Meanwhile, Anik-C and Palapa-B, released over the weekend, reached thei intended orbits with no problems. NASA also announced that TDRS-1 should be in the proper orbit by Monday. Conditions at KSC were not favorable today for a landing, and NASA reports that the weather does not look good for either tomorrow or Thursday. Friday, the scheduled landing day, is still iffy.
