The crew of STS-7 today completed their major mission goal in
successfully deploying the Indonesian satellite Palapa B.  Yesterday,
Anik C of Canada was similarly ejected.  Wednesday, the crew
will let loose a West German satellite from the RMS and then,
one orbit later, pick it back up and place it back in the cargo
bay.  It will be the first time such an operation has occurred.
