Satellite problems not anticipated United Press International BEDMINSTER, NJ. — The crew that will pilot a shuttle flight in August, including the first space-faring mother, said Thursday they do not expect any satellite problems similar to the ones aboard the recently completed Challenger flight. “Space flight is a very excit ing business, but it is a busi ness,” said Karol Bobko, com mander of the Aug. 9 mission, which will be the second flight of the space shuttle Discovery. Bobko and his crew, Donald Williams, Jeffrey Hoffman, Da vid Griggs and Dr. Rhea Sed- don, who will be the third American woman in space, toured the satellite facilities at American Telephone 8c Tele graph before holding a news conference on their upcoming voyage. AT&T is planning to launch its first shuttle flight satellite — and second in the Telstar 300 series — during the mission. The astronauts expressed confidence their mission could avoid what happened during the latest mission, when the Westar and Palapa satellites were lost due to rocket failures that left them both in useless or bits. “It was not a NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Admin istration) rocket that had a problem, but NASA is very much involved (in the investiga tion), ” Hoffman said. “We hope to understand the problem before Telstar is launched,” said Hoffman, who pointed out the problem was centered in a secondary rocket firing system known as PAM — Payload Assist Module. “The problem has been iso lated,” he said. “They were two identical failures after a series of successful firings. We should be able to find the problem.” Robert Lattem, director of transmission planning for AT&T, also expressed confi dence the problem would be solved before his company made a final decision on launching its $40 million satel lite. “Hughes Aircraft, NASA and McDonnell-Douglass are hard at work on this,” Lattem said. “We will be relying heavily on the output of their investiga- tion.’ r The satellite is the second of four to be launched by AT&T, which uses it network of satel lites to provide voice, data, au dio and television services to all 50 states and Puerto Rico. Bobko will be the only astro-^ naut aboard the shuttle with->; previous time in space, having^; served as pilot for the sixth space flight in April 1983. Two other space shuttles are . scheduled between now and the August flight. Town giving money to double transplant victim United Press International CUMBY — Auctions, telethons and bake sales are some of the money-seeking methods people in Hunt County have used to raise funds to help expenses for Stormie Jones, a 6-year-old girl who underwent both heart and liver transplants in Pittsburgh Tuesday. More than $7,700 has been donated to the Stormie Jones special account at the First Na tional Bank in Commerce said vice president Lee Wicks. Stormie was listed in critical condition in the intensive care unit of Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh following the sur gery in which doctors first re placed her heart, then her liver. It marked the first time such a double transplant has been done in one operation and was necessitated because ^ doctors said Stormie’s heart, weak from earlier double bypass surgery, could not withstand the liver transplant. Stormie suffers from a rate genetic disease — familial hy percholesterolemia, which cre ates extremely high levels of cholesterol in the blood. Though Stormie and her mother, Lois Jones, have been residents of the tiny community 60 miles northeast of Dallas for little more than a year, people there have been quick to come to their aid. Bob Monday, who employs Jones’ fiancee, Donnie Milsap, began the bank fund in early January with a $50 donation, Wicks said. Radio station KEMM-FM held a telethon Jan. 21 that raised $6,000 in pledges and the Commerce Journal raised about $1,000 in a auction, in which employees donated their services to the highest bidder. “We auctioned off our own services,” said editor Kip Cur- rens. “Our news editor, Mei-Lan Shih, is preparing a Chinese dinner for six. An employee submitted the high bid of $40 for that. Publisher Bill Muldoon offered services as a chauffeur in full uniform using his Cadil lac. That was purchased by the Kiwanis club for $75.” Monique Benson at KEMM said she saw a story about the fund being started at the bank for Stormie. “There was a lot of support for them and we’re still getting checks. We’re not a very pop ulated area, so it is amazing how much money we’ve been able to raise,” she said. Though Benson said she had not met Stormie, who was in a Dallas hospital before transfer ring to Pittsburgh, she did speak to her on the telephone during the telethon. r An i n-z 1—r-rx FNHCa-l PASTAS ETJU. fe 0 XT AM- 4- pM -*2.-00 narofWivjtXfcS "TwtOks - * 3«o o *1q0q “I called and talked to Don nie Milsap and found out about all the pain this little girl has been through.
