Associated Press
JcAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The
I space shuttle Challenger lost power
Hone of three main engines six
Hnutes after blastoff Monday, but
■ASA said the ship had enough
Hwer to reach a lower-than-ex-
pected orbit and the seven astro-
| na its were in no immediate danger,
jit was the first time in the history
of the shuttle program that such a
Hrious problem had developed after
I liftoff.
Mission Control commentator
1 Blian Welch said the center engine
shutdown early and the two remain
ing engines burned one minute 26
minutes longer than intended to
-c propel the 100-ton spaceplane into
orbit.
■ He said another firing of a small
engine 33 minutes into the flight
would stabilize the orbit, ranging
from about 122 to 162 miles above
the Earth. The intended path was a
circular orbit with a high and low
point of 242 miles.
Aboard were $78 million in scien-
.tiFic instruments, the oldest astro
naut and eight space-age cans of
cola.
Lif toff carrie at 5 p.m. after engi
neers overcame a troublesome gy
roscope that had delayed blastoff
past the scheduled 3:23 p.m. launch
time. However, less than 10 minutes
later, NASA announced that one of
three main engines had failed, leav
ing two main engines working.
At First, there appeared to be a
possibility that the craft would make
an emergency landing in Spain, but
that chance was bypassed when
Challenger reached its orbit.
Monday’s launch was delayed ini
tially by a problem with one of the
three gyroscopes in each of two
solid-fuel rocket boosters that help
give the shuttle the thrust needed to
reach orbit.
Challenger’s seven-day mission,
the 50th manned flight since the
dawn of America’s space age in
1958, carries an array of scientific in
struments.
The crew includes Five scientists
who will work in two 12-hour shifts
to conduct experiments around the
clock.
The equipment, mounted on
three pallets attached to the cargo
bay, includes a $60-million German-
made Instrument Pointing System
designed to point telescopes pre
cisely.
NASA scientists, are anxious to
test this system so it will be ready for
another mission in March when sci
entists hope to get a good look at
Halley’s comet.
Whatever the mission contributes
to science, it may be best remem
bered for taking the terrestrial “cola
war” into orbit.
Coca-Cola and Pepsi have each
supplied the shuttle with Four spe
cially made cans designed to dis
pense beverages in weightless space.
The astronauts will test the cans and
NASA will ultimately select one of
them for future missions. Both cans
resemble shaving cream dispensers.

K PARIS (AP) — Movie and tele
vision star Rock Hudson, described
by an aide as “Fighting for his life”
against the disease AIDS, left Paris
aboard a direct flight to Los Angeles
Monday night, an airport source re
ported.
K He said Hudson and an entou
rage of nine left from the Charles de
Gaulle airport at 11:55 p.m. (5:55
pan. EDT) in a Boeing 74 / on a spe-
dal Air France flight, expected to
take about 1 I Va hours.
The airport source, speaking with
the condition that he not be identi
fied, said Hudson was flown to the
airport north of Paris aboard a heli
copter.
Hudson’s publicist in Los Angeles
said the actor was to be taken imme
diately to the medical center at the
University of California-Los Angeles
and no statement was planned when
he arrived at Los Angeles Interna
tional Airport.
“Here’s a man who’s fighting for
his life, and a press event there could
jeopardize his life,” said Dale Olson.
Cathy Dunn, a UCLA Medical
Center spokeswoman, said Hudson
was to be admitted Tuesday “for fur
ther evaluation and treatment for
his present illness.”
The actor has been in an isolation
unit at American Hospital, where he
was admitted July 21.
Hudson, 59, came to Paris to see
an AIDS specialist, but became ill the
day after arriving and was admitted
to the American Hospital.
Test ban

DETROIT — General Motors
Corp. said Monday it had made a
tentative decision to build its Saturn
car-making plant at Spring Hill,
Tenn., ending an eight-mointh com
petition in which 36 states courted
CM for the plant.
The plant will provide 6,000 jobs
directly and as many as 20,000 jobs
in related businesses.
CM began seeking workers for its
new Saturn subsidiary with publica
tion of half-page newspaper adver
tisements, comparing the innovative
car-making venture to mankind’s
first steps on the moon.
Saturn Corp. planned to release
“a pretty complete announcement”
about the plant site, CM spokesman
Bill Winters said.
GM’s announcement of the Sa
turn Corp. project in January
prompted a 36-state battle for the
plant and its jobs, with some officials
offering deals on utility rates and
taxes to sway the decision their way.
The advertisements, published in
Monday’s editions of the Detroit
Free Press and The Detroit News,
sought applications for employment
as product and manufacturing engi
neers, product development design
ers and materials management spe
cialists and said the positions were
“the first of many soon to be avail
able.”
“Sixteen years ago in July, Amer
ica stepped on the moon for the First
time,” the advertisement said. “To
day, we’re launching Saturn.”
CM has committed $5 billion to
starting up Saturn Corp. and its
manuFacturing plant in an attempt
to beat Japanese automakers at mak
ing and selling small cars.
The Saturn complex will include
two Foundries, a plastics plant and
other parts plants. It will make heavy
use of robots in a Fully automated,
paperless work environment and
CM expects eventually to be able to
make half a million cars a year, twice
the output of today’s most efficient
plants.
A preliminary contract proposal
endorsed by the United Auto Work
ers union leadership would give
workers permanent job security and
an equal voice with management in
business decisions, reducing fric
tions that lead to labor disputes, and
a pay plan that includes quarterly
performance and' attendance bo
nuses to increase worker output.
After the First car rolls out of the
plant in 1989 or 1990, Saturn cus
tomers would be able to order a car
via computer for delivery in two
weeks, reducing the length of GM’s
investment in the vehicle.

last until Jan. 1. The proclamation
called the nuclear arms race an “im
mense threat” to mankind and said
that if the United States joined the
moratorium, the Soviet Union
would consider extending the ban.
■ “Our moratorium is proclaimed
until Jan. 1, 1986,” he said. “It will
remain in ef fect, however, as long as
the United States, on its part, re
frains from conducting nuclear ex
plosions.”
In Washington, a U.S. official,
who refused to be identified, said
the United States was informed of
the test ban plan on Sunday and re
jected it.
He said the Soviet Union sharply
accelerated its nuclear tests over the
past month, apparently to make up
for time that would be lost during
the moratorium.
Earlier Monday, White House
Deputy Press Secretary Larry
Speakes said the United States had
invited the Soviets to send a team of
observers to Nevada to monitor a
U.S. nuclear test.
Both the United States and the
Soviet Union described their an
nouncements as efforts to foster the
Geneva arms talks.
“It is our conviction that ending
all tests of nuclear weapons would
become a major contribution to con
solidating strategic stability and
peace on earth,” Gorbachev said.
“Striving to facilitate the termi
nation of the dangerous competition
in building up nuclear arsenals and
wishing to set a good example, the
Soviet Union has decided to stop
unilaterally any nuclear explosions
starting from Aug. 6 this year.”
