Faulty switch could prevent Apollo 15 moon landing
SPACE CENTER Houston AP Apollo 15 astronauts Scott Worden and Irwin sped toward the moon as Mission Control warned a flicker in an instrument panel might stop a lunar landing. The light signals a possible fault in one of two propulsion engine controls but no danger to the crew. If the back up system fails, landing would be canceled and the craft would remain in lunar orbit. The crew fired the main engine as planned to allow monitoring for defects while continuing toward the moon. The issue prompted tests and possible bypasses, but launch and flight proceeded with high confidence despite the glitch.
