CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Discovery commander Thomas Mattingly reported today that the first clandestine space shuttle flight was going well, but there was no word on whether the big spy
satellite carried aloft had been deployed.
Sources said the deployment of the “big ear” satellite meant to listen in on the Soviet Union would take place sometime today but that a simultaneous announcement would not be made. When the
first military shuttle mission will return to the Kennedy Space Center also was a mystery, but the sources said it could be Monday or Tuesday.
