NASA and the Air Force yesterday said that the first launch of
a shuttle from VAFB will be postponed at least three months,
from 15 October, 1985, to no earlier than 29 January, 1986.  The
delay comes from problems with the bonding substance on Challenger's
tiles and extra time needed to prepare the payload, and infrared
satellite called Teal Ruby.
