     Well, I work in Boeingland, and we build the IUS which is used
to deliver the TDRSS.  According to the secretary of the IUS program
manager, the next launch of the Shuttle, scheduled for Sept 3, will
carry the TDRSS-B.  She ought to know because her boss is going to
the Cape to watch the launch.
