CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Computer failure Sunday forced the second launch postponement in two days for the shuttle Discovery and the ship was grounded until Tues­ day so technicians could check for possible engine plumbing damage. Weather forecasters, however, said there was an increased possi­ bility of rain at launch time Tues­ day from either an approaching frontal system or a developing tropical disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean. The back-to-back, weekend "scrubs" imposed extra pressure on the Kennedy Space Center ground crew to get Discovery air­ borne because Thursday is the deadline for sending the shuttle up to capture and rewire the disabled Syncom 3 communications satellite. The main mission for the ship's five astronauts, however, is to de­ ploy three communications satel­ lites and earn NASA $35 million in orbital delivery fees. The satellite launchings could be accomplished with a later blastoff, but the dis­ abled Syncom 3 satellite will be out of rendezvous range after Thursday. "The team is pretty disappointed having been denied two days in a row in getting this very ambitious mission going," said launch direc­ tor Robert Sieck. "We'd been hit by weather the day before and today we had a hardware problem. The team was pretty discouraged." Discovery commander Joe Engle, seemingly undaunted by the set­ backs, echoed his statement of Sat­ urday, when the launch was delayed by bad weather, and said Sunday: "We'll get it tomorrow." Officials later, however, decided to delay for 48 hours. Engle, Richard Covey, William Fisher, James van Hoften and John Lounge spent a little more than two hours in Discovery's cabin Sunday before returning to their crew quar­ ters. They had the afternoon off and Engle went for a joy ride in a T-38 jet. ^ Sieck said the two-day delay was necessary to allow technicians to inspect large liquid hydrogen pipes between the two fuel pumps on each of the three main engines. They wanted to see if two cydes of alter- ite cold temperatures from the ius-423 degree F. hydrogen and subsequent warming after the fuel was drained damaged the pipe's insulation. The concern was that nitrogen might penetrate the insulation and expand as it was frozen and dent the fuel pipes. A significant dent could slow the flow of fuel to the engine and lead to a possible explosive engine shutdown. The ship was fueled twice with more than 500,000 gallons of liquid hydrogen and oxygen. Even though the propellants were drained from Discovery after each delay, a con­ siderable amount of hydrogen evap­ orates and NASA ordered 10 tank trucks of hydrogen rushed in from a plant in New Orleans. Seek said every day Discovery's takeoff is set back will have a corre­ sponding delay on the maiden launch of the fourth shuttle, Atlan­ tis, on a secret military flight. It had been targeted for Sept. 30. Discovery's countdown Sunday rolled along smoothly until 45 min­ utes before the planned 8:55 a.m. launch time. A computer that serves as a backup to four identical computers aboard Discovery indi­ cated it had an error in its 106,000^ word memory. A quick evaluation revealed that the trouble was not in the comput­ er's programming, but in the com­ puter itself. Engineers ordered the unit removed from Discovery and sent to Houston for testing. "It's disappointing to get all the flight sytems up to where they are lem," said shuttle chief Jesse Moore said in an interview. "But anybody who works in this business who deals with hardware knows that sometimes you're going to have hardware problems. "My philosophy is that I'd much rather find them on the ground than find them in flight." It was the second time in the four- year shuttle program that a shuttle blastoff had been delayed twice in successive days. Discovery's first flight attempt June 25, 1984 was halted by a failure In the backup computer and a launch try the next day was aborted when its main en­ gines shut down on the launch pad due to a valve problem. Discovery finally r< got off two months later. It has flown four times since then. Shuttle relies on five $1.2 million computers By William Harwood UPI Sdence Writer Golfball size hailstones pelted North Liberty, Ind., and high winds uprooted trees at Goshen, Ind. Basement flooding collapsed a home in Rockford, Miss. High pressure over northern Ne­ braska brought sunshine and cool temperatures to the northern and west central Plains and western sections of the upper Great Lakes. Lows were in the 40s and lower 50s from northeast Colorado and western Kansas across the Dakotas to western upper Michigan. Throughout the western third of the nation, overnight low tempera­ tures dipped into the 50s and 60s. Readings were in the 40s over parts of the northern Rockies while portions of the desert