Trouble Located In Cooper Craft
CAPE CANAVERAL Fla AP expert scientific detective work pins the Cooper spaceflight trouble to a faulty Amp Cal amplifier unit and a corroded solder joint. Moisture likely from perspiration damaged a connection, wiping out automatic controls and forcing Gordon Cooper to rely on manual re entry. NASA reported exhaustive tests on Monday night detailing how the Amp Cal converts sensor signals to jet firings that steer the capsule. A green .05g warning during orbit and two malfunctioning inverters followed, leaving Cooper to manually control the re entry.
