delay the liftoff, Page said, but the board would probably recommend revising safety procedures. (W Star, Mar 30/81 A-5)
