Launch of Atmosphere Explorer-D delayed by telemetry issues
The second in a trio of unmanned Earth outer atmosphere craft, Atmosphere Explorer-D, has been rescheduled to Monday at 2 am from NASA West Coast facilities due to telemetry problems. A separate incident, the Rattlesnake fire near La Brea Canyon east of Santa Maria, is ruled incendiary with three Santa Maria area juveniles facing arson charges. The blaze burned 1420 acres before containment at 6 pm Sunday, with civil action planned to recoup approximately 275000 in suppression costs.
