countdown sequence to better accommodate short five-minute
window required for rendezvous with Mir, including adding more
hold time at T-6 hours and T-9 minutes. Launch first scheduled
for Feb. 2 postponed at L-1 when one of three inertial
measurement units on orbiter failed. Countdown Feb. 3 proceeded
so smoothly there was extra time left in T-9 minute hold. Launch
marked first at 51.6-degree inclination
