MONDAY AUGUST 2, 1993
SpaceNews originates at KD2BD in Wall Township, New Jersey, USA. It is
published every week and is made available for unlimited distribution.
* STS-51 MISSION DELAYED *
==========================
Space Shuttle Discovery's STS-51 mission has been delayed once again when
the Ground Launch Sequencer detected an unacceptably slow speed rate of a
hydraulic power unit located inside the Shuttle's righthand solid rocket
booster. Technicians at the Kennedy Space Center troubleshooted last
weekend and a decision was made to remove and replace the hydraulic power
unit and to retest the new system before proceeding with the next launch
attempt.
A new launch date is still to be determined. Managers indicate that another
launch may occur as early as this week.

* JPL SPACE IMAGE INFORMATION *
===============================
As a follow-up to last week's report concerning space images available
from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory comes information concerning promotional
materials available through the Educational Outreach Center, 818-354-6916.
In particular, Peter McClosky, N6TGZ or Gil Yanow, the director of the
Center, K6TOS can be contacted as they have educational material packets
available for classroom and other similar uses.
Their complete address is:
Jet Propulsion Laboratory
4800 Oak Grove Drive
Pasadena, California 91103
U.S.A.
Space images abound on the Internet in many formats, although the Graphical
Interchange Format (GIF) seems to be the most popular. Some anonymous FTP
sites that carry space related GIF images include (but are not limited to):
ames.arc.nasa.gov
sseop.jsc.nasa.gov
pubinfo.jpl.nasa.gov
sunset.cse.nau.edu
Hopefully some of these sites will carry images taken by the Mars Observer
after the spacecraft encounters Mars later this month and begins a 687 day
study of the planet's environment during a full Martian year.