southwest-re­ mained in the 80s and lower 90s. Patchy dense fog early Sunday blanketed parts of the lower Ohio Valley and the middle Missouri Val­ ley. Visibilities dropped to less than a mile over parts of northwest Ohio, Indiana, central Illinois and central South Dakota. CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Space shuttles rely on 1970s-era flight computers to control nearly every phase of a mission and all five aboard the ship must be work­ ing before it can be deared for takeoff. Discovery's launch was "scrubbed" Sunday when one, which served as the backup to the other fgur, broke down late in the countdown. Launch now is sched­ uled for Tuesday. The shuttle is "flown" by the four identical IBM computers, each one performing some 325,000 operations a second during critical mission phases. The fifth IBM machine, identical to the others, monitors all shuttle activity and is ready to take over in the event of a major failure of the primary system. To be on the safe side, shuttle crews even carry a spare computer into orbit in case of a failure during flight. Each computer costs $1,225,000 and consists of two units 19 indies long, 10 inches wide and seven inch­ es high. The designated backup computer, chosen arbitrarily before launch, does not control any shuttle activi­ ties as long as the flight is proceed­ ing as planned. However, it contin­ ually monitors the actions of the other four in case it is needed. The four general purpose comput­ ers that typically control a flight utilize programs written by IBM. The primary computers operate in concert, processing the same in­ formation during critical, mission phases. The results of all calcula­ tions are compared about 440 times a second to make sure all four ma­ chines are in agreement about the proper course of action. i Officials suspect the failure Sun­ day was a hardware problem, which means a component broke sometime between Discovery's |nl* tial launch try Saturday and its sec­ ond attempt Sunday. NASA said the computer would be replaced. IN PAIN? CALL NOW! mm MMimme 4723 W. ELM ST. IRTE. 120| McHENRY.IL (815)344-1192 D*.TM0THTI.NMIUTT,DX. Know These 8 DANGER SIGNS! 1. HEADACHES 2.

The blast was heard thousands of miles away. In 1920, American women won the right to vote as the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution went into effect. In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson and Sen. Hubert Humphrey were selected to head the Democratic ticket. They won in November. In 1978, Cardinal Albino Luciani was elected the 263rd pope and chose the name John Paul. He died just 33 days later, on Sept. 28. A thought for the day: Journalist and historian George F. Kennan said, "A war regarded as inevitable or even probable, and therefore much prepared tor, has a very good chance of eventually being fought." Reagan hopes to reduce 'suspicions' at summit By Norman D. Sandler United Press International SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - President Reagan said in a weekend interview he hopes the November superpower meeting can "reduce the suspidons between us" and he will try to convince Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that America has no "hostile" intentions. Speaking by telephone Saturday to Washington Broadcast News, a public relations firm that makes interviews available to radio sta­ tions, Reagan also downplayed the prospects of the two leaders signing major agreements during the meet­ ing in Geneva, Switzerland. "I'm looking forward to the talks with him and I hope that it won't be just a session of trying to make some agreements on particular, specific issues," Reagan said, "but that we can get right down to dis­ cussing problems between us and an agenda for the future so that we can eliminate the hostilities and suspidons if possible." In a further sign of Reagan's troublefree recovery from cancer surgery stx weeks ago, the White House announced the president went horseback riding for a second day Sunday and also began some light chores by trimming trees around the ranch property. "We're back to normal," exdaimed one White House aide. Reagan said in the interview to be broadcast starting Monday "there's no question" the Soviets "are em­ barked on an expansionist pro­ gram" inimical to U.S. interests and that his goal in Geneva will be to dissuade the Soviets from "fear and suspidon that the rest of us in the world mean them harm." Although Reagan discussed his objectives for the summit for the first time since the Nov. 19-20 meet­ ing was announced, his comments echoed those made over the last several weeks by national security adviser Robert McFarlane and oth­ er senior officials. The president also hinted he will reject a plea by American shoe manufacturers for import protec­ tion--a dedsion due this week.
