<br />Military shuttle countdown advances.
<br />
<br />CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. CAP)
<br />-A mystery countdown advanced
<br />todsy toward an afternoon launch
<br />of the space shuttle Discovery with
<br />. a crew of five military officers and
<br />a spy satellite to'eavesdrop on the
<br />Soviet Union and a large area of
<br />the globe.
<br />NASA spokesman Hugh Harris
<br />reported at midmorning the count
<br />was on schedule for America's
<br />first military man-in-space mis-
<br />sion. But the exact launch time re-
<br />mained a well-kept secret to ham-
<br />per Soviet efforts to monitor the
<br />$300 million satellite, which
<br />sources say is capable of tracItinj(
<br />
<br />Soviet missile tests and intercept~
<br />ing military and diplomatic com-
<br />munications in much of Europe
<br />Asia and Africa. .'
<br />The Defense Department and
<br />NASA say. only that space shuttle
<br />Discovery will lift Dff between I: 15
<br />p.m. and 4:15 p.m. EST, with a
<br />public' announcement coming
<br />when the count reaches nine mi-
<br />nutes before the intended launch.

<br />lines, the public will be told only
<br />after the fact that the satellite has
<br />been released from the shuttle's
<br />cargo bay. After that, there will be
<br />only hriefsummaries every eight
<br />hours. . .
<br />The landing time, also aoecret,
<br />will be announced 16 hours before
<br />touchdown. Discovery is expected
<br />to stay aloft until at lesst Tuesday.
<br />The deep freeze that had gripped

<br />caused a postponement of Discov-
<br />ery's planned Wednesday liftoff is
