'Star Wars' mission
NASA counts down
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
(AP) — NASA began another
countdown for the space shuttle
Discovery on Thursaay after re
placing an engine sensor that
railed during fueling for a launch
attempt earlier this week.
Tests on the new sensor indi
cate it works well, NASA test di
rector A1 Sofge said.
"We're fairly certain it is the
transducer (sensor) that was the
problem," Sofge said. "We're
very comfortable with that and
looking forward to having no
problem with that during the
launch countdown."
Discovery is scheduled to lift
off on a military mission devoted
to "Star Wars" research at 6:01
a.m. CDT Sunday.
NASA was loading Discov
ery's external fuel tank for a
Tuesday liftoff when the sensor
began showing impossibly li
pressure readings for one of
three main engines.
Workers removed the sensoi
and its attached electrical cables
Wednesday.
While inside the engine
partment, workers also repaired
minor helium leaks in a plate be
tween the orbiter and external
fuel tank. Unusually hi^li
amounts of helium were
tected in the compartment dur
ing fueling late Monday and
early Tuesday, Sofge said. He
lium, an inert gas, is used
purge the area.
Sofge said the leaks all
probably would not have
laved liftoff.
Pres. Salinas
inaugurates
subway system
MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) —
President Carlos Salinas de Gor-
tari on Thursday inaugurated
Monterrey's metropolitan rail
system and an international
business center touted as Latin
America's largest.
Salinas praised the northeast
state of Nuevo Leon for its "te
nacity and entrepreneurship" in
developing the two projects and
others, including a four-lane su
perhighway to Laredo, Texas, El
Cuchillo dam and a border cross
ing at Colombia.
"The government of Mexico
will continue to support contin
ued development in Nuevo
Leon," Salinas told a gathering
of about 900 businessmen. "You
deserve it."

The 11.5-mile metro line took
three years to complete and cost
$244 million. The cost was split
equally by the state and federal
