MSFC reported that Shuttle orbiter Enterprise would go to KSC to give NASA workers experience in prelaunch handling. After a year of tests at MSFC, Enterprise would resume the tailcone on its main-engine area for piggyback flight, and the dummy pods removed during testing would be replaced. After the refit, NASA would tow the Enterprise to Redstone Army Air Field for loading on its 747 carrier, with departure set for April 12 or 13, depending on weather.
