The BBS will have the latest Keplerian element sets available during
the flight. The number is 713- 244-5625, 9600 baud or less.
Additional Shuttle mission information will be available throughout
the flight from the NASA Spacelink computer bulletin board. To
reach the bulletin board, dial 205-895-0028, or on internet use the
address spacelink.msfc.nasa.gov.
The flight is scheduled to launch at 1206 UTC on Friday, April 8.
Amateur Radio licensed crewmembers Jay Apt, N5QWL, and Linda Godwin,
N5RAX, will operate the Shuttle Amateur Radio EXperiment. Apt is
the commander of the Blue Shift and will operate the shuttle systems
during the ''night'' shift, while Godwin is responsible for overall
operation of three large radars in the shuttle's cargo bay during
the ''day'' shift. They will operate both FM voice and packet during
the mission.
Keep posted to W1AW bulletins for additional SAREX information and
