STS-8 was rolled to pad 39A today, leaving the VAB shortly
after midnight, and arriving about seven hours later.  Liftoff
is scheduled for 30 August, between 0215 and 0249 EDT.  The
narrow launch window is due to the need for the ejection of
an Indian communications satellite to be in a precise place
over India at the right time.
